Legendary Hearts Lyrics

Legendary hearts, tearing up apart with stories of their love
Their great transcendant loves
While we stand here and fight
And lose another night of legendary love

Legendary loves haunt me in my sleep
Promises to keep, I never should have made
I can't live up to this, I'm good for just a kiss
Not legendary love

Romeo, oh Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo
He's in a car or at a bar
Or churning his blood with an impure drug
He's in the past and seems to be lost forever

He worked hard at being good
But his basic soul was stained not pure
And when he took his bow, no audience was clapping

Legendary hearts, tear us all apart
Make our emotions bleed, crying out in need
No legendary love is coming from above
It's in this room right now

And you've got to fight to make what's right
And you've got to fight to make what's right
And you've got to fight to make what's right
And you've got to fight to keep your legendary love

Cover art for Legendary Hearts lyrics by Lou Reed

I can't live up to this, I'm good for just a kiss...

these are such a great lyrics... I just can't find it anywhere to listen to it!!

It's on the album of the same name. Which isn't as good as the album that preceded it - 'The Blue Mask', which in my view is his only post-VU masterpiece (though I haven't listened to all his albums).

@as2191 New York is my favorite Lou solo lp... I like the Bkue Mask, but it’s a BIT (just a bit) overrated.

As far as LH, this is a new discovery for me - Lou’s solo discography is really all over the place in terms of quality, it’s not terribly easily navigated...but a good tune about Celebrity culture and the pressures “normals” feel In their own lives due to expectations created by superstars.
