A Dream - Lou Reed (卢·里德)/John Cale[00:00:00]
It was a very cold clear fall night[00:00:18]
I had a terrible dream[00:00:23]
Billy name and brigid were playing under my stair case[00:00:28]
On the second floor about two o'clock in the morning[00:00:30]
I woke up[00:00:35]
Because amos and archie had started barking[00:00:36]
That made me very angry[00:00:40]
Because I wasn't feeling well and I told them[00:00:41]
I was very cross the real me[00:00:44]
That they just better remember[00:00:46]
What happened to sam the bad cat[00:00:47]
That was left at home and got sick and went p**sy heaven[00:00:49]
It was a very cold clear fall night[00:00:59]
Some snowflakes were falling[00:01:04]
Gee it was so beautiful[00:01:05]
And so I went to get my camera to take some pictures[00:01:07]
And then I was taking the pictures[00:01:10]
But the exposure thing wasn't right[00:01:12]
And I was going to call fred or gerry[00:01:13]
To find out how to get set it[00:01:15]
I was too late[00:01:17]
And then I remembered they were still probably at dinner[00:01:19]
And anyway[00:01:21]
I felt really bad and didn't want to talk to anybody[00:01:22]
But the snowflakes were so beautiful and real looking[00:01:27]
And I really wanted to hold them[00:01:30]
And that's when I heard the voices[00:01:33]
From down the hall near the stairs[00:01:34]
So I got a flashlight[00:01:38]
And I was scared and I went out into the hallway[00:01:40]
There's been all kinds of troubles[00:01:43]
Lately in the neighborhood[00:01:44]
And someone's got to bring home the bacon and anyway[00:01:46]
There were brigid and billy playing[00:01:48]
And under the stair case[00:01:54]
Was a little meadow sort of like the park at 23rd street[00:01:55]
Where all the young kids go and play frisbee[00:01:58]
Gee that must be fun[00:02:00]
Maybe we should do an article on that in the magazine[00:02:03]
But they'll just tell me I'm stupid and it won't sell[00:02:06]
But I'll hold my ground this time I mean[00:02:09]
It's my magazine isn't it[00:02:11]
So I was thinking that as the snowflakes fell[00:02:24]
And I heard those voices having so much fun[00:02:26]
Gee it would be so great to have some fun[00:02:29]
So I called billy[00:02:32]
But either he didn't hear me or he didn't want to answer[00:02:33]
Which was so strange[00:02:36]
Because[00:02:36]
Even if I don't like reunions I've always loved billy[00:02:37]
I'm so glad he's working[00:02:40]
I mean it's different than ondine[00:02:42]
He keeps touring with those movies[00:02:45]
And he doesn't even pay us and the film[00:02:47]
I mean the film's just going to disintegrate and then what[00:02:48]
I mean he's so normal off of drugs[00:02:52]
I just don't get it[00:02:53]
And then I saw john cale[00:02:59]
He's been looking really great[00:03:01]
He's been coming by the office to exercise with me[00:03:02]
Ronnie said I have a muscle[00:03:05]
But he's been really mean since he went to aa[00:03:06]
I mean what does it mean[00:03:09]
When you give up drinking and then you're still so mean[00:03:10]
He says I'm being lazy but I'm not[00:03:14]
I'm just can't find any ideas[00:03:15]
I mean I'm just not[00:03:18]
Let's face it[00:03:19]
Going to get any ideas up at the office[00:03:20]
And seeing john made me think of the velvets[00:03:25]
I had been thinking about them[00:03:27]
When I was on st marks place[00:03:28]
Going to that new gallery those sweet new kids have opened[00:03:29]
But the thought I was old[00:03:33]
And then I saw the old dom[00:03:34]
The old club where we did our first shows[00:03:35]
It was so great[00:03:38]
I don't understand about that velvet's first album[00:03:40]
I mean I did the cover[00:03:42]
I was the producer[00:03:44]
I always see it repackaged[00:03:45]
I've never gotten a penny from it[00:03:47]
How could that be[00:03:49]
I should call henry[00:03:50]
But it was good seeing john[00:03:52]
I did a cover for him[00:03:53]
But I did in black and white and he change it to color[00:03:55]
It would have been worth more if he'd left it my way[00:03:58]
But you can never tell any body anything I've leaned that[00:04:00]
I tried calling again to billy and john[00:04:07]
They wouldn't recognize me it was like I wasn't there[00:04:10]
Why won't they let me in[00:04:13]
Then I saw lou[00:04:18]
I'm so mad at him[00:04:20]
Lou reed got married and didn't invite me[00:04:22]
I mean is it because he thought I'd bring too many people[00:04:25]
I don't get it[00:04:29]
Could have at least called[00:04:32]
I mean he's doing so great[00:04:33]
Why doesn't he call me[00:04:35]
I saw him at the mtv show[00:04:37]
And he was one row away and he didn't even say hello[00:04:38]
I don't get it[00:04:41]
You know I hate lou[00:04:42]
I really do[00:04:44]
He won't even hire us for his videos[00:04:45]
And I was proud of him[00:04:48]
I was so scared today[00:04:56]
There's blood leaking thought my shirt[00:05:03]
From those old scars from being shot[00:05:05]
And the corset I wear to keep my insides in was hurting[00:05:09]
And I did three sets of fifteen pushups[00:05:13]
Four sets of ten setups[00:05:15]
But then my insides hurt[00:05:18]
And I saw drops of blood on my shirt and I remember[00:05:19]
The doctors saying I was dead[00:05:23]
Then later they had to take blood out of my hand[00:05:29]
'Cause they ran out or veins[00:05:31]
But then[00:05:33]
All this thinking was making me an old grouch[00:05:35]
And you can't do anything anyway so[00:05:37]
If they wouldn't let me play with them in my own dream[00:05:40]
I was just going to have to make another[00:05:43]
And another[00:05:46]
And another[00:05:47]
Gee wouldn't it just be so funny if I died in this dream[00:05:51]
Before I could make another one up[00:05:58]
And nobody called[00:06:09]
And nobody came[00:06:17]
