Through all of the highways, the byways I've travelled
through all of the sidestreets and alleys of sin
Through all that's been heard nothing sinks quite as low
as the prominent statements of prominent men
Prominent men tell prominent stories
prominent men tell prominent lies
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
prominent men will tear out your eyes
The streets that have life with the cat's underbelly
aligned with their tracks of a thousand good-byes
A poor woman screams with the heat of disaster
as the prominent men sit and strengthen their ties
Oh, the prominent girls of the prominent people
make prominent dresses and prominent hair
Oh, their prominent wealth and their eyes blazed with shadow
the prominent horrors with the ghost millionaire
The shiny stained window now cracked at sunset
they shiny red dawn of the heart soon must fall
This simply occurred at the seat of the cauldron
those prominent men hadn't been there at all
Prominent men tell prominent stories
prominent men tell prominent lies
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
prominent men will tear out your eyes
Oh, the prominent child of these prominent people
seeks prominent schools with the finery of age
With a prominent pink of a tasteless red orchid
the prominent men casts a prominent heir
The child of the agent walks barefoot upon grass
he screams with a power that terror's green eyes
His knife harshly glistening, stabs noways and always
but those prominent men in nowhere in sight
Prominent men tell prominent stories
prominent men tell prominent lies
Prominent men kiss the ass of Dame Fortune
prominent men will tear out your eyes
I Velvet Underground sono stati una band rock statunitense di grande influenza, attivi dal 1964 al 1973. Fondati a New York da Lou Reed (voce, chitarra), John Cale (violoncello, tastiere), Sterling Morrison (chitarra) e Maureen Tucker (batteria), il gruppo è noto per aver introdotto elementi sperimentali nel rock, influenzando generi come il punk, l'indie e la musica elettronica. Il loro sound, caratterizzato da testi provocatori e melodie minimaliste, ha spesso esplorato temi di droga, sessualità e marginalità sociale. Nico, cantante tedesca, si unì al gruppo per il loro album di debutto (1967), considerato un classico del rock underground. Dopo la partenza di Cale nel 1968, i Velvet Underground continuarono a registrare con Doug Yule (basso, tastiere). Il loro lavoro più famoso è probabilmente "The Velvet Underground and Nico", prodotto da Andy Warhol. Altri album importanti includono "White Light/White Heat" (1968) e "Loaded" (1970), quest'ultimo che raggiunse un discreto successo commerciale. Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo, Lou Reed intraprese una carriera di successo come solista, mentre gli altri membri continuarono a collaborare con diversi artisti.

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.
