I was just a broken head I stole the world that others punctured Now I stumble through the garbage Slide and tumble, slide and stumble Beak and claw, remorse reminder Slide and tumble, slide and stumble Back and forth and back to nothing Keep them tidy, keep them humble Chop and change to cut the corners Sharp as razors, shiny razors Stranded on a world that's dying Never moving, hardly trying I was just a broken head I stole the world that others plundered Now I stumble through the garbage Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
I got this when i was 18 in 1978. Eno owes the German electronic pioneers big time.
same here import, at 15
I got it when I was 4.
I was just a broken head
I stole the world that others punctured
Now I stumble through the garbage
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
Beak and claw, remorse reminder
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
Back and forth and back to nothing
Keep them tidy, keep them humble
Chop and change to cut the corners
Sharp as razors, shiny razors
Stranded on a world that's dying
Never moving, hardly trying
I was just a broken head
I stole the world that others plundered
Now I stumble through the garbage
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
I appreciate you
Chop the change
Dark, threatening, ominous, moody, great!
Extremely trippy
It got this Samuel Beckett vibe.Totally UNIQUE music.
one of the best songs ever
Lyrics top notch
Apparently Eno had a car crash. When he entered the hospital, he was literally holding his head together!!
really? I remember the chapter in Rushdie's book where he went through the windshield. I had no idea it was based on something real.
'Blank Frank' takes a holiday...

Released April 1978
Recorded June 1977
please correct this date error (2017!) this album is 45 years old.
I think it's a reissue date.
Thank you for posting this
Should have been a single
Rings back some quietly inventive parties
Awesome!
Magnificent
¡Buenísima!
Reminds me of the music from the movie. "Liquid Sky"
Very similar to late Ultravox and early John Foxx.
And vice versa
I wrote to Sky Records. They replied.
Best. Song. Evah
