In addition to his acclaimed latest album Who Is The Sky?, with which he is now touring to rave reviews, the former Talking Heads frontman releases a new, catchy electro-pop, humorous but pointed political number co-written with old friend and collaborator Brian Eno, and out now on Matador Records. The accompanying video includes a variety of witty and poignant t-shirt messages and phrases.

My beliefs are on this t-shirt
My religion's in my pants
My condition's on this iPhone
Everyone does what they want
I believe in helping others
I will sing my freedom song
I donate to worthy causes
I go along to get along
Sing my t-shirt, take it off
Dance these shoes until we drop
In this land of milk and honey
In this future, bright and gay
Though the shirt is old and saggy
And its words will fade away
Simple things, a line or two
Succinct and clear, a kind of truth
No pretension, no deep intent
There's no mistaking what I meant
Sing my t-shirt, take it off
Dance these shoes until we drop
Look at my shirt, my love
It's the only way that I can talk to you
It's faded and torn
Misshapen and worn
But listen to my shirt
'Cause every single pre-shirt word is true
Sing my t-shirt, take it off
Dance these shoes until we drop …
David Byrne - an unmissable live performer
