from John Cale - Hobosapiens (2003)
It's midnight
and our silver tongued obsessions come at us out of the dark Scrambling to be recognised before tearing themselves apart It's zen and the art of Bollywood Heroes turning on a spit The lovers unable to resolve a pre-historic bitch We don't know the half of it Clever is as clever does His drawn lights sparkling on a merry-go-round Hypnotising everyone on it In zen and the art of forgery we're losing control of light DeLorian, Picasso, Mondre and El Greco some one's gonna pay the price If I didn't know you better than that I'd never let you outta my sight Where is the art of sorcery We wanna be fooled again Staggered by deception charmed into submission Helpless as a deck of cards. It's now the art of reality Calling a spade a spade Facing the obvious A monkey and his grinder But on a different plain. I see you clearly from day to day As clearly as I see tonite. Keep talking said the slow-eyed Mandarin "I've got nothing to say" Meet me on the staircase on your way down We'll see if there's been a mistake In zen and the art of algebra There is no value for time Whatever thrives inside the dark Decays on the outside. |

Andy was a catholic, the ethic ran through his bones
He lived alone with his mother, collecting gossip and toys Every sunday when he went to church He'd kneel in his pew and say, "it's just work, All that matters is work." He was a lot of things, what I remember most He'd say, "I've got to bring home the bacon, someone's got to bring home the roast." He'd get to the factory early If you'd ask him he'd tell you straight out It's just work, the most important thing is work No matter what I did it never seemed enough He said I was lazy, I said I was young He said, "how many songs did you write?" I'd written zero, I'd lied and said, "ten." "You won't be young forever You should have written fifteen." It's work, the most important thing is work It's work, the most important thing is work "you ought to make things big People like it that way And the songs with the dirty words ? record them that way" Andy liked to stir up trouble, he was funny that way He said, "it's just work, all that matters is work" Andy sat down to talk one day He said decide what you want Do you want to expand your parameters Or play museums like some dilettante I fired him on the spot, he got red and called me a rat It was the worst word that he could think of And I've never seen him like that It's just work, I thought he said it's just work Work, he said it's just work Andy said a lot of things, I stored them all away in my head Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do I think what would andy have said He'd probably say you think too much That's 'cause there's work that you don't want to do It's work, the most important thing is work Work, the most important thing is work |

She was so afraid of everything she said
Since her mother told her why once upon a time There was no rhyme Before the clock slammed another door Of the weary hours we were facing a second hand shylock Shylocked in, in on us I saw what it had taken Playing back that old brigade of mine Everything was dirty, everything was without rhyme Everything was dirty, everything was without rhyme Cause me and nigger marched Yes, me and nigger blasted our way out Of here just like yesterday Yesterday's streets were burnt down into shells Mothers weep while children sleep Like ancestors in the ground The misery of nuns lie together like sons Who do not have the taste for the battle We are shuffled like a pack of cards in the dead of night Like lovers below Bataan, below the senses Cause the senses smell of tears While we and nigger marched Blasted our way out of here Close the door and let's have some private life |

I wanna know
What you're thinking. There are some things you can't hide. I wanna know What you're feeling. Tell me what's on you mind. Here i am in silence, Looking round without a clue. I find myself along again. All alone with you. I can see behind your eyes, The things that i don't know. If you hide away from me, How can our love grow? I wanna know What you're thinking. There are some things you can't hide. I wanna know What you're feeling. Tell me what's on your mind. I know I could break you down, But what good would it do? I could surely never know That what you say is true. Here i am in silence, It's a game i have to play. You and i in silence. With nothing else to say. I wanna know What you're thinking. There are some things you can't hide. I wanna know What you're feeling. Tell me what's on your mind. I wanna know What you're thinking. There are some things you can't hide. I wanna know What you're feeling. Tell me what's on your mind. I wanna know What you'er thinking. There are some things you can't hide. I wanna know What you're feeling. Tell me what's on your mind. |

Baby, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright. I'm going up, and I'm going down. I'm going from side to side. See the bells, up in the sky, Somebody's cut their string in two.

