"Land of a Thousand Words" is the second single taken from the American glam rock band, the Scissor Sisters' second album, Ta-Dah. It is the fifth track of Ta-Dah, and it was released on December 4, 2006 in the UK and Ireland. As of the week of January 29, 2007, the single has debuted in various European countries including Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland, Norway and Czech Republic.

Unlike the first release off the album 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin', 'Land of a Thousand Words' is a slow ballad track. The video for the song, directed by Brumby Boylston and Chris Dooley of National Television is an homage to the James Bond film title sequences (in the style of Maurice Binder), featuring all of the band, and the credits for the music video itself.
