Some say they saw in me innocent poetry
Some say they'll never be certain
But still it's been written in a history of lovers
In givin’ and takin’ and ink

And there's nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleepin' city sidewalks
And Sunday mornin' comin' down

I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?

I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come-what-may places
Where one relaxes on the axis
Of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails

Half of the time we're gone
But we don't know where
And we don't know where

And there's one point
I really want to prove
If you vote for John Lee Hooker you know you gonna groove
Don't be fooled by the Republican
Don't pity the Democratic
Vote John Lee Hooker and everything gon’ be mellow,

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

Rainy day, rain all day
Ain't no use in getting uptight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it drain your worries away
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Lay back and dream on a rainy day

They were wild like the USA
A mystery band in a New York way
Rock and roll, but not like the rest
And to me, America at its best
How in the world were they making that sound?
Velvet Underground

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down

Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today

Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with everything I got

Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I cruise along always searchin' for songs
Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker

My baby wants to rock and roll
She likes pictures and thought control
She's shoppin' wild and she's comin' down
Superman couldn't turn her around
She wants to rock, rock, rock, rock and roll

And we were so obsessed with writing the next best American record
That we give all we had 'til the time we got to bed
'Cause we knew we could

You see, my aura's positive I don't promote no junk
See, I'm far from a bully and I ain't a punk
Extremity in rhythm, yeah that's what you heard
So just clean out your ears and just check the word

I've said this before now
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
Remember what I told you
If they hated me they will hate you

I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?

So why should I feel sorry
If they just couldn't understand
The idiomatic logic
That went on in my head
I had a brain
It was insane
Oh they used to laugh at me
When I refused to ride
On all those double-decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top