Oh you think you got a gypsy smile
But it won't get you out of trouble this time All you ever had is the memory And the rose that you keep for company Anyone could have cracked the code Anybody could have cracked that code So touch up your makeup And save up all your pride You once made everyone your lover And I bet you felt just like a bride While they were talking in some foreign tongue You were parading around like a beggar in an iron lung Cause something must be breaking your heart Yes something is breaking your heart That I loved like a vigilante lover That I loved like a vigilante fool The air was heavy over the village square It's not everyday they auction off despair There were voices floating in that country air And secret policemen watching everywhere Anyone could have cracked the code Anyone could have cracked that code I drive a stolen car I got a monkey jar That makes the blood run cold And I see through windows And I hear through walls But nothing you can do can touch me at all But I wouldn't feel so forlorn There must be some saving grace I hear the Rosy Christians have just hit town And they're all heading for your place Cause something is breaking your heart Something is breaking your heart I hope something is I loved you like a vigilante lover I loved you like a vigilante fool |

Hanging with dictators in the south of France
Checking shipments to le Monde Arabe Obsession with detail precision with terms Remember you're speaking from the TZ Your reputation precedes you now you're getting bored No longer into the story of the antique road The milk of human kindness has curdled in your cup You see me staring at it and tell me to shut up Chaucer was to Canterbury what you were to the zone Instead of trying to solve it you left it alone A hangout you could call home Now you're out things aren't going to be the same Now you're out of the Twilight Zone You're feeling unreliable you don't like the same things Manifestly different from where you chose to begin The turnaround is brilliant the execution sublime You found a way to move on leaving nothing behind Now you're out things aren't going to be the same Now you're out of the Twilight Zone |

Living in between the me you A gambler Betting we'll be fine in the end Once in a while you'd be wrong Putting your feelings across Freaking me out in the dark Turn the lights on When you see me coming Turn the lights on When you see me coming Dreaming Seeing things appear in my head Sleeping Listening to what's there in stead Make sure the reason for that isn't the same as the last Foolish thing thing sent from the past Turn the lights on When you see me coming Turn the lights on When you see me coming Turn the lights on Turn the lights on Turn the lights on… When you see me coming… When you see me coming… |

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me I get this feeling I'm in motion A sudden sense of liberty I don't care 'cause I'm not there And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow Again and again I've taken too much Of the things that cost you too much I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun... When I was a very small boy, Very small boys talked to me Now that we've grown up together They're afraid of what they see That's the price that we all pay And the value of destiny comes to nothing I can't tell you where we're going I guess there was just no way of knowing I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun... I feel so extraordinary Something's got a hold on me I get this feeling I'm in motion A sudden sense of liberty The chances are we've gone too far You took my time and you took my money Now I fear you've left me standing In a world that's so demanding I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun My morning sun is the drug that brings me near To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear I used to think that the day would never come That my life would depend on the morning sun... |

That's all he sees, he paints a tree The trouble with a classicist he looks at the sky He doesn't ask why, he just paints a sky The trouble with an impressionist, he looks at a log And he doesn't know who he is, standing, staring, at this log And surrealist memories are too amorphous and proud While those downtown macho painters are just alcoholic The trouble with impressionist is The trouble with impressionist is The trouble with personalities, they're too wrapped up in style It's too personal, they're in love with their own guile They're like illegal aliens trying to make a buck They're driving gypsy cabs but they're thinking like a truck The trouble with personalities is The trouble with personalities is I like the druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains I like their lack of training, their primitive technique I think sometimes it hurts you when you stay too long in school I think sometimes it hurts you when you're afraid to be called a fool The trouble with classicists is The trouble with classicists is |

Some girls got worries

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
Got what I paid for now See ya tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow A couple of bucks from you? To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda You'll go a-waltzing Mathilda with me I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley And tired of all these soldiers here No one speaks English and everything's broken And my Stacys are soaking wet To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda You'll go a-waltzing Mathilda with me Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking A lot they can do for me I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open And I'm down on my knees tonight Old Bushmill's I staggered, you buried the dagger Your silhouette window light To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda You'll go a-waltzing Mathilda with me Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her And the one-armed bandit knows And the maverick Chinaman and the cold-blooded signs And the girls down by the strip-tease shows Go, waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda You'll go a-waltzing Mathilda with me No, I don't want your sympathy The fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories They want a piece of the action anyhow Go, waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda You'll go a-waltzing Mathilda with me And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailor And the old men in wheelchairs know That Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred And she follows wherever you may go Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda You'll go a-waltzing Mathilda with me And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace And a wound that will never heal No prima donna, the perfume is on An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey And goodnight to the street sweepers The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight, Mathilda too |

