"Don't leave me standing here, I can't get used to this lifestyle"
This is the last line to one of my favorite Talking Heads songs. It's an exploration of a return to nature and the whole deal being rather disappointing. Sometimes I wonder if the quotes on the wall are merely lines taken out of context or taken from context with the rest of the song in mind.

Were the also perhaps grappling with the balance of urban comforts and nature? The happy nature of this song along with its discontentment in Eden is clearly an entrancing piece of work..Nothing But Flowers, by The Talking Heads
While looking for the song on YouTube, I came across a mockumentary inspired by this song as well.
If you have 10 more minutes to kill online, this is well worth it;

Bowie on the wall
The Kaufman's wall has many snippets of song lyrics. It's fascinating to see what bits of songs that have grasped at people who wish to re-count them in out of context places. These are the songs that keep you going, that echo in your brain, this is when you know Bowie truly knows my pain...

The Kaufman's Wall
In downtown Berkeley, a small theater company set up its abode in what used to be Sheaf Bakery and Kaufman's Fabric warehouse. The workers left a long hallway of scrawl that the theater decided to keep. I've fallen in love with the wall and hope to document it all...
