Lyrics
The big difference, when he grows up in fact
The year 2001, is that he will have
In his own house, not as big as this
But at least a console to which he can talk to his friends
And get all the information he needs for his everyday life
This time last year, the day the at it started
She spoke of love and how in practice, it cannot be applied
'Bout the crisis of the housing market
Sat up lovely, in her second home, in the Scottish countryside
We went out to a meal, she ordered lobster thermidor
Broke me down with words, 'bout how much she hates the troubadour
After violating the staff, paid and said
"Why can't you understand?
With every piece of hate I spread, they pay me twenty grand"
I fell in love with a talking head
Tried not to listen but she made me
Fell in love with a talking head
Said, "You'll either love me or hate me"
She did a tasteful bit of investigative journalism
About the stupidest family in Britain
But she interviewed the dad for sixty seconds
Scribbled down her genius in all of one sitting
She were cool, 'cos she didn't care
Said what she liked
It was apparent she didn't like a thing, not even me
She said, "I'm professionally sesquipedalian"
Or whatever, whatever, whatever that means
I fell in love with talking head
Tried not to listen but she made me
Fell in love with a talking head
Said, "You'll either love me or hate me"
Isn't it fitting that I hate you now?
I hate you now
She couldn't stop her talking
Her talking got me drinking
And in the pleasant arms of alcohol
The spirits got me thinking
Our love is far too hateful
Her genius grows distant
And the world would sure be grateful if I ended it's existence
So I took us in a car
(The cliffs were where it led)
The cliffs were where it led
Now I'm staring at the headstone
Of the loveliest of talking heads
Fell in love with a talking head
Tried not to listen but she made me
Fell in love with a talking head
Said, "You'll either love me or hate me"
Why do I love you now?
I love you now
I love you now
Love you now
