The Fall – Repetition Lyrics 14 years ago
the first bit about noise, speed and wearing black does remind me of the velvet underground.

repetition in the drums = mo tucker

mental hospitals and electric shock treatment = lou reed

Sonic Youth – Genetic Lyrics 14 years ago
to me it is either a love song talking about someone (m/f), or it could be about his child? "i live inside of you." "don't worry baby i'm watching as you sleep"... sounds like a mixture of both. the woman he loves, it's not always perfect "i see me and you / then it's him i'm thinking of" AND the child they have. confusion and love.

John Cale – Venus In Furs Lyrics 14 years ago
i think he sings it well. there is a demoversion of the song, it is beautiful, but kind of funny that it used to sound like a folk song, kind of medieval even.

John Cale – Guts Lyrics 14 years ago
it is about kevin ayers, who did fuck john cale's wife.

i think he does what people with a good imagination do: he acts out the violence and revenge in his head [people with no imagination might actually act violent, sadly].
but in the end, violence and violent revenge do not make sense.

if anyone has a clue on the french bit etc. please go ahead.

John Cale – Big White Cloud Lyrics 14 years ago
finally i made an account here :)

first i gotta say: true @bkat004!

i think this song might be about some kind of drug, as john cale is in no way a religious man.

my favourite lines are
"Time to kill on the hill
Looking at bees, licking the trees
Looking for signs .."

first i thought it meant "time to kill [somebody/something]", but it just came to my mind: he has some time to kill on the hill, and looks at the bees, well, and maybe he did lick the trees :)
sounds like a nice drug, doesn't it?

if i happen to come across it in the john cale autobiography i'll post it.