If you grow tired of the friends you make
In case you mean to say something else Say they were the best of times you ever had The best of times with the thoughtless kind We dress conservatively at the best of times Prefer the shadows to the bright lights in the eyes Of the ones we love, the bright lights in the eyes of the ones we love What we see, what we imagine the eyes tell us nothing The bright lights in the eyes of the one we love will tell you Nothing except that you're the thoughtless kind If you grow tired of the friends you make Never ever turn your back on them Say they were the best of times you ever had The best of times with the thoughtless kind |

A month is a Saturday ? Wednesday's a week I saw the way you looked at her Charlie Brown ? good grief She pulled you into the shadows and taught you how to love Patted you on the head and gave you a shove and you were doing it ? the thing… The sexual exuberance of a concubine Checks my carburettor one more time With the passion of a thoroughbred and the Sensitivity of a moose I rarely make a move Unless I've got some proof that we'll be doing it ? the thing you do in Denver when you're dead. You live in Paris I live in France things are expensive When you live first class ? you learn Latin I'll learn Greek And when you've got a minute we'll meet in Crete And we'll be doing it ? the thing… |

Since the soul of Carmen Miranda had captured the mind of man
Dismissed with her generation for the price of a can-can Consigned to the sideshows of history, with the patronized orphans of film She seeded the bait and offered the faint hope of chance to innocent men In love with the trance of her dances And abandoned by them And abandoned by them She called in the boys She remembered their names, and the sorry condition they came in The dances were soiled, they spun and recoiled From the master tapdancer inside them, beside them The soul of Carmen Miranda had captured the mind of man Dismissed with her generation for the price of a can-can The soul of Carmen Miranda for the price of a can-can The soul of Carmen Miranda for the price of a can-can |

Your mailbox is always empty
And your landlord always complains And you try to forget your past But it's just adding to your pain And it's time for one more cigarette Yes, I slept on your satin pillows They felt like a second skin You needn't have looked so helpless there I was the moth stuck on your pin Sleeping, I am the sleeper Sleeping, I am the sleeper Oh it used to feel so right Everything seemed new I haven't changed It isn't me that's what's wrong with you Sleeping, I am the sleeper The sun came up and you'd come back The door was open wide I should have slammed it in your face I should have shot you in the back That's what Jesus would have done If Satan had come And looked him in the eye and said "You're my kind of guy, why don't you come away with me? Come away with me" Cause I love you, I love ya, I love ya - that's what she said I love ya, love ya I'd rather speak to Satan himself I love you, I love you, I love you I love you, I'm the sleeper |

Pity the poor man, pity the sad man
Pity the green man who couldn't afford to orgy Pity the policeman, pity the snowman Pity the woman who couldn't afford to orgy "Say, Johnny, you're a little lonesome? Oh, come on big boy, let me show you. Mmm, don't you wanna good time?" Good for the postman, good for the con man Good for the milkman, they can afford to orgy Good for the butcher, good for the astronaut Good for the curate, they can afford to orgy "Come on, honey, keep breaking my heart. Ooh, you're breaking my heart." If it's a problem getting together Leave it alone, it's the easiest way Great while it lasts, but it don't last forever Nothing like living real dangerously "Ooh, come on, give yourself a break. Oh, don't worry, baby, you'll get over it. Mmm, you'll get over it." Sorry to hear it, sorry to see it Sorry to mention I couldn't afford to orgy Seems such a bother, one thing, another Tempting and teasing, just for an orgy "Oh no, you have to take a chance. Ah, you've gotta give me one chance anyway. Mmm, you can sure do it. Ah, mmm. C'mon. Mmm." |

