A Clean Break (Let’s Work)Talking Heads

Released: March 24, 1982

Songwriter: David Byrne

Producer: Talking Heads

Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away

Even now we remember what we used to say
Takes a minute to wash that love away
Take a clean break: wash that love away
Woooo!

Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'd be together if we cut that love away

It's a matter of degrees and
That's true, that's true
And it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away

Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away

Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'd be together if we cut that love away

It's a matter of degrees and
That's true, that's true
Loses its perspective when it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away

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.
