Byrne, David - Gasoline And Dirty Sheets Lyrics
Someone in a dangerous place
Someone got lost somewhere
Many people are locked outside
Many people lost out there
Many people they pay no mind
Many people they leave this place
And many people are freed of time
Well now this man he could be king
This woman she's the royalty
This woman she's brave and strong
She's got no name but she is family
Gasoline and dirty sheets
She says that freedom costs too much
She says the mind is not place
This situation drags me down
They form a country in my house
On the stage and in the street
I will be a human being
I will come down off the stage
The marketplace and the shopping mall
Into the house, the rooms of war
Look at me now and recall
Vacuum-packed don't rock my world
And the money back guarantee don't make my day
And no feeling of security
They say the answer's one click away
Gasoline and dirty sheets
Politics and a painted face
She says that freedom costs too much
She says the mind is not place
Gasoline and dirty sheets
Politics and a painted face
She says that freedom costs too much
She says the mind is not place

Byrne, David Gasoline And Dirty Sheets Comments
I ❤️ DB
Channeling (Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen?) Can’t wait for Boston show!
grande persona
This song is genius, as always David Byrne
Love it!
Are there any songs worth listening to on this album?
All of them
Just awful.The 30 yr+ decline continues.Primary school Virtue Signalling, lazily sung.DB was excellent on everything he did up to 1985, then.......
Briefly 'Awakening' on X Press 2's Lazy, then back to this type of guff.Hugely disappointing, hugely........
I heard this on the radio and was reminded of the talking heads. Looked the song up and now I know why. Digging it.
This album is meant to be heard through headphones..............................
Damn, its sweet in headphones.
Kinda sounds like David has borrowed some background noise tracks from Bjork
Thanks Dave, for a fresh classic album
I am continuously amazed at these older artists like him, Tom Waits, etc continuously making new content and getting better at that!!!!
Yes I agree bro, but we're the youngens!!!!!!
I wish he would do this song on his tour, but so far he isnt
as he been listening to radioheads kid a again
Can't wait to see him perform tonight! :-)
The Gasoline and Dirty Sheets are going to be used for Burning Down The House.
thats Byrning down the house, my friend !
People used to use gasoline to clean fabric, which caused a few catastrophes when clothes dryers were introduced to the home market. If you check, your dryer's owners' manual probably still has a stern warning not to put fabric in it that's been treated with gasoline. You go back 60 years or so, and the past is a different country.
History is so interesting. That kind of tid bit of info is something not a lot of folks know or even remember
Well scooby my doo and give me a shticker
Fucking Genius. Period.
Fantastic Album
Love you Man 💙💝💜 !!!!
Arte y alegría! David, sos una fuente de inspiración para nos, las cabezas parlantes del universo.
Not huge on the album, but this song is absolutely fantastic. One of my absolute faves of the year thus far!
Agreed, the album is kind of hit and miss but this song is up there with his all time best.
The album's brilliant from beginning to end, IMO.
It is certainly a grower. The live show is just unmissable.
guy coulson I was fortunate enough to see it a few weeks ago and it was amazing.
The baseline kicks it forever ................yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It sounds like a Muzak version for David Byrne - kind of like he is phoning it in. I give the album 2.5 stars out of 5
TopTop!
Love this
Still got it!
David ! <3
So good...I am lost for words.
Daaaavid <3<3<3
You're always a nice surprise.
Here comes the genius \o/
This album is blowing my mind!
Hiddden Hedge ,,,just as Bowies last album...love it~~~
loooove David Byrne
