The Kids Lyrics

Cover art for The Kids lyrics by Lou Reed

The kids crying story sounds interesting. Doubt its true tho sounds way too cruel. Personally one of my least faves on the album but thats because the screaming child part degrades it for me. An easy way at creating emotion, not like the craft shown in other tracks. None the less a great track adored by many.

The kids crying song IS false - in fact Bob Ezrin coached them through their "acting" duties carefully, but didn't really get the performance he wanted until the baby had started screaming and the older kids realised that was the correct tone of voice. (See booklet to Between Thought & Expression).
