Board boy, board boy, rolling down the road board boy, board boy, what have you been told
Do you wear your jeans of blue?
Oh that way is paved with gold
Board boy, board boy what have you been sold
Yes boy, no boy, you dont have to use your head
Its alright boy, you can use your feet instead
You dont have to worry about the french emissary
You dont have to dread
Board boy, board boy, just listen to what I have said
You can ask my poor old fairweather friend
If the hills are hard to find
If the misty mountain tops of may
Thatll make us change their minds.
Board boy, board boy, rolling down the road
Board boy, board boy, what have you been told.
You can smell the means by which your secret signs do unfold
Board boy, board boy, rolling down the road.
John Cale è un musicista e compositore gallese, nato nel 1942. Dopo aver studiato musica a Londra e New York, si è unito ai The Velvet Underground nel 1965, contribuendo in modo significativo al loro sound sperimentale e distintivo nei primi due album. Cale introdusse il suono drone della viola, elemento caratteristico di brani come "Venus In Furs". Dopo l'album *White Light/White Heat*, ha lasciato la band a causa di divergenze musicali con Lou Reed. Cale desiderava continuare ad esplorare sonorità sperimentali, mentre Reed si orientava verso canzoni pop più semplici. Cale ha intrapreso una carriera solista di successo, pubblicando album come *Vintage Violence* (1970) e *Paris 1919* (1973), influenzando generi musicali come il rock sperimentale, l'ambient e la musica elettronica. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Gideon", "The Endless Plain of Glass" e "Hallelujah".

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.
