David Byrne - Like Humans Do Lyrics






For millions of years,
In millions of homes
A man loved a woman,
A child it was born
It learned how to hurt
And it learned how to cry
Like Humans Do

I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs

I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do
[x2]

I work & I sleep & I dance & I'm dead
I'm eatin, I'm laughin' & I'm lovin' myself
We're eatin' off plates and we kiss with our tongues
Like Humans Do

I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs

I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do
[x2]

I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs

I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do
[x2]

I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip Inside this funky house
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pourin in on a woman & a man

I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out Ooh

    This song got a whole different meaning from me when I found out that I was on the spectrum and realized that I have been aching and shaking and breaking like humans do but always felt inadequate about it.

    i.... ....

    David Byrne is actually on the spectrum too. He's self diagnosed himself with Asperger's

    i.... ....

    @spellgirlkittys I did not know that! That's very interesting. :)

    Highway Blues is better.

    So much nostalgia between these two songs though. Man... I had the internet, but this was before I really cared to even explore the internet much. I had enough fun just on the computer itself. Man.... So much nostalgia. I wish I could go back to my childhood.

  53. J.... /....

    I actually like this song better than all Talking Heads songs. LOL made in Windows Movie Maker That's the clincher.

  54. j.... ....

    Haha I thought this was a song that my Older sister downloaded at first, which confused me because I was like this wasn't the type of music she would listen to. I danced to this song so happily with the mp3 player I had at the time. Eventually I wondered about this song. A simple google search later I found out that this song was already on XP when you buy it.

  55. S.... -....

    my favorite song first

  56. M.... ....

    this song was probably just uploaded straight from the media player folder on the uploaders computer back in the day

  57. M.... ....

    Wait, why didn't I have this back then

  58. S.... B....

    2019 still ahha

  59. B.... ....

    Мне было 12, XP, ностальгия.)

  60. S.... R....

    So, ahn, why does everyone talks about this music and windows xp?

    S.... R....

    It's part of our childhoods.

  61. G.... C....

    This being made in Windows Movie Maker makes it feel like an instant nostalgia cult classic, truly a period piece! Sir, I salute you!

  62. B.... L....

    I used to listen to this so much on windows XP so much in high school

  63. M.... ....

    I don't miss the goddamn (had to get it fixed constantly) WINDOWS XP even a second but I just had to look this song up, like everybody else here 🤣😂😁

  64. W.... N....

    He has a very unique 'true stories' voice ^_^

  65. L.... L....

    I miss Windows XP/2001...that era felt so bright and awesome and promising and exciting. I was happy during the early 2000's...I can't say the same about modern day and times.

  66. T.... ....

    I don't remember this coming with XP. I just remember there being a Beethoven song and that's it.

  67. B.... B....

    I'm achin' 
    I'm shakin' 
    I'm breakin' 
    Like humans do

  68. N.... B....

    ohhh Windows XP Baby I Miss You Good Old Days Golden Era.

  69. L.... C....

    Back in the day, I had some bike racing demo I got out of a cereal box. I would loop this track and the only racing track on that demo on my Windows XP. For hours. Because that's what you do when you're in middle school, it's summer and you have no internet or friends.

  86. C.... P....

    Anyone remember this on the Windows 95 Companion CD Sampler:
    MAIN.WAV

    https://youtu.be/ggXUGmhPEj8

  87. V.... H....

  88. H.... S....

    Listen to this with the media player headspace skin, life was good.

  89. A.... S....

    Jajaja la canción de mi primer computadora

  90. V.... V....

    Anyone here NOT because of Windows XP?

  91. C.... S....

    Fuck i love this song from windows xp

  92. r.... ....

    This being a stock track on the Windows XP Media Player is the only reason I know the name of David Byrne.

  93. s.... ....

    I put my headphones with this song blasting on while writing up my college project. I'd unconsciously sing out "i'm aching i'm shaking i'm breaking like humans do" at the top of my lungs while my housemate would laugh at me. Good times.

  94. E.... Y....

    Jul 5, 2006

  95. R.... T....

    I didn't know he was the singer of Talking Heads!!! Cool!

  96. D.... M....

    Computer lab 2007:
    Professor: ok guys please work on your computer lab work
    Me: puts on ears phones and listen to this song like humans do

  97. Y.... d....

    I vividly remember this song. Best song and Microsoft OS ever.

  98. D.... ....

    Making a sick slideshow on Windows Movie Maker and then putting this banger over the top was what it was all about!
