[Verse 1]
It's just a look
And it makes the boys quiver
Yes, it's the look
And now they remember

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Had they forgotten
What this all means?
I think they want to forget
And they hope that this time
Not this time

[Chorus]
I won't look
I've got other things to do now
I forgot what it was
I've got to get to work now
They set an example for us, I see it
It can happen to me too
And it didn't make any difference to us
But I forgot the trouble, that's the trouble
Forgot the trouble, that's the trouble
Forgot the trouble and that's the trouble
With our love
With our love
With our love

[Verse 2]
They hear the words
Such as "you're really special"
And they can't face that feeling
And they can't really tell
I look out the window, and I
I call that education, and I
I see all my friends standing out there, and I
I call that education—sophistication

[Pre-Chorus 2]
They're not so busy
That they won't be affected
Because things come and go and I see 'em
But I won't be neglected
Not this time

[Chorus]
I won't look
I've got other things to do now
I forgot what it was
I've got to get to work now
They set an example for us, I see it
It can happen to me too
And it
Didn't make any difference to us
But I forgot the trouble, that's the trouble
Forgot the trouble, that's the trouble
Forgot the trouble and that's the trouble
With our love
With our love
With our love

Talking Heads

Ground-breaking rock band Talking Heads is arguably one of the most influential bands of all time. Spearheaded by their slightly crazy lead singer David Byrne, they were at the forefront of the New Wave movement.

The band was formed in 1974 by Byrne and drummer Chris Frantz. Frantz’s then-girlfriend-later-wife Tina Weymouth was quickly recruited to play bass. After a few recordings and performances, guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Harrison was hired to round out the group.

Their first album, Talking 77, was appropriately released in 1977. It quickly received critical acclaim.
