All of the songs performed in the film are superior to those on the albums, but the unquestionable highlight for me is "This Must Be The Place". David Byrne has a gift for tackling conventional topics without resorting to cliché, and this is the best example of it.

Pick me up and turn me 'round.

The less we say about it the better,
Make it up as we go along.
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong
