Part of the confusion over the words here is due to the fact that the German word she would have used is "hausmeister" which obviously implies a different cultural meaning.

I heard somewhere that Janitor of lunacy was Nico's nickname for Lou Reed. Sounds about right!

Blimey, she was where Joy Division was just before Curtis topped himself.

[AnEnemy100]

And she kept going.

This song was made by Nico for Brian Jones!

Thanks for posting!

My pleasure.

@Intergalaxy Are you sure? I know that "Abschied" ("Farewell") was dedicated to Brian; but this... I can't believe that this song was written about Jones. "Janitor of lunacy", "Janitor of tyranny"... Is this about Brian?)

PS. Sorry my English, I know it's really bad :)

@RockNimbie

Yes!

@Intergalaxy I know that "Abschied" was made for Brian Jones.... but this one, I'm not so sure. I think the lyrics "don't fit"... ;-) Anyway, this is an amazing song!!!
