And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was

Water dissolving and water removed
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Removed water (water dissolving and water removed) remove remove remove remove remove
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up
Time isn't after us
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
After the rain holds up
Same as it ever was
Then a twister comes
Here comes the twister
(Letting the days go by) same as it ever was, same as it ever was

sound like medium sh!tty modern indie
LOVED IT THEN! LOVE IT NOW! SAME AS IT EVER WAS!
To be honest, this is nearly my daily mantra at work.
I have a metal head in my team at work. I'm more of a suit man so his first reaction was one of dislike. Until our manager said a few words that reminded both of us of this song and we both started to say the lyrics out loud at the same time. Since then we became friends and found out that we have more in common than with the other colleagues. I introduced him to Radio Paradise and he listens it now too.
Cool story! Thank You for sharing it!
9---->10. never tire of this one.

Don't worry, it's only 2 minutes; must be seen at least Once in [your] Lifetime!
Holy. Cow.
This already got me excited to hear Talking Heads again. Familiar indeed. And I am glad to find myself listening to these noises. Thank you Bill.
And you may find yourself complaining about one of the most innovative songs of the 80s....
Same as it ever was.
(discalmer: I don't enjoy this song to much)
I thougt about this innovation, I love innovation in music, I listen to alot of experimental music from recent years, I see it as creativity and art to inspire other people and artists.
This song pushed the limits of music in the 80s. But the song maybe does not age so well. So it is harder to get in if you where not there in the 80s.
If you had ever been to a TH concert, I don't think you'd say "David Byrne's inflated ego".
IDK, Weymouth was at all the concerts, and she seems to think Byrne has a MASSIVE ego. ;)
Or take this lovely quote from their drummer: “It’s like he can’t help himself,” Frantz said in a phone interview. “His brain is wired in such a way that he doesn’t know where he ends and other people begin. He can’t imagine that anyone else would be important.”
But so many artists seem like this. We can't throw away the art of every self-absorbed artist, or what would even be left?

Yup. That's definitely what he's saying and not just what I'm feeling.

Too funny.
If you had ever been to a TH concert, I don't think you'd say "David Byrne's inflated ego". I saw them twice, and both times they all, and especially David, played their asses off, drenched in sweat and dropping more clothing as the evening progressed (and we danced our asses off). They left it ALL on the stage in their long sets, which means to me that they deeply respect their fans, and did everything they could to give us our money's worth and more. Very hard to see that as arrogant.
The "Big Suit Tour" was my absolutely favorite concert in the 80's

Water FOR DIVING,
And water removed.
Frankly I think I like that better, but it's still a 10.
The genius of the Big Suit. How does one make their presence on stage bigger than life? Get a suit 3X too big!

SUCH a perfect
song except it always annoyed me that Byrne clips the last word off of
each line in the chorus, such as "ground". Why didn't he just record
vocal tracks for the lines separately so he didn't have to cut the word
short to get a breath before the next line? It is a studio album after
all, and an elaborately recorded one. I always wondered about that
decision.

You may be irritated or annoyed by it but, this was undoubtedly artistic decision made for the song. It is intentional. If you read the Wiki on the song, you will see that everything about the recording of Once In A Lifetime was considered in great detail.
Average rating 8.1. Looks like you'll be puking all by your little ol' self. Hope you've got a bucket.
And nobody to hold back your hair. Sad....
cool, the link is still working!

Yeah, I can't figure that out. Everyone else must be hearing a different song than I am. But that is why PSD (and the other RP mixes) were invented.
Agreed. Most irritating.
Blimey : )
THIS is fantastic!!!
While I'm sure you're not alone with your distaste for TH/DB, I will up my current 9 rating to a 10 to help make up for your misdeeds! LOL...really though to each their own...and LONG LIVE RP!!

Was in School in NYC that year (1980). This song takes me back.
In my book it's a big big 10, but still.
Don't blame the song because of main stream radio. I learned along time ago to shut songs down I don't want to get over cooked.
I'll second that. A VERY long rest!
Nice! And a 9 hear as well. In addition to being oddly brilliant, this is the first video I remember seeing on MTV at my friend's house when his was the first home in the neighborhood to have C A B L E. Whoa....
Same as it ever was. Play Something Different.
Bah! Great tune. Just enjoy it!
ROFL

It certainly is. One of the very few reason for me to keep clicking PSD is the absolute overrepresentation of Talking Heads...
476 is "very few"?
Clearly time to get some sleep.
Same as it ever was
Because like Wonder Bread it helps you grow strong bodies 12 ways?
An average band more interested in making fashion statements than making great songs. Why so much on RP?
What's next: Bon Jovi?
<Yawn>
Next, on your daily troll.....
