What’s Your Theme Song?
This Must Be the Place
Talking Heads
Mitchell Marriott
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, burn with a weak heart
Guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It’s okay, I know nothing’s wrong,
nothing
I got plenty of time
You got light in your eyes
And you’re standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say
goodnight
This must be
the place
“ T
he best part of every day Is going home to my wife and
children. The feeling of comfort when I get to be with them
is captured in this song for me. It’s home.
They are the foundation of why I go out into the world. The most
important objective for me to accomplish is for our home to be happy,
healthy and full of love. I f eel warm and good when I hold them in my
arms.”
—Mitchell Marriott
Home is where I want to be
But I guess I’m already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can’t tell one from the other
I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I’ll be,
where I’ll be
We drift in and out
Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I’m just an animal looking for a home
And share the same space for a minute
or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me ‘til I’m dead
Eyes that light up
Eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head
