Lou Reed - Temporary Thing

[thedantefontana]

One of the very best songs about drug addiction. Great musical storytelling from a master composer and songwriter.

MY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

[mowgly3000]

lyrics correction: .."bitch get off my case" not "get of my kids"

[SeriousVoyager]

Your Mother,

Your father,

your brother,

I guess they wouldn't agree with me

but I don't give two shits, there no better than me

...we've all been there...hahaha!

[gabblerachett]

i remember lou saying that this song was about some friends of his doing hard drugs they would just tell him its just a temorary thing

[venisfurs]

great song!

[daveysheens]

I know all the lyrics say ' Hey now bitch, now baby, you better make your face get out of here quick' but Im pretty sure Lou sings 'You better pack your bags get out of here quick'  Anybody else agree? Fantastic song though whatever he says

[888edward888]

you are right, allo, i always assumed those were the lyrics, maybe wrong lyrics on here

[hahasaidthecar]

I do..it's definitely "pack your bags." I know I would...bloody hell. Is this about an abusive relationship? It sounds like it...the saxophone going: "dooh dah,dooh dah, dooh dah" in the background sounds like a pitiless observer to violence, like on "Oh Jim."

[JasonJarvis88]

This is a damn good song,from an underrated album

[jakesault]

[saintparakeet]

Bravo!

[DufreidH]

Buena cancion de lou

pero la mejor sin duda " Baby FAce "

[8mmkurz]

The whole damn LP was overlooked. A great record. Temporary Thing is a classic. Is there a version of the R&RH track from the album downloaded somewhere? Ditto Vicious Circle?

[lonelyboy03]

Would you put up "Dirt" off of Street Hassle if you have it. Appreciated.

[ireallyhatejesus]

done.

[lonelyboy03]

thanks a lot. :D!

[Silentstep66]

so awesome... but i know its just a temporary thing

[luardeverao]

this isn't a temporary song,as Lou is not a temporary rocker.........
