no, really, i think that's it.

maybe foggy notion
unlikely though

everything else is like "[some girl's name] says"

or hookers
or trannies
or tranny hookers

Good call, Rob - off the same album as "Lady Sniff", as I recall ("Mary, bring me mah bacon...Mary!!"). Also - "Too Parter" ("And all the sailors who were junkies/They went a-sailing out to sea/And the white folks sold Quaaludes to the monkey/And they all got high in the trees)

More Songs: Art Pepper's "Smack Up!" (his autobiography is a sleaze classic).
The original lyrics to Spacemen 3's "Walkin' with Jesus" had explicit references to heroin use...

I'M gonna kick tomorrow.....

(some name) says. ;)

I always thought Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" as a barbed comment on the nature of addiction.

Girl's name refers to drugs. Everything refers to drugs.

oh god

please don't remind me of them

yeah

but that's not the VU is it.

oh of course, how could i have been so naive? :rolleyes:

Somehow this all relates back to a cheating girlfriend.

Nope, tis solo Reed, and not V.U. (I should say yes, on the off-chance that Lou Reed is reading this board, and then goes nuts :D - "That's my song, motherfucker, not Cale's!")

somehow i don't think anyone would notice or take him seriously if they did.

Cheating partner = misery = need to escape = drugs?

Candy, eh? Another one: Jesus & Mary Chain's "Some Candy Talking".
Also - the "Don't Bogart That Joint" song on the "Easy Rider" soundtrack.

I think VU's songs are mostly about Lou rarely having anything to say.

"I want you. But I can't have you. And um. Here's a metaphor for that."

Lou's solo career in the 70's' "I can say anything I want, speed speed, putdown putdown" (from the infamous "fight" interview between Lester Bangs and Lou Reed).

*Cue crappy "Bob Dole relates to drugs. Bob Dole. Bob Dole etc" comment from me (I'll get me coat).

So any word from trasher on his girlfriend problems. I'd like an update.

bob dole likes to talk about viagra. viagra is a drug.

None so far, gmku. Hope he's keeping OK.

Yeah. That is a crappy thing. But I hope he realizes this is only a temporary setback.

Being fucked over in love hurts, but you're right, I bet he'll get his self-confidence back, and soon be back in the game in full effect.

Yeah as Def Leppard said, "Love Bites"....
