Текст песни Things — John Cale

Elsewhere in the temple the llamas are gearing up To assault tiger mountain when the sun comes up Deconstructing Hollywood into the sand
Putting it back together with a rubber band
Legendary failures of the silver screen
Mimicking the software they end up in Doing it -(doing the things)
Doing it -(doing the things)
Things you do in Denver when you’re dead
A month is a saturday wednesday is a week
I saw the way you nlooked at her Charlie Brown good
grief
She pulled you into shadows and taught you how to love
Patted you on the head and gave you a gentle shove
The sexual exuberance of a concubine checking my carburettor one more time
With the passion of a thoroughbred and the sensitivity
of a moose you
Rarely make a move unless you find some proof that i’ve
been doing it We sat around whispering in the candlelight
Missing the essentials of a game plan for the night
Learning about the difference between north and south
Keep your gun in yr pocket and your tongue in yr mouth
extra verse:
You live in Paris
I live in France
Things are expensive when you live 1st class
I learnt latin
You learnt greek
When you’ve got a minute
We’ll meet in Crete
