When I was young my dad would say
Come on son let's go out and play

No matter how hard I try
No matter how many tears I cry
No matter how many years go by
I still can't say goodbye
- "I Still Can't Say Goodbye," Performer: Chet Atkins

No tenderness
No holiness
No sensitivity
No love
No heart
No imagination
No compassion.
No talking, just head
I cannot be dead
I will be in your head
You will be on your knees
You'll be beggin' me, "Please...
Make it stop!"
No peace of mind
No serenity
No mercy mild
No divinity
You will give them no quarter
No inspiration
Isolation.
No talking, just head
That's what I said
I will be in your head
And you'll be down on your knees
Beggin' me, "Please..."
Sometimes I feel...Sometimes I feel like a motherless child...
Grease it up good
Work it back and forth
You don't even know who I am!
Think of the good things
Remember the bad
No illusions.
No talking, just head
I cannot be dead!
When you pull the switch
I will be in your head
Greasin' it up good.
No talking, just head
You've been misled
I will be in your head
Workin' it back and forth
Like I knew that I would.
Give 'em no tenderness
No compassion
No sensitivity
No love
No holiness
No spirituality
No imagination
No heart
No divinity
No charity
No mercy
No hope
No karma
No devotion
No immortality
No soul
No talking, just head
I cannot be dead!
I will be in your head
You'll be down on your knees
And you'll be beggin' me, "Please...
Make it stop!"
- "No Talking, Just Head," The Heads, Album: No Talking, Just Head, 1996
