What's your favourite Lou Reed lyric/quote?

You know, some people got no choice
And they can never find a voice
To talk with that they can even call their own
So the first thing that they see
That allows them the right to be
Why they follow it
You know, it's called bad luck

they´re taking the children away
because they say she´s not a good mother

i have my own voice you dumb you idiot moron you are probably just old

I´ll take Manhattan in a garbage bag with latin written on it that says it´s hard to give a shit these days
Manhattan's sinking like a rock, into the filthy Hudson what a shock
they wrote a book about it, they said it was like ancient Rome

Well, the coal black sea waits for me, me, me
The coal black sea waits forever
The waves hit the shore
Crying more, more, more
But the coal black sea waits forever
The tornados come up the coast; they run
Hurricanes rip the sky forever
Though the weathers change
The sea remains the same
The coal black sea waits forever
There are ashes split through collective guilt
People rest at sea forever
Since they burnt you up
Collect you in a cup
For you the coal black sea has no terror
Will your ashes float like some foreign boat
Or will they sink absorbed forever?
Will the Atlantic coast
Have its final boast?
Nothing else contained you ever
Now the coal black sea waits for me, me, me
The coal black sea waits forever
When I leave this joint
At some further point
The same coal black sea will it be waiting

I'm set free to find a new illusion

Don't you know things always look ugly
To me they always look the same

"im dead now"
-lou reed

But anyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
They wouldn't turn around and hate it

Loaded is a good album

Yes it is. Only pseuds don't like Loaded.

I che che, che che I
Che che che, ka tah koh

Choose to choose, choose to go

"________" Metal Machine Music

based

Americans don't care too much for beauty
They'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
and complain if they can't swim
They say things are done for the majority
Don't believe half of what you see
and none of what you hear
It's a lot like what my painter friend Donald said to me
"Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"

>New Yorkers are the entire country
You needed to get out and travel more, Lou.

Transformer [RCA Victor, 1972]
All that's left of this great singer and songwriter is his sly intelligence, and sometimes I'm not so sure about that. Whether this is scenemaking music or anti-scenemaking music doesn't matter--it's effete, ingrown, stripped to inessentials. First line of strongest song: "Vicious, you hit me with a flower." B-

"fuckin faggot"

Down in the depot out by the meat rack
Down by the tunnels surrounding the jail
Prisoners are marching in squares and in circles
They're heading for the finish line
They're lining up for Noah's Ark
They're stabbing each other in the dark
Saluting a flag made of some rich guy's socks
Heading for the finish line

I'm not being smart or trying to be cold on my part
And I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve
But you know people get all emotional
And sometimes man they just don't act rationally
Oh, they think they're just on TV

I wanna be black

sex with your parents

I would cut my legs and tits off
When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski

Based

As you pass through the fire, your right hand waving
There are things you have to throw out
That caustic dread inside your head
Will never help you out

You have to be very strong, 'cause you'll start from zero
Over and over again
And as the smoke clears there's an all consuming fire
Lyin' straight ahead

>First line of strongest song: "Vicious, you hit me with a flower."
I guess the guitar tone is kind of cool.

ding dong lmao

keked and checked and remembered

it really helped me through depression:

>Watch out, the world's behind you
>There's always someone around you who will call
>It's nothing at all

Pull me up
Would you be my lord and savior
Pull me up by my hair
Now would you kiss me, on my lips

Lulu is his best album.
