Words and music: lou reed & john cale
Youve got the money, Ive got the time
You want your freedom, make your freedom mine
cause Ive got the style it takes
And money is all that it takes
Youve got connexions and Ive got the art
You like my attention and I like your looks
And I have the style it takes and you know the people it takes
Why dont you sit right over there, well do a movie portrait
Ill turn the camera on and I wont even be there
A portrait that moves, you look great I think
Ill put the empire state building on your wall
For 24 hours glowing on your wall
Watch the sun rise above it in your room
Wallpaper art, a great view
Ive got a brillo box and I say its art
Its the same one you can buy at any supermarket
cause Ive got the style it takes
And youve got the people it takes
This is a rock group called the velvet underground
I show movies on them
Do you like their sound
cause they have a style that grates and I have art to make
Lets do a movie here next week
We dont have sound but youre so great
You dont have to speak
Youve got the style it takes (kiss)
Youve got the style it takes (eat)
Ive got the style it takes (couch)
Weve got the style it takes (kiss)
John Cale is a Welsh musician and composer born in 1942. After studying music in London and New York, he joined The Velvet Underground in 1965, significantly contributing to their experimental and distinctive sound in the first two albums. Cale introduced the droning viola sound, a characteristic element of songs like "Venus In Furs". After the album *White Light/White Heat*, he left the band due to musical differences with Lou Reed. Cale desired to continue exploring experimental sounds, while Reed gravitated towards simpler pop songs. Cale embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as *Vintage Violence* (1970) and *Paris 1919* (1973), influencing genres like experimental rock, ambient, and electronic music. Among his most representative tracks are "Gideon", "The Endless Plain of Glass" and "Hallelujah".
