GRGR(9) I'm Your V.ness

[s~Z]

Not much commentary today...I've been harassed offlist so much  this
week that I'm a bit gun-shy...I need an uplifting tune to brighten my
spirits...how about a bit of Lou, that master of expansive
non-self-indulgent illumination?...take us into the weekend Mr.
Anderson...follow the peeling banana:


        "V.ness In Furs: A Little More Venus, Please"
        (album _The Velvet Underground And Nico_)
        (written by Lou Reed)


        Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
        whiplash girlchild in the dark
        Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
        strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

        Downy sins of streetlight fancies
        chase the costumes she shall wear
        Ermine furs adorn imperious
        Severin, Severin awaits you there

        I am tired, I am weary
        I could sleep for a thousand years
        A thousand dreams that would awake me
        different colors made of tears

        Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
        shiny leather in the dark
        Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
        strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

        Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
        Severin, down on your bended knee
        Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
        taste the whip, now plead for me

        I am tired, I am weary
        I could sleep for a thousand years
        A thousand dreams that would awake me
        different colors made of tears

        Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
        whiplash girlchild in the dark
        Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
        strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
