I went to a velvet underground show in 1969, and it changed my life and it changed my mind I think I’ll buy a denim jacket and I think I’ll pump my veins full of drugs I think I could play rock and roll man I’ll give it a go man I’ll give it a go I saw the pixies in the eighties now I scream everything that I say, and I felt like a monkey I felt like a monkey I think I’ll buy a denim jacket and I think I’ll pump my veins full of drugs I think I could play rock and roll man I’ll give it a go man I’ll give it a go Oh yeah my god it changed my life play the rock n roll play that fucking rock n roll

Joey Ramone 02:05
I’ll never be as punk as Joey Ramone, I’ll never be as punk as Joey Ramone I’ll never be on your mind when you’re sitting on your own I’ll never sing the blues like Louis, I’ll never rock n roll like Lou Reed Walk on the wild side, I’ve seen some shit that’ll make your insides go to the outside but baby I’m alright Are you alright? I knew that you would be And honey won’t you sit down with me and tell me everything that you are, everything that you would be if you could be, anything you wanted to be I’ll never sing the blues like Louis I’ll never rock n roll like Lou Reed I’ll never be as punk as Joey I’ll never be quite what I wanna be I’ll never be quite what I wanna be I’ll never be quite what I wanna be

Lochy 02:01
(Gee, um, I, my hands are trembling) (That’s alright) I wanna snap pretty shit on my Kodak, wanna understand the shit that they say without having a heart attack, and I wanna learn to sing like Francis Black (I gotta broken face, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh ooh!) (Well don’t stop! Play something!) Understand the shit that they say (Not now, later) Nothing intellectual, just like to play tunes, look up at full moons, eat chips and crack up at cartoons, to be honest that’ll do, Not that ambitious but fuck riches, if you don’t have any time to go to the pictures, Kids outside the shop shouting “Mister, mister! Buy us some Bucky, some skins, and a lighter cause every grey morning this village gets shitter!” (That’s no player that’s me! That’s no player that’s me! See what I mean?) (Gee, um, I, my hands are trembling) One, two, three, four! (See what I mean?) Street lights, and old ladies strung up tight, cause of tracky bottoms kicking about at night Pick up your phone I’m sitting all on my own in the drizzled night, Fucks sake this is pretty shite Give me five, and some water I’ll be alright Give me two years and I’ll be out of sight All jokes aside this place is alright

For all the things you’ve done, the battles.. For all the things you’ve done, the battles that you’ve won For all the things you’ve done “These men come down here from New York, and from Florida, to find out my reasons of rock n roll music and why I preach against it and I believe with all of my heart that it is a contributing factor, to our juvenile delinquency of today.”

Technicolor 03:14
Baby, really I’m fine, most of the time But lately, I’m not sure why but I don’t feel the same Bowie’s got me feeling happy Bad shit got me feeling blue Baby I am not lonely but would you hold me, just for the night Honey tell me a story cause I’m feeling boring and strangely up-tight Maybe, but I don’t regret it, not even if you do, at least there were no technicolor yawns man I swear that bitch is drawing on voodoo but I’d do it again if I could do. Maybe ah ah ah

Telephone 02:02
I’m in love, but that’s never enough for you is it? Yeah she’s only pretty when you’re feeling alone oh but isn’t she just, oh but isn’t she just that? Her eyes give me heart attacks, But you wouldn’t get that, cause you just wanna fuck. Well I guess fair dos cause I do to, Yeah I guess I’m no better than you.

Alison 02:04
Can’t go it alone I need a hand Won’t you come along I’ll tell you my plan Liars and cheats are all in my boat They won’t hold me down I’m ready to float Airbags and seatbelts won’t save you now You’d better stop breathing if you don’t want to drown As my lungs fill up I see her there Standing alone Alison, Alison I’ll get my skates on “where are you from?” Counting her pennies that won’t take long The wheels may get rusty and dusty and old Well after the journey we’ll just get them sold Use all the money to buy lots of fun We won’t stop dancing ‘til the funds are all gone The moon will be down but we’re still around Me and my girl My Alison Alison, Alison, Alison

I wish my eyes could take polaroid pictures, so when I saw you, I could take some for my wall But my eyes, don’t take polaroid pictures, They just fall out of my head and on the floor oh man I feel like I am dead man I’m so dumb my brain is always feeling numb it’s out the door along with any funny, witty thing I could have said I’m off to bed I’ve got to go up in my spaceship out to space so I don’t have to see your face whenever I say something stupid man I feel I’m lucid dreaming. (Marilyn Monroe: “I don’t like to rush this process, because I find if I rush, I’m very tired. By the time I have to do a scene I’m all worn out from rushing through the hair and the makeup and the clothes, so I like to do it leisurely, like I like to dress when I go out in the evening, I love to dress leisurely, I like to soak in the tub, then leisurely uh… I like music, hahaha! I think that we’re rushing too much nowadays, like people get nervous. Well I don’t think I’m late all the time but maybe it is because I can’t go as fast as other people. You know people they get in automobiles they run into each other! Because they, they never stop they’re going like that and I don’t think that man kind is intended for them to go like that, they’re not supposed to be like machines.”)

Sit down and we can talk about it, no need to bring out the knives just yet I know you hate how I look, talk, and breathe, I know in your eyes I’m a walking disease but I I don’t live to appease, I’ll drink my booze cut loose if I choose to What’s the matter with you? What’s the matter with you? You seem so blue you seem so… Tight strung, You’re a dick man you’re no fun! And don’t try to change her, you’ll fuck up and break her, Tight strung, You’re a dick man you’re no fun! And don’t try to change her, you’ll fuck up and break her. (Cut that bitch off!) Dumb motherfucker don’t think you know shit about me! Your shit’s boring man I write that shit in my sleep! I didn’t mean to be mean But it seems the clowns we are don’t amuse you You seem a little confused See we don’t play to please ya And I’ll invite you please To come down to our show I’ll light up a Marlboro Cause I know that you love when she smokes Tight strung, You’re a dick man you’re no fun! And don’t try to change her, you’ll fuck up and break her, Tight strung, You’re a dick man you’re no fun! And don’t try to change her, you’ll fuck up and break her. (Cut that bitch off!) Tight strung, You’re a dick man you’re no fun! And don’t try to change her, you’ll fuck up and break her, Tight strung, You’re a dick man you’re no fun! And don’t try to change her, you’ll fuck up and break her. (Cut that bitch off!)

Outro 01:04
Marilyn Monroe: “Uh, do I feel happy in life? Um… Umm let’s see… let’s say I… I hope I’m finding happiness. Right? Well it only happens I think in moments… yes. I think there’s two things in human beings that they… as I think there is in my self… um… that they want to be alone but they also want to be together. You know?”
