Текст, перевод и аккорды “A Dream”
- Words and music: lou reed & john cale It was a very cold clear fall night I had a terrible dream Billy name and brigid were playing under my stair case on the second floor about two oclock in the morning I woke up because amos and archie had started barking That made me very angry because I wasnt feeling well and I told them I was very cross the real me that they just better remember what happened to sam the bad cat that was left at home and got s Nd went pussy heaven It was a very cold clear fall night Some snowflakes were falling Gee, it was so beautiful And so I went to get my camera to take some pictures And then I was taking the pictures But the exposure thing wasnt right And I was going to call fred or gerry To find out how to get set it I was too late And then I remembered they were still probably at dinner And anyway I felt really bad and didnt want to talk to anybody But the snowflakes were so beautiful and real looking And I really wanted to hold them And thats when I heard the voices From down the hall near the stairs So I got a flashlight And I was scared and I went out into the hallway Theres been all kinds of troubles Lately in the neighborhood And someones got to bring home the bacon and anyway There were brigid and billy playing And under the stair case Was a little meadow sort of like the park at 23rd street Where all the young kids go and play frisbee Gee, that must be fun Maybe we should do an article on that in the magazine But theyll just tell me Im stupid and it wont sell But Ill just hold my ground this time, I mean Its my magazine, isnt it? So I was thinking that as the snowflakes fell And I heard those voices having so much fun Gee, it would be so great to have some fun So I called billy But either he didnt hear me or he didnt want to answer Which was so strange Because Even if I dont like reunions Ive always loved billy Im so glad hes working I mean its different than ondine He keeps touring with those movies And he doesnt even pay us and the film I mean the films just going to disintegrate and then what I mean hes so normal off of drugs I just dont get it And then I saw john cale Hes been looking really great Hes been coming by the office to exercise with me Ronnie said I have a muscle But hes been really mean since he went to aa I mean what does it mean When you give up drinking and then youre still so mean He says Im being lazy but Im not Im just cant find any ideas I mean Im just not Lets face it Going to get any ideas up at the office And seeing john made me think of the velvets And I had been thinking about them When I was on st. marks place Going to that new gallery those sweet new kids have opened But the thought I was old And then I saw the old dom The old club where we did our first shows It was so great And I dont understand about that velvets first album I mean I did the cover I was the producer And I always see it repackaged And Ive never gotten a penny from it How could that be I should call henry But it was good seeing john I did a cover for him But I did in black and white and he change it to color It would have been worth more if hed left it my way But you can never tell any body anything Ive leaned that I tried calling again to billy and john They wouldnt recognize me it was like I wasnt there Why wont they let me in And then I saw lou Im so mad at him Lou reed got married and didnt invite me I mean is it because he thought Id bring too many people I dont get it Could have at least called I mean hes doing so great Why doesnt he call me? I saw him at the mtv show And he was one row away and he didnt even say hello I dont get it You know I hate lou I really do He wont even hire us for his videos And I was proud of him I was so scared today There was blood leaking thought my shirt From those old scars from being shot And the corset I wear to keep my insides in was hurting And I did three sets of fifteen pushups And four sets of ten setups But then my insides hurt And I saw drops of blood on my shirt and I remember The doctors saying I was dead And then later they had to take blood out of my hand couse they ran out or veins But then All this thinking was making me an old grouch And you cant do anything anyway so If they wouldnt let me play with them in my own dream I was just going to have to make another And another And another Gee, wouldnt it be funny if I died in this dream Before I could make another one up And nobody called And nobody came
