Lyrics for What A Day That Was by Talking Heads:
| | | Artist: | Talking Heads |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | What A Day That Was | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 219 | | | | Lyrics: | Well, I'm dressed up so nice
An' I'm doin' my best
An' I'm startin' over..
I'm startin'
over in another place
Lemme tell you a story
Big chief with a golden crown
He's got
rings on his fingers
And then he walks up, up to the throne
He's makin' shapes with his
hands
An' don't choo dare sit back
Now don't choo dare sit down
And don't choo dare
speak up!
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Ooh who could've asked
for more?
And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do
Ooh what a day that
was.
There are 50,000 beggars
Roaming in the streets
They have lost all their
possessions
They have nothing left to eat
Down come a bolt of lightning
Start an
electrical storm
Starts a chain reaction
Go pull a fire alarm
I'm dreaming of a
city
It was my own invention
I put the wheels in motion
A time for big
decisions
And on the first day, we had everything we could stand
Ooh and then we let it
fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else at all
Ooh what a day that
was.
Oh a day that was
Ooh that's the way it goes
There's a million ways- to get
things done
There's a million ways- to make things work out.
Well I'm going right
through
And the light came down
Well they're roundin' 'em up
from all over
town
They're movin' forward and backwards
They're movin' backwards and front
And
they're enjoying themselves
Moving in ev'ry direction
And if you feel like you're in a
whirlpool
You feel like going home
You feel like talking to someone
