John Cale Darling I Need You - Live in France

John Cale - Live in France 1995 - song for his ex-wife Cynthia Wells from album Slow Dazzle

Darling I Need You

Woke up early this morning
Something wrong inside my head
Took a look around for breakfast
First thing I see is youre not there

So where were you, where were you?
Where were you, when I needed you?
Where were you, where were you?
When I needed you to see me through?

Oh something wrong, now whats gone wrong here
Looked in the mirror, broken white
Lucky to be alive and kicking
Kicking a lot of life around here

But where were you, where were you?
Yeah, where were you when I needed you?
Where were you, where were you?
When I needed you to see me through?

Ah, cause darling darling I need you
Yeah, darling darling I do
Darling darling I need you
Yes you know I do

Shefton brought me the message
Said you got out at galveston
Church of christ jesus, kentucky
Rattlesnakes and strychnine and prayer

So, where were you, where were you?
Yeah, where were you when I needed you?
Where were you, where were you?
When I needed you to see me through

Oh darling darling I need you
cause darling darling I do
Oh, darling darling I need you
Yes you know I do
Oh, yeah yeah yeah you know I do

Cale is so good live. I know it's silly to compare, but he performs live a million times better than Reed does.

Fact!

I think this is the first time I´ve seen Cale perform this song live. I´ve seen Cale more than 20x live, but maybe my memory is blurred after so many gigs.

Anyway, great performance!

You´ve seen Cale live for 20x times? Oh THAT´S GREAT!

Wow, some performance! This song was sent to radio stations in 1974, as trailer/promo for Slow Dazzle and to try to get John Cale a chart hit. It'd have been unlikely to get one with songs like Guts: "The bugger in the short sleeves fucked my wife/did it quick and split..."!!! Thanks for the post!
