I was talking to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit And his wizards hat He spoke of his movie and how he was making A new sound trackAnd then we spoke of kids on the coast And different types of organic soap And the way suicides don't leave notes Then we spoke of Lorraine, always back to LorraineI was speaking to Phil who was given to pills And small racing cars He had given them up since his last crack-up Had carried him too farThen we spoke of the movies and verse And the way an actress held her purse And the way life at times can get worse Then we spoke of Lorraine, always back to LorraineAh, she's a wild child And nobody can get at her She's a wild child Oh and nobody can get to herSleeping out on the street Oh, living all alone without a house or a home And then she asked you, Please Hey, baby, can I have some spare change Oh, can I break your heart?She's a wild child, she's a wild childI was talking to Betty about her auditions How they made her ill But life is the theater, is certainly fraught With many spills and chillsBut she'd come down after some wine Which is what happens most of the time Then we sat and both spoke in rhymes Till we spoke of Lorraine, always back to LorraineI was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead By mutual friends He thought it was funny that I had no money To spend on himSo, we both shared a piece of sweet cheese And sang of our lives and our dreams And how things can come apart at the seams And we talk of Lorraine, always back to LorraineShe's a wild child Oh and nobody can get at her She's a wild child Oh and nobody can get to herSleeping out on the street Oh, living all alone without a house or a home And then she asked you, Please Oh, baby, can I have some spare change Now can I break your heart?"She's a wild child, she's a wild child
Lou Reed — дебютный студийный альбом американского музыканта Лу Рида, вышедший в 1972 году.
После ухода из группы The Velvet Underground в 1970 году, разочарованный Лу Рид вернулся к родителям и устроился наборщиком текста в фирме налогового учета, принадлежавшей его отцу, за 40 долларов в неделю. Через год он все же подписал контракт с RCA Records и записал первый сольный альбом со специально приглашенными музыкантами: Риком Уэйкманом и Стивом Хау из группы Yes, игравшей прогрессивный рок. Альбом состоит из песен, записанных Ридом еще с The Velvet Underground, но не выпущенных группой. Рид и музыканты перезаписали песни, адаптировав зачастую экспериментальные мелодии группы под поп-рок. Во всех песнях незначительно изменен текст. Песни "Going Down" и "Berlin" были написаны Ридом специально для альбома.
