When my love
Stands next to your love
I can't compare love
When it's not love

It's not love
It's not love
Which is my face
Which is a building
Which is on fire
On fire

When my love
Stands next to your love
I can't define love
When it's not love

It's not love
It's not love
Which is my face
Which is a building
Which is on fire

[David Byrne making noises]

I've got two loves
I've got two loves
And they go tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet like little birds

They're my two loves
And they go tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet like little birds
They're my two loves

Count 'em one, two loves
Count 'em one, two loves
Which is my face
Which is a building
Which is on fire
On fire

When my love
Stands next to your love
I can't define love
When it's not love

Oh
It's not love
It's not love
Which is my face
Which is a building
Which is on fire

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.
