Words and music: lou reed & john cale
Andy its me, havent seen you in a while
I wished I talked to you more when you were alive
I thought you were self-assured when you acted shy
Hello its me
I really miss you, I really miss your mind
I havent heard ideas like that in such a long, long time
I loved to watch you draw and watch you paint
But when I saw you last I turned away
When billy name was sick and locked up in his room
You asked me for some speed, I though it was for you
Im sorry that I doubted your good heart
Things always seem to end before they start
Hello its me, that was a great gallery show
Your cow wallpaper and your floating silver pillows
I wish I paid more attention when they laughed at you
Hello its me
Pop goes pop artist, the headline said
Is shooting a put-on, is warhol really dead?
You get less time for stealing a car
I remember thinking as I heard my own record in a bar
They really hated you, now all thats changed
But I have some resentments that can never be unmade
You hit me where it hurt I didnt laugh
Your diaries are not a worthy epitaph
Oh well now andy - guess weve got to go
I hope some way somehow you like this little show
I know its late in coming but its the only way I know
Hello its me - goodnight andy...
Goodbye, andy
John Cale was born in Wales but moved to London and then New York to study music. He joined The Velvet Underground in 1965 and played a key part in the distinctive sound and experimental ethos of their first two albums. In particular, he introduced the droning violas that made songs such as "Venus In Furs" so groundbreaking. After White Light/White Heat, Cale left the band, due to musical differences with Lou Reed. Cale wanted to continue to experiment, whereas Reed wanted to write simpler pop songs, as evidenced on the two Velvet Underground albums involving Reed without Cale: The Velvet Underground and Loaded.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
