Chelsea Girls Lyrics
It's enough to make you sick
Bridget's all wrapped up in foil
You wonder if she can uncoil.
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
Filled with S & M queens
Magic marker row
You wonder just high they go.
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
Rona's treated him so mean
She wants another scene
She wants to be a human being.
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
She thinks she's some man's son
Her perfect loves don't last
Her future died in someone's past.
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
She's turned another trick
Her treats and times revolve
She's got problems to be solved
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
She can't turn out her light
She rolled Susan in a ball
And now she can't see her at all
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
Amphetamine has made her sick
White powder in the air
She's got no bones and can't be scared
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
He collapsed on the floor
They shot him up with milk
And when he died sold him for silk
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls
great song
the hotel chelsea, which this song refers to, was a hotel in new york that everyone hip stayed at. there was leonard cohen, dylan, burroughs, joplin, tom wolfe, jefferson airplane, nico, and other artists, writers, and filmmakers. i'm not sure exactly who all the people in this song are but i'm sure some of them are people from andy warhol's movies. anyways, lotsa people did drugs and wrote music at the chelsea and that's what this song talks about.
the ppl mentioned in the song are all from the movie CHELSEA GIRLS and the song also refers to the movie
well don mrs-mojo-risin, you obvious Doors fan!! The Chelsae, is STILL a hotel in New York. You need as you said some sort of Warhol understaning for this song!!
The song is based on the Warhol movie Chelsea Girls, which nico herself appeared in. Some of the other people who appear in the film, mentioned in the song include:
Mary Woronov Susan Bottomly A.K.A Ingrid Superstar Angelina "Pepper" Davis Ondine A.K.A Bob Olivio Rona Page and Brigid Berlin.
Ingrid Superstar's real name was probably Ingrid von Scherven or something similar. Susan Bottomly's AKA was International Velvet. She might be the Susan referred to in the lyrics.
I don't get it. Lots of people get hundreds of comments on their songs and classics like Nico get FIVE at best.
also, where can I watch this movie? seriously, I can't find it anywhere
Chelsea Girls is about the girls Nico knew at the Chelsea Hotel. It's a great song. Her voice is so hollow.
The Dropout part has got to be about Edie.
The song was written I believe by Lou Reed and is about the Chealsea Girls who starred in the film of the same title. Lou allowed Nico to sing this on her debut. It is a wonderful song and also does refference the Chelsea hotel, which is what Chelsea Girls is all about I believe.
