Lou Reed Lyrics-30 – They can never find a voice (from “Street Hassle”) (Now Playing Week 11)

in #nowplaying6 years ago (edited)

This disquieting quote has always been one of my favorites of Lou’s lyrics. The fact that it is spoken as opposed to sung makes it even more affecting.

Bad luck

The casual rhymes, along with Lou’s trademark dispassionate delivery, seem to be leading to some relatively decent ending or at least some neutral insight. But then, the music essentially stops, and Lou’s vocals continue. He bluntly tells us that such a situation is not good. In fact, it’s bad, and if you happen to be one of those people, you have “bad luck.”    

That’s all. The music starts up again, and Lou moves on to the next verse. But the listener cannot forget the ringing indictment in this verse.

Make it good. Make it your own.

Find your own voice. Good luck.  

Street Hassle, Lou Reed …

Amazing lyricist. Again.

Cool man, never heard this gem before, very weird but, what else could one expect, very soothing....
