Andy's Chest - The Velvet Underground

If I could be anything in the world that flew
I would be a bat and come swooping after you
And if the last time you were here things were a bit askew

Well you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts
And all the missionaries lose their bark
Oh, all the trees are calling after you
And all the venom snipers after you
Are all the mountains bolder after you?

If I could be anyone of the things in this world that bite
Instead of an ocelot on a leash, I'd rather be a kite
And be tied to the end of your string
And flying in the air, babe, at night
Cause ou know what they say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You have a hairy minded pink bare bear

And all the balls are rolling out for you
And stones are all erupting out for you
And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you

Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff were grooving on the street
And just like in a movie, her hands became her feet
Her belly button was her mouth
Wich meant she tasted what she'd speak

But the funny thing is what happened to her nose
It grew until it reached all of her toes
Now when people say her feet they mean her nose

And curtains laced with diamonds dear for you
And all the Roman Noblemen for you
And kingdom's Christian Sailors dear for you
And melting ice cap mountain tops for you
And knights in flamming silver robes for you
And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you
Swoop, Swoop
oh baby,
Rock Rock
Swoop, Swoop, Rock, Rock

Correction:

"Now when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose"........

"And kingdom's Christian Sailors dear to you".

Both in these and Transformer lyrics for Andy's Chest.

Thx!

[Nguli34689]

You're welcome. This was NOT a negative criticism. I wanted to make a small correction for the sake of this interesting number. I like the V.U. and Lou Reed's musicianship.

[shakehamlet]

Yes!! I understand.. I appreciate your love for V.U and Lou Reed.. it's the same of mine!! And it's a pleasure to correct the lirycs.. thx again!

:)

The base line sounds like a donkey kong video game :)

Lovely!

[nimrodbychoice]

this is one of those songs I want to sing to my future kids before bed :)

[pacdaM81]

Is this better than Reed's Transformer version? It's one of those questions I don't even care to engage, both are remarkable if you ask me.

[TomThumbsBlues1965]

@HaYourSelf good music

[coldethyl86]

I think I prefer the transformer version...this is good though, sounds like Elvis on acid.

[rafstubeID]

lou reed/transformer version > this version

[HaYourSelf]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!

[ittspitts]

If I could be any one of the things in the world that bite

Instead of a dentured ocelot on a leash i'd rather be a kite

And be tied to the end of your string, flying in the air at night

Genius
