Lady godiva's operation


Lady Godiva here dressed so demurely
Pats the head of another curly haired boy, just another toy
Sick with silence she weps sincerely
saying word that have oh so clearly been said
so long ago
Draperies wrapped gently 'round her shoulder
Life has made her that much bolder now
that she's found out how
Dressed in silk, latin lace and envy
Pride and joy of the latest penny faire
pretty passing care
Hair today now dipped in the water
Making love to every poor daughter's son
isn't it fun
Now today propping grace with envy
Lady Godiva peers to see if anyone's there
and hasn't a care
Doctor is coming the nurse thinks SWEETLY
Turning on the machines that NEATLY pump air
the body lies bare
Shaved and hairless what once was SCREAMING
now lies silent and almost SLEEPING
the brain must have gone away
Straped securly to the white table
ether caused the body to wither and writhe
underneath the white light
Doctor arrives with knife and baggage
sees the growth as just so much cabbage
that now
must be cut away
Now come the moment of Great! Great! Decision!
The doctor is making his first incision
One goes here one goes there
The ether tube's leaking says someone who's sloppy
the patient it seems is not so well sleeping
The screams echo up the hall
Don't panic someone give him pentathol instantly
Doctor removes his blade
cagily slow from the brain
By my count of ten
the head won't move

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Velvet Underground were an influential American rock band active from 1964 to 1973. Formed in New York by Lou Reed (vocals, guitar), John Cale (viola, keyboards), Sterling Morrison (guitar) and Maureen Tucker (drums), the group is known for introducing experimental elements into rock, influencing genres such as punk, indie, and electronic music. Their sound, characterized by provocative lyrics and minimalist melodies, often explored themes of drugs, sexuality, and social marginalization. Nico, a German singer, joined the band for their debut album (1967), considered a classic of underground rock. After Cale's departure in 1968, the Velvet Underground continued to record with Doug Yule (bass, keyboards). Their most famous work is probably "The Velvet Underground and Nico", produced by Andy Warhol. Other important albums include "White Light/White Heat" (1968) and "Loaded" (1970), the latter achieving modest commercial success. After the band's dissolution, Lou Reed embarked on a successful solo career, while the other members continued to collaborate with various artists.
