Velvet Underground: "I'm Sticking With You"


(rip lou reed)

"If you would be a poet, [...]
You are Whitman, you are Poe, you are Mark Twain, you are Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay, you are Neruda and Mayakovsky and Pasolini, you are an American or a non-American, you can conquer the conquerors with words..."

— lawrence ferlinghetti  from "poetry as insurgent art "



"I'm sticking with you



'Cause I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too

You held up a stage coach in the rain



And I'm doing the same
Saw you're hanging from a tree
And I made believe it was me

I'm sticking with you




'Cause I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too

Some people go into the stratosphere



Soldiers fighting with the cong
But with you, by my side I can do anything
When we swing, we hang past right and wrong

I'll do anything for you





Anything you want me to
I'll do anything for you
Ooh, I'm sticking with you"
