Style It Takes — текст песни (John Cale)

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)
