After a feature on Never Mind The Buzzcocks earlier tonight, I got the urge to dig out the old Talking Heads albums I've not listened to in ages. Particularly their debut album from 1977 of which this track (Psycho Killer) is the highlight.

from my library (vinyl)



Another pleasant surprise. I thought I didn't like this album. I thought wrong. Johns fourth solo project, grades out pretty good. Three excellent tracks on a nine track album. Maybe John trys to do too much here, as the music is all over the place with do-wop, fiddle, sax on various cuts. Seems to work for me though. The album even made the charts here, at #182. As feared, no clips available for any of this.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Lady Killer

Best Track - Mad Dog

You're in trouble
Big trouble
Judy's boyfriend got out today
When he was in jail you took his girl away
When he gets back you're gonna have to pay him double
You'd better worry
Or you'll be sorry
He's at the edge of town and he's got a gun
Better get out fast, get up and run
You won't get no help from anyone here son
Better hurry.

Forget the romance
Move your pants
If you don't get out now
You won't get another chance.

Cause he's a mad dog
Don't get into a fight
He's a mad dog
Better shoot on sight
Before he tries to bite.

(Sax Solo)

You'd better run 'til you drop
Don't try to stop
Find a mountain
And climb right up to the top.

Cause he's a mad dog
Don't get into a fight
He's a mad dog
Better shoot on sight
Before he tries to bite.

Use your head
Or you'll be dead
He's at the end of the street, and he's shouting your name
He's lost his girl and you're to blame
Any second now that gun'll spit flame and lead.

Anyhow
It's too late now
With a smile on his face he walks through the door
Fires his gun and your head hits the floor
Did you really think love was worth dying for
It's just trouble.

You'd better run 'til you drop
Don't try to stop
Find a mountain
And climb right up to the top.

Cause he's a mad dog
Don't get into a fight
He's a mad dog
Better shoot on sight
Before he tries to bite.

^^
so did you buy this already?

damn, it rose to the top of the list fast.

Just remembered I hadn't responded to this...

No Ed, haven't bought it, It's Robbie at work again.

Listened to disc 2 again last night.

Can't believe you got distracted in the thread.

Think I'm starting to suffer from some of the confusion you keep mentioning...

I understand. It's hard for even me to keep track of where my brain's going.
