See, the moral panic-mongers were right all along.
Pulp novels really do promote gratuitous sax and violins.

Love these! Will have to wait for “Heaven, Heaven is a place, a place where nothing ever happens.” and “Love for Sale.”

Awesome songs but this is the one that most sounds like a magazine cover of some kind to me:
I mean, do you run out of kleenex, paper towel and toilet paper all at the same time?
You know it’s TRUE!

“Take Me to the River” is, of course, a cover
The original is by Al Green, but the Talking Heads version is more like this one

It would be fun to see how this works with “Nothing But Flowers” or “Cross-eyed & Painless” or “Don’t Worry 'Bout the Government.” And if the artist wants to branch out, there are probably some Steely Dan & Tom Waits & Roxy Music lyrics that would be worth a look …

Ohh, these are BEAUTIFUL, nice find. Talking Heads were my first “favourite band” and This Must Be The Place (included in this set) remains close to the old ticker. The Talking Heads plus pulp covers? Together at last

I’m not that much of a Roxy Music fan, but pretty much everything Steely Dan and Tom Waits ever did.
Plus, Warren Zevon.
Cool.
