1a canzone al giorno

Il lato selvaggio di Lou

Fine settimana all'insegna della buona musica cult. L'idea è nata dalla canzone che ci sarà domani che ha, in comune con la canzone di oggi, il cantante. Ma veniamo al brano del giorno. Si intitola "Walk on the wild side" è del 1972 ed è cantata da Lou Reed nell'album "Transformer". Se l'immagine che ho trovato dice il vero pare che fosse il lato A del 45 giri che aveva sulla seconda facciata quel capolavoro che è "Perfect Day". Buon sabato!!

Walk on the wild side (Lou Reed)

Holly came from Miami FLA 
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA. 
Plucked her eyebrows on the way 
Shaved her leg and then he was a she 
She said, 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 everybody's darling, 
But she never lost her head 
Even when she was given head 
She said, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side 
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side 
And the coloured girls go, 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 honey, take a walk on the wild side 

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 ...
