20130418 Talking Heads - Burning Down The House

2013년 4월 18일 오늘의 곡은 Talking Heads의 Burning Down The House입니다, 1983년에 발표된 5집 Speaking In Tongues의 타이틀곡으로 빌보드차트 9위까지 오르며 큰 인기를 구가합니다. 데이비드 번의 광기어린듯한 보컬과 행동이 토킹헤즈하면 생각나는 이미지인데요. 전위예술적이면서도 신비스러운 느낌마저 들게 합니다. 데이비드 번은 오버사이즈의 정장을 입고 나와 유행시키고 했지요. 중얼거리기도 하고 소리지르기도 하는 데이비드 번의 보컬이 오늘따라 왠지 구슬프게 들리기도 하네요. 뮤직비디오 끝부분이 약간 공포스럽기도 하네요. 도로위에 얼굴이 떠있으니 무섭; 즐감하세요!

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

My house S'out of the ordinary
That's might Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
