Big Country Lyrics by Talking Heads

Big Country

I see the shapes,
I remember from maps.
I see the shoreline.
I see thewhitecaps.
A baseball diamond, nice weather down there.
I see the schooland the houses where the kids are.
Places to park by the fac'tries andbuildings.
Restaunts and bar for later in the evening.
Then we come to thefarmlands, and the undeveloped areas.
And I have learned how these thingswork together.
I see the parkway that passes through them all.
And I havelearned how to look at these things and I say,

[CHORUS]

I wouldn'tlive there if you paid me.
I couldn't live like that, no siree!
I couldn'tdo the things the way those people do.
I couldn't live there if you paid meto.

I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean.
I guess thosepeople have fun with their neighbors and friends.
Look at that kitchen andall of that food.
Look at them eat it' guess it tastes real good.

Theygrow it in the farmlands
And they take it to the stores
They put it in thecar trunk
And they bring it back home
And I say...

[CHORUS]

I say, I wouldn't live there if you paid me.
Icouldn't live like that, no siree!
I couldn't do the things the way thosepeople do.
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to.

I'm tired oflooking out the windows of the airplane
I'm tired of travelling, I want to besomewhere.
It's not even worth talking
About those people downthere.
