  10. And the colored girls go "Doo do doo do doo do do doo

    What a loss. Why can't it be someone less worthy?

  11. I have the same thoughts about him that I have with Chris Brown on steroids: I kinda liked his music (perfect day is the best in my opinion, but I think he was a great musician) and disliked the person.

    Anyway, he has lived about twenty more years longer than a junkie like him has in expectance.
    RIP.

      Kermit : that's such a cunt of a thing to say. Not to mention ignorant, poorly worded and ill informed. You're talking out your arse mate.

  13. 'Cause when the smack begins to flow
    Then I really don't care anymore
    Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
    And that blood is in my head
    And thank God that I'm as good as dead
    And thank your God that I'm not aware
    And thank God that I just don't care
    And I guess I just don't know
    And I guess I just don't know

  14. Babo: Lovely and perfect. Waiting for Rach to chime in. Seems like she'd be a fan as well. Never was a huge consumer of his music but sad to see another talented yet tortured but musical soul depart.

      Sherry: I love Lou. He was brilliant, misunderstood and his journey to find himself was done through his music. And we all benefited from his genius. I'm genuinely upset.
      If it weren't Ocsober, I'd have a drink in his honour.

  17. I can't believe I agree with Kermit. I also feel Perfect Day is one of Lou's best.

    RIP Mr. Reed.

  24. I'm waiting for my man
    Got 26 dollars in my hand
    Up to Lexington 125
    Feelin' sick and dirty
    I'm waiting for my man
    ----------------
    I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
    I'm gonna watch them pass me by
    Maybe when I'm older
    What do you think I'd see
    If I could walk away from me
    ---------------------
    Some things come to he who waits
    but all is lost if you hesitate
    And I was never one to wait
    you'll know you were loved
    ---------------------------
    Good morning, it's possum day
    Feel like a possum in every way
    Like a possum

    Possum whiskers, possum face
    Possum breath and a possum taste
    Like a possum

    Possum tales, possum eyes
    Possum bones, possum thighs
    Like a possum

    Possum shots, possum runs
    Possum sleeps to possum drums
    Calm as an angel

    RIP
