| Talking Heads – Mr. Jones Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Mr. Jones is a very average guy, living a very average life. Even his name is pretty average. Yet every now and again he gets the chance to go out of town, and when he does, and he's surrounded by strangers in a place where nobody knows him and his averageness, he has a chance to see himself as he wants to be seen--as somebody special; a cool, suave, in-demand kind of guy who is adored, admired, needed, and celebrated. You want to cheer on this Walter Mitty-type character as he's strutting his stuff, but at the same time feel kind of embarrassed for his self-delusion. | |
