street hassle

• 3 bolumden olusan 11 dakika civarindaki lou reed sarkisi. sozleri de soyledir:
  
  a) waltzing matilda
  
  waltzing matilda whipped out her wallet
  the sexy boy smiled in dismay
  she took out four twenties ’cause she liked round figures
  everybody’s a queen for a day
  oh, babe, i’m on fire and you know how i admire your -
  - body why don’t we slip away
  although i’m sure you’re certain, it’s a rarity me flirtin’
  sha-la-la-la, this way
  
  oh, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
  hey, baby, come on, let’s slip away
  
  luscious and gorgeous, oh what a hunk of muscle
  call out the national guard
  she creamed in her jeans as he picked up her means
  from off of the formica topped bar
  and cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly
  and boldly out of this world
  and despite people’s derision
  proved to be more than diversion
  sha-la-la-la, later on
  
  and then sha-la-la-la-la, he entered her slowly
  and showed her where he was coming from
  and then sha-la-la-la-la, he made love to her gently
  it was like she’d never ever come
  and then sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
  when the sun rose and he made to leave
  you know, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
  neither one regretted a thing
  
  b) street hassle
  
  hey, that cunt’s not breathing
  i think she’s had too much
  of something or other, hey, man, you know what i mean
  i don’t mean to scare you
  but you’re the one who came here
  and you’re the one who’s gotta take her when you leave
  i’m not being smart
  or trying to be cold on my part
  and i’m not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve
  but you know people get all emotional
  and sometimes, man, they just don’t act rational
  they think they’re just on tv
  
  sha-la-la-la, man
  why don’t you just slip her away
  
  you know, i’m glad that we met man
  it really was nice talking
  and i really wish that there was a little more time to speak
  but you know it could be a hassle
  trying to explain myself to a police officer
  about how it was that your old lady got herself stiffed
  and it’s not like we could help
  but there was nothing no one could do
  and if there was, man, you know i would have been the first
  but when someone turns that blue
  well, it’s a universal truth
  and then you just know that bitch will never fuck again
  by the way, that’s really some bad shit
  that you came to our place with
  but you ought to be more careful around the little girls
  it’s either the best or it’s the worst
  and since i don’t have to choose
  i guess i won’t and i know this ain’t no way to treat a guest
  but why don’t you grab your old lady by the feet
  and just lay her out on the darkened street
  and by morning, she’s just another hit and run
  you know, some people got no choice
  and they can’t never find a voice
  to talk with that they can even call their own
  so the first thing that they see
  that allows them the right to be
  why they follow it, you know, it’s called bad luck
  
  c) slipaway
  
  believe me, that it’s just a lie
  that’s what she tells her friends
  ’cause the real song, the real song
  which she won’t even admit to herself
  beat narrow heart, the song lots of people know
  it’s a painful song
  it’ll only say the truth
  it lasts for sad songs
  penny for a wish
  a wish won’t make you a soldier
  a pretty kiss or a pretty face
  can’t have it’s way
  the tramps like us who were born to play
  
  love is gone away
  and there’s no one here now
  and there’s nothing left to say
  but, oh, how i miss him, baby
  oh, baby, come on and slip away
  come on, baby, why don’t you slip away
  
  love is gone away
  took the rings off my fingers
  and there’s nothing left to say
  but, oh how, oh how i need him, baby
  come on, baby, i need you baby
  oh, please don’t slip away
  i need your loving so bad, babe
  please don’t slip away
