I've been enjoying the second season of Chuck lately. It's a lot more actioney than the first season, and where the plotline fails, the music makes up for it.
On that note, in Episode 13: Chuck versus The Suburbs, Chuck and Sarah pose as a married couple and move into the suburbs undercover. When they arrive at the "Carmichael residence", the scene is set to the song "Once in a lifetime" by the Talking Heads. The lyrics intrigued me (they're apt if you're having a rather existentialist moment), so I went to find the whole song...
Artist: Talking Heads
Song: Once In A Lifetime
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?
Chorus:
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Chorus 1
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...etc.
Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Chorus 2:
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
Chorus 1
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?
Chorus 2
Chorus 1
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...etc.
