Pulled Up Songtext
von Talking Heads

Mommy, daddy, come and look at me now
I′m a big man in a great big town
Years ago, who would believe it's true
Goes to show what a little faith can do

I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now ′cause you pulled me up
Pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up

I slipped and I got pulled, pulled up
I tripped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
I slipped and I got pulled, pulled up
I slipped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up

Pulled me up-up, pulled me up-up-up
Pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up

I drift away to another land
Sleeping, dreaming, such a simple thing
I think of things that I might be
I see my namе go down in history


I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled mе up
Pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up

I slipped and I got pulled, pulled up
I tripped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
I tripped and I got pulled, pulled up
I slipped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up

Pulled me up-up, pulled me up-up-up
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up

I got up 'cause you pulled me up
I stood up ′cause you pulled me up
I got up and that was because you pulled me up
I got up in a little while, you pulled me up

Up, pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up
Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up
Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

I cast a shadow on the living room wall
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
Keep that wonderful food on the table
There′s really no hurry, I'll eat in a while


I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now ′cause you pulled me up
Pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up

I slipped and I got pulled, pulled up
I tripped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up
I slipped and I got pulled, pulled up
I slipped, and then you pulled, you pulled me up

Pulled me up-up, pulled me up-up-up, oh, I got
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-yeah
Pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

You pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Pulled me up-up-up-up, up-up-up-up
