Letra da Música Things X de John Cale

Elsewhere in the Temple the llamas are gearing up
To assault Tiger Mountain when the sun comes up
We sat around whispering in the candlelight
Trying to get a game plan for the night
Talked about the difference between North and South
Keep your gun in your pocket and your tongue in your mouth
and you'll be doing it
- the thing you do in Denver when you're dead.

A month is a Saturday - Wednesday's a week
I saw the way you looked at her Charlie Brown - good grief
She pulled you into the shadows and taught you how to love
Patted you on the head and gave you a shove
and you were doing it - the thing........

The sexual exuberance of a concubine
Checks my carburettor one more time
With the passion of a thoroughbred and the
Sensitivity of a moose I rarely make a move
Unless I've got some proof that we'll be doing it -
........the thing........

You live in Paris I live in France things are expensive
When you live first class - you learn Latin I'll learn Greek
And when you've got a minute we'll meet in Crete
And we'll be doing it - the thing........

(Pastoral)
