I Used To Pretend I Didn't Have Hands

Thank you whoever posts stuff on Wikipdedia.

"(Nothing But) Flowers" is a song by the rock band Talking Heads. It appears on the band's final album and was released as a single accompanied by a successful music video, which featured innovative uses of typography by graphic designer Tibor Kalman.

The lyrics describe a post-apocalyptic world in which modern technology has been largely eliminated, and there is "nothing but flowers." The song's protagonist yearns for the disappeared items of his youth such as lawnmowers and fast food restaurants. David Byrne claims to have written the lyrics while admiring flowers in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
