Images — текст песни (John Cale)

Words and music: lou reed & john cale



I think images are worth repeating

Images repeated from a painting

Images taken from a painting

From a photo worth re-seeing

I love images worth repeating, project them upon the ceiling

Multiply them with silk screening

See them with a different feeling

Some say images have no feeling, I think theres a deeper meaning

Mechanical precision or so its seeming

Instigates a cooler feeling

I love multiplicity of screenings

Things born anew display new meanings

I think images are worth repeating and repeating and repeating



Im no urban idiot savant spewing paint without any order

Im no sphinx, no mystery enigma

What I paint is very ordinary

I dont think Im old or modern, I dont think I think Im thinking

It doesnt matter what Im thinking

Its the images that are worth repeating

Images

If youre looking for a deeper meaning, Im as deep as this high ceiling

If you think technique is meaning, you might find me very simple

You might think that images boring

Cars and cans and chairs and flowers

You might find me personally boring

Hammer, sickle, mao tse tong, mao tse tong -

I think that it bears repeating the images upon the ceiling

I love images worth repeating and repeating and repeating
