Nico's 1967 album Chelsea Girl includes a track entitled "Eulogy to Lenny Bruce", written by Tim Hardin. In it she describes her sorrow and anger at Bruce's death.
I've lost a friend
And I don't know why
But never again
Will we get together to die.
And why after every last shot
Was there always another ?
Why after all you hadn't got
Did you leave your life to your mother ?
And Honey Harlow
The singer burlesque queen
How did she know
You needed morphine ?
Why didn't you listen
To the warning words of your friends
While they told you so ?
I know you couldn't listen
To people talk about
What they didn't know.
I've lost a friend
And I don't know why
But never again
Will we get together to die.
And why after every last shot
Was there always another ?
Why after all you hadn't got
Did you leave your life to your mother ?

how would any one know what Lenny would like when this song came out a year after his death in 1966 . so vivascargill your point is a moot one .
i would have to say i liked the song i know how the singer feels . the sorrow and the anger. not quite understanding what is going .

I think this might be the loneliest song ever recorded - Lou Reed's metronomic guitar backing to Nico's desolate vocal and lyrics like, "never again will we get together to die" and "why, after every last shot was there always another?" Chilling and so, so sad.
