Everyone is trying to get to the bar
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven
The band in Heaven, they play my favorite song
They play it once again, they play it all night long
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
There is a party, everyone is there
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun
Yeah, heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
Yeah, heaven
Heaven is a place
A place where nothing
Nothing ever happens
And when this kiss is over, it will start again
Will not be any different, will be exactly the same
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be this much fun
Yeah, heaven

"A song about afterlife tedium". Love it, WIlliam. A brilliant song off a brilliant album.
One of the very best songs from one of the coolest, smartest, wildest bands ever! Makes me smile and sing along, every time... Kevin and I are going to see the masterpiece concert-film Stop Making Sense playing down at the Boulder Theater tonight, Oct. 30, and the party's already started! This is a crazy-good film! I recall Tina really impressing me, and Jerry Harrison taking it absolutely beyond next level with guest keyboardist, Bernie Worrell... I can't wait to Chris and his Tom Tom Club get down super-funky, too! SO MUCH FUN!
This is one of my favorites by the Heads....keep em coming Bill

Wow... my husband, also named James, also lost a brother named John. And he's looking forward to being there with him one day too. They hadn't seen each other for about 30 years (John removed himself from the family in the mid-80s), and then John died, having never reconnected with his family. And my husband finally got to see his brother again, but in a casket. Peace to you, jmsmy.

It's Tina of course. Recently I watched an interview with her. She was asked (maybe a cliched) question: " Was she feeling in any way uncomfortable, being the only female in the band".
She answered: " Not at all. Evolution fitted that women have their eggs secured much deeper in the body, contrary to men. Therefore the latter are much more nervous and anxious, trying to avoid being kicked in between legs".
Way to go Tina!

One of the best song from TH. The lyrics are just genious. I remember listen to this song on the juke box of my favorite bar, years ago. "the Heaven" is a bar with a juke-box.

Compelled to bump this to 10. There are some songs whose lyrics and overall impact tug at my thoughts at the oddest moments. This is one. I really have trouble understanding those who don't see the brilliance of David Byrne, and the band who made this into a sort of historical record of an era though we're still too close to see its impacts.

Feel free to play it all night long.

I like Talking Heads just fine, but *every day*? Same with Beck, Ray Lamontagne, Beck, The War on Drugs, Talking Heads, Beck, Natalie Merchant, Beck, etc. There are only about 280 songs per day - how about more daily artist variety, Bill? I really notice it when I listen at work all day...

Heaven is a place where Talking Heads is played but sparingly. So everyone can sit around and talk about what creative gifts they possessed as a band, not just get all annoyed at stuff like toy pianos and hit the Next Song button.
David Byrne was on Saturday Night Live last week.
Check it out - it was awesome.

Every time I hear David Byrne's bleating, I wonder if it was somehow developed in a secret lab as a weapon or sublime form of torture.
Leave the heavy rotation to the commercial outfits.

The version from Stop Making Sense is sublime.
Everytime I hear David Byrne's voice I smile knowing the consternation it is causing on these boards.
Thanks for keeping him in heavy rotation Bill!

When Talking Heads were great. Something new. We didn't know what Aspergers sounded like, then.
Simply Red brought me here :)
Talking heads really rock out on this song
"the bar is called heaven"
Makes sense to me!
Makes sense to me!
I was too stupid to be a fan of these back in HS in the early 80's....brings back great memories of much simplier times........
Among the first TH songs I ever heard. From when they were hungry, I guess. The earnestness comes through still, though.

Same here....and I'm a rather recent "convert" as a TH fan in the last 7 years or so. The few regular FM tracks are good and all I really knew about the band was that DB was a bit different. So I started listening to their catalog, from the beginning, and WOW I was impressed with how great those 1st 4 albums were, all a little different, and all seemed to get better. For me, "Fear of Music" sealed the deal on my fandom just with the opening track (I Zimbra) and then when I heard this song....well...it was Heaven. PEACE and Long Live RP!!
Really love this song. Never really loved TH or DB. More of a Roxy Music person. Maybe why I love this song.

On the DVD extras to Stop Making Sense, they say that at least superficially it is about a real bar called Heaven. I can't remember where, I always assumed NYC, but London, sure, could be.
Always reminds me of a gay club in 1980's London called Heaven, Not much happened there! The lyrics really fit! Perhaps that was their inspiration?

Absolute originals, in their time.
Almost 40 years, it's hard to imagine that i'm still looking for this lost heaven. The perfect song. And the bass from Tina weymouth...

This is the "straightest" TH song I've heard. Beautifully done.

When this kiss is over we'll start again
Nuffink never happens
It's an amazing place.
BUT wait until they TAKE you - PLEASE don't try to go before.

Every devout Catholic on my mother's side would have hated this song, but I'm sure they've never heard it.
kd lang's version of this tune is definite must-listen to...🎶
Their first few albums have some genius moments. This is horrible.
This hits me with an 8. A thoughtful and direct and lovely piece. That's the kind of TH I like.

when this album came out, it was a welcomed, fresh out-of-the-ordinary sound. Authentic, hardworking art students forming a band...i think this was their 2nd album. Still sounds good!

Well, I must be pretty shallow, because I like this song a lot. Especially the line, "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens." It'd be really fun if Bill would follow this song with "Alleluia" by Dar Williams... "Ron and Nancy got the house, but Sid and Nancy ruled/I died eight years ago; I'm still a legend at my high school/I stole a Chevy and I wrapped it 'round a tree/ That's okay, cause no one's gonna make the next century/I'm up in heaven and they say I'm here to stay/ The clouds are really puffy and the angels sing every day... "The waves are always perfect and the sun it always shines, but there's got to be more to death than surfing all the time..."

But in heaven, wouldn't additional beauty, creativity and selflessness be either impossible or at least superfluous? Sin is nonexistent in heaven, correct? And to think that I, upon entering heaven, could possibly make it better, is at the very least gilding the lily. But really. The bar is called Heaven. Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens. Why did we all of a sudden get all metaphysical?

One of my favorite all time tunes. I LOVE the lyrics. Its how I feel about being in the mountains. Stunning beauty where "nothing ever happens." Timeless landscape, seemingly unchanging.

How I miss when Bill used to play the IceHouse version. So much more musical. I presume it's by intent, but the instruments are out of key here.

What a LOUSY version of a great song. Making it "jangly" and drowning out the lyrics is NOT an improvement. Let's put this back in the attic, and bring back the real version.

Interesting to hear that some folks would rather listen to cover verisions. I'm not slamming covers in general, or of this song in particular, I hope everyone knows that Byrne and Harrison actually wrote it..

What drugs prolly did for others, this album did for me....shook me to my 18-year-old core. 
Life shaping then, and certainly still awe inspiring now.

Just got to see David Byrne perform this song in concert here in ole Memphis and it was fantastic.
