Julian Schnabel - 23 de abril, 2007 Gracias. Quisiera saludar a la madre de Lou, que se halla entre la audiencia. Hola, Toby. Y a su hermana Meryl, dondequiera que te encuentres. Tienes un lindo "Yiddishe kup" ah. Si fuera mi hijo estara muy orgulloso de l. Escuch este disco mucho antes de que Lou y yo nos conociramos, y sent que era la banda de sonido para gran parte de mi vida. Me siento orgulloso y bendecido de conocer a Lou, y honrado de hacer este trabajo con l, junto a mi hija Lola y a los amigos de Lou. As que por favor, apaguen sus telfonos celulares, y pasen un buen rato. Olvide mencionar algo, Lou? No! Sad song... Sad song. Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, Caroline Happy birthday to you! In Berlin By the wall You were 510" tall It was very nice Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice We were in a small cafe You could hear the guitars play It was very nice Oh, honey It was paradise. When she walked on down the street Shes like a child staring at her feet But when she passed the bar And she heard the music play She had to go in and sing It had to be that way She had to go in and sing It had to be that way And I said, "No no no! Oh, Lady Day!" I said, "No no no! Oh, Lady Day!" After the applause Had died down And the people drifted away She climbed down off the bar And went out the door To the hotel That she called home It had greenish walls A bathroom in the hall And I said, "No no no! Oh, Lady Day!" I said, "No no no! Oh, Lady Day!" No no no! Men of good fortune Often cause empires to fall While men of poor beginnings Often cant do anything at all The rich son waits for his father to die The poor just drink and cry And me I just dont care at all Men of good fortune Very often cant do a thing While men of poor beginnings Often can do anything At heart they try to Act like a man! Handle the things Best way they can They got no rich daddy To fall back on Men of good fortune Men of poor beginnings Men of good fortune Men of poor beginnings Men of good fortune Often cause empires to fall While men of poor beginnings Often cant do anything at all It takes money to make money, they say! Look at the Fords Didnt they start that way? Anyway!

Caroline says As she gets up off the floor "Why is it... That you beat me? It isnt any fun" Caroline says As she makes up her eye "You ought to learn more about yourself You oughta think more than just "I" Shes... Not afraid to die All of her friends Call her Alaska when she takes speed They laugh and ask her What is in her mind What is in her mind? Caroline says As she gets up from the floor "You can hit me all that you want to But I dont love you anymore" Caroline says While biting her lip "Lifes meant to be more than this And this is a... A bum trip" Shes... Not afraid to die All of her friends Ahhh Call her Alaska When she takes speed They laugh and they ask her What is in her mind What is in her mind? She put her fist Through the windowpane It was such a funny feeling Its so cold In Alaska Its so cold in Alaska Its so cold In Alaska Its so cold. Theyre taking her children away Because they said shes not a good mother Theyre taking her children away Because she was making it with sisters and brothers And everyone else, all the others Like the cheap officers, theyd stand there And flirt in front of me Theyre taking her children away Because they said shes not a good mother Theyre taking her children away Because of the things that they heard she had done The black air-force sergeant Was not the first one And all of the drugs She took every one Every one And I am the waterboy The real games not over here But my heart is overflowin Anyway Im just a tired man No words to say Ahh, since she lost her daughter Its her eyes That fill with water And me I am much happier this way Theyre taking her children away Because they said Shes not a good mother Theyre taking her children away Because, number one The girlfriend from Paris And the things that they did Aw, man, you didnt have to ask us And then the Welshman from India Who came here to stay Theyre taking her children away Because they said shes not a good mother Theyre taking her children away Because of the things she did in the streets In the alleys and the bars She couldnt be beat, that miserable rotten slut She couldnt turn anyone away And I?

