ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΑΕΙ Ο LOU REED


WALK ON THE WILD SIDE


Holly came from miami f.l.a.
Hitch-hiked her way across the u.s.a.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was a she
She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the island
In the backroom she was everybodys darling

But she never lost her head
Even when she was given head
She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls go

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo…

Little joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay

A hustle here and a hustle there
New york city is the place where they said
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey joe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said, hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was james dean for a day

Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that dash
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls say

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo…

    (απ' το δισκάκι του Lou Reed "New York").


    Pedro lives out of the wilshire hotel
    He looks out a window without glass
    The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
    His father beats him ’cause he’s too tired to beg

    He’s got 9 brothers and sisters
    They’re brought up on their knees
    It’s hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs
    Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
    But that’s a slim chance he’s going to the boulevard

    He’s going to end up, on the dirty boulevard
    He’s going out, to the dirty boulevard
    He’s going down, to the dirty boulevard

    This room cost 2,000 dollars a month
    You can believe it man it’s true
    Somewhere a landlord’s laughing till he wets his pants
    No one here dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
    They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard

    Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I’ll piss on ’em
    That’s what the statue of bigotry says
    Your poor huddled masses, let’s club ’em to death
    And get it over with and just dump ’em on the boulevard

    Get to end up, on the dirty boulevard
    Going out, to the dirty boulevard
    He’s going down, on the dirty boulevard
    Going out

    Outside it’s a bright night
    There’s an opera at lincoln center
    Movie stars arrive by limousine
    The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of manhattan
    But the lights are out on the mean streets

    A small kid stands by the lincoln tunnel
    He’s selling plastic roses for a buck
    The traffic’s backed up to 39th street
    The tv whores are calling the cops out for a suck

    And back at the wilshire, pedro sits there dreaming
    He’s found a book on magic in a garbage can
    He looks at the pictures and stares at the cracked ceiling
    At the count of 3 he says, I hope I can disappear

    And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard
    I want to fly, from dirty boulevard
    I want to fly, from dirty boulevard
    I want to fly-fly-fly-fly, from dirty boulevard

    I want to fly away
    I want to fly
    Fly, fly away
    I want to fly
    Fly-fly away (fly a-)
    Fly-fly-fly (-way, ooohhh...)
    Fly-fly away (I want to fly-fly away)
    Fly away (I want to fly, wow-woh, no, fly away)

    Σαν το καλό παλιό κρασί -τότε στο Λυκαβηττό, μερικά χρόνια μετά απ' αυτό το βιντεάκι, ήταν καόμη καλύτερος... Ωραίο μεταμεσονύκτιο μουσικό background για να διαβάζω για αφράτες μοίρες