I'm inviting you to my vaudeville
"Oui encore" you say, "And on with the show" Ladies, gentlemen, before I sing to you The light that shines twice as bright Burns half as long Come let me entertain you all Leave your troubles big and small Life's a ball, life's a ball Hitch a ride on my crooked merry-go-round Hear the clinking-clanking sound Of the song that I bring Take my song, take my hand, never let me down, Like love let me down, like love pushed me around So long, goodbye, I lost, did try This is the last song I'll ever sing The last song I'll sing I played in the cabaret of love I wore heart, fist and glove. Push and shove, push and shove... And all for love Take my song, take my hand, never let me down, Like love let me down, like love pushed me around So long, goodbye, I lost, did try This is the last song I'll ever sing The last song I'll sing This is the last song I'll ever sing The last song I'll sing Here, with words that can't be said We take songs to our bed Sing-a-long, sing-a-long... to my last song |

Very slowly he sipped his tea, not shifting his glance from the thick double spaced printing he read with his jeweller's eye
Engrossed in his corner, he passed onto the other inhabitants of the room a scrawled insularity of time and space For both passed him by with the speed of light, not unlike the flow of substance, however varied, into that lysergic entity known as the black hole He was hardly ugly for his time, and conversation was certainly not lost on him Drastic measures were called for, and as in antiquity the lonely man was blessed with wisdom to the point of desperation But there in his corner, developing around him like a sun, was a climate of such rare beauty that sight and sound could no longer be considered sufficient food for the senses And he had begun to notice, as his hearing failed, that mind and matter were in no way connected to one other, as if in fact the one could not propose and prove its erotic existence in terms of the other "What does this word mean?" he enquired of the solemn waiter hopefully "Nothing for desert sir", came the reply, "perhaps a cocktail, demitasse or a herbal essence, it helps the breathing you know sometimes". "The bill, if you don't mind", quickly he shot back And as the patter of the feet faded in the room, for he barely heard them now, his eye slowly began to close, and by the time he emerged on the sunny street he was forced to rely entirely on the other eye for help, but happily it continued its many functions, blinking gently for lubrication, and registering images It was rush hour, in Hawaii only 10am So, turning into his street, he stopped at the drug store and bought an eye patch that soon covered the reluctant eye Climbing the stairs he pondered what to do next, he would call a doctor and have tests made, eat nourishing food and if necessary consent to surgery, the last resort of the gambling man And at 1am he awoke from a dream and after fumbling his way in the obolescent light of his room he peered into the rusty veins of his mirror and lifted away the patch What he saw astonished him. Where once was tremulous tissue and membrane was now a follicle and perfectly formed vagina with vulva, overgrown and mysterious, unrevealing and still to the untrained eye But in the deep dark recesses of that sticky occlusion lay the unclosing watchful eye of disgust in its closing moments, lunging forward and hungry for the cold light of days |

The myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate For him to choose What had he to lose Not a ghost bloodied country All covered with sleep Where the black angel did weep Not an old city street in the east Gone to choose And wandering's brother Walked on through the night With his hair in his face On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T. The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn Until we said so long To his skull-shrill yell Shining brightly red-rimmed and Red-lined with the time Infused with the choice of the mind On ice skates scraping chunks From the bells Cut mouth bleeding razor's Forgetting the pain Antiseptic remains cool goodbye So you fly To the cozy brown snow of the east Gone to choose, choose again Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget Where you come from The stools of your eyes Serve to realize fame, choose again And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse For the loss of a horse Went the bowels and a tail of a rat Come again, choose to go And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame Have your head bobbed and weaved Choose a side to be on If the stone glances off Split didactics in two Leave the colors of the mouse trails Don't scream, try between If you choose, if you choose, try to lose For the loss of remain come and start Start the game I che che che che I Che che ka tak koh Choose to choose Choose to choose, choose to go |

There's an end to the road that takes you home
There's a way of life you knew before At the end of the day you will have your rest You'll find a way You'll find a way Don't resist the morning calm It will keep you safe from harm The time will come when help is found You leave behind the things form the past Though the road is long and hard and the path is wide We climb it still and seize the skies It's only a matter of time It's only a matter of time The landscape has changed and the mood has gone Along with the rest we carry on If you take me back in space in time I'll let the journey begin and keep it with mine On this coat of many colours there's a lot of room for others I see in your face the reason why You fell from grace and you cannot find The way from here that leads you back To the place that you know the best And its distance from the rest You tell me why there's a saviour looking on with the weak and the strong, taking us to higher ground |