And I am the waterboy The real games not over here But my heart is overflowin Anyway Im just a tired man No words to say But since she lost her daughter Its her eyes That fill with water And me Im much happier this way. This is the place Where she lay her head When she went to bed at night And this is the place where our children were conceived Candles lit the room at night And this is the place where she cut her wrists That odd and fateful night And I said "Oh oh oh oh oh oh What a feeling" And I said "Oh oh oh oh oh oh What a feeling" Oh oh oh oh oh oh What a feeling Oh oh oh oh oh oh What a feeling This is the place where we used to live I paid for it with love and blood And these are the boxes she kept on the shelf Filled with her- Her poetry and her stuff And this is the room where she took the razor And cut her wrists that strange and fateful night And I said "Oh oh oh oh oh oh What a feeling" And I said, "Oh oh oh oh What a feeling" I never should have started If Id known itd end this way But funny thing Im not at all sad... That it stopped this way This is the place where she lay her head When she went to bed at night And this is the place our children were conceived Candles lit the room brightly at night And this is the place where she cut her wrists That odd and fateful night And I said "Oh oh oh oh oh oh What a feeling" And I said "Oh oh oh oh oh oh What a feeling" Oh, so cold, oh, so cold Oh, so cold Oh, so cold. Staring at my picture book She looks like Mary, Queen of Scots She seemed very regal to me Just goes to show how wrong you can be Im gonna stop Wasting my time Somebody else Would have broken both of her arms - Sad song - Sad song... My castle, kids and home I thought she was Mary, Queen of Scots I tried so very hard Shows just how wrong you can be Im gonna stop Wasting my time Somebody else Would have broken Both of her arms - Sad song - Sad song... Sad song... Candy says Ive come to hate my body And all it requires In this world And Candy says Id like to know completely What others so discreetly Talk about Im going to watch The bluebirds fly Over my shoulder, Im... Im going to watch them pass me by Maybe, baby, when Im older What do you think Id see If I could walk away from me? Candy says And I hate those quiet places That cause the smallest taste Of what will be Candy says I hate those big decisions That cause endless revisions In my mind Lou: Im going to watch The bluebirds fly Over my shoulder Im going to watch them pass me by Maybe when Im older What do you think Id see If I could walk away from me? - Over my shoulder - Oooh Maybe when Im older Antony! Esto se titula el "Minueto Rock". Paralyzed by hatred And a piss-ugly soul If he murdered the old man He thought hed become whole While listening at night To an old radio Where they danced to the rock minuet In the gay bars At the back of the bar He consummated hatred On a cold sawdust floor While the jukebox played backbeats Sniffing coke off a jar While they danced to a rock minuet School was a waste He was meant for the street, but... School was the only way That the army could be beat The two whores sucked his nipples Till he came on their feet As they danced to the rock minuet He dreamt that the old man was sunk to his knees The leather belt tied so tight that it was hard to breathe And the studs from his jacket were as cold As a breeze As they danced to a rock minuet He pictured the bedroom Where he heard the first cry Mama on all fours With his daddy behind And her yell hurt so much, he had wished hed gone blind And rocked to a rock minuet Go! In the back of the warehouse were a couple of guys They had tied someone up and sewn up his eyes And he got so excited, he came on his thighs While they danced to the rock minuet On Avenue B someone cruised him one night He took him in an alley and then pulled a knife And he thought of the old man as he cut his windpipe And finally danced to the rock minuet In the curse of the alley The thrill of the streets On the bitter cold docks Where the outlaws all meet in euphoria drug In euphoria heat You could dance to the rock minuet In the thrill of the needle And anonymous sex You could dance to a rock minuet So when you dance hard Slow dancing, when you dance hard Slow dancing, when you dance hard Slow dancing, when you dance to a rock minuet. Standing on the corner Suitcase in my hand Jack is in his corset and Janes in her vest, baby Me, Im in a rock n roll band! Ridin a Stutz Bearcat Those were different times The poets studied rules of verse The ladies rolled their eyes You know what theyre saying Sweet Jane Oh, sweet Jane Sweet Jane Now Jack, he is a banker And Jane, she is a clerk Both them save their monies, honeys And when they come home from work, ah Sittin here by the fire The radio, it does play A little classical music "The March of the Wooden Soldiers" You could hear Jack say, he says, "Jane!" Oh now, baby! Sweet Jane Oh-a, sweet Jane Some people like to go out dancing Then theres other people, baby, they got to work You better watch me now Theres some evil mothers Theyll just tell you that life is just made outta dirt The pretty women, baby, never really faint And villains always blink their eyes The children are the only ones who blush That life- life! That life is just to die But I wanna tell you something Anyone who had a heart They wouldnt turn around and break it And anyone who has ever played a part They wouldnt turn around and hate it Theyd say, "Jane!" Sweet Jane Whoa-oh-oh, Jane Sweet Jane. |
