Valerie solanis took the elevator got off at the 4th floor
Valerie solanis took the elevator got off at the 4th floor
She pointed the gun at andy saying you cannot control me anymore
And I believe theres got to be some retribution
I believe an eye for an eye is elemental
And I believe that somethings wrong if shes alive right now
Valerie solanis took three steps pointing at the floor
Valerie solanis waved her gun pointing at the floor
From inside her idiot madness spoke and bang
Andy fell onto the floor
And I believe lifes serious enough for retribution
I believe being sick is no excuse and
I believe I wouldve pulled the switch on her myself
When they got him to the hospital his pulse was gone
They thought that he was dead
His guts were pouring from his wounds onto the floor
They thought that he was dead
Not until years later would the hospital do to him what she could not
Andy said, where were you, you didnt come to see me
Andy said, I think I died, why didnt you come to see me
Andy said, t hurt so much, they took blood from my hand
I believe theres got to be some retribution
I believe theres got to be some retribution
I believe we are all the poorer for it now
Visit me, why didnt you visit me
Visit me, why didnt you visit me
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".
