Rock And Roll Heart

Lou Reed Rock And Roll Heart Lyrics
1.I Believe In Love

I believe in good times now
And i believe in shows
And i believe in the iron cross
And as everybody knows

I believe in good time music
Yeah, good time rock 'n' roll
I believe in music, music, music
It'll satisfy your soul, but -

Ah, i believe love (good time music)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, now, i believe in love (good time music)

I believe in party time
And i believe in soul
And i believe in temptation
And knock, knock, knocking at your door

And i believe in good times
Yeah, good times rock 'n' roll
Yeah, i believe in music, music, music
It'll satisfy your soul, but you know that -

Ah, i believe love (good time music)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ah, i believe love (good time music)

I believe (i believe), i believe (i believe)
I believe in love
I believe (i believe), i believe (i believe)
Yeah, i believe in love
I believe (i believe), i believe (i believe)
Yeah, i believe in love

Good time rock 'n' roll
Good time music
Good time rock 'n' roll
Good time music
Good time rock 'n' roll
Good time music
Good time rock 'n' roll

5.Ladies Pay

All the sailors they're all home from leave
And everybody's waiting for them to try to deceive
The storekeepers have drawn their lace curtains bare
And all the women and the wee young girls all waiting there

Oh, but how the ladies pay
Oh, if they only knew how the ladies pay
Yeah now, how the ladies pay
Oh, when the men they've gone away

Nobody is standing on upon the door
And nobody is feeding any of the poor
The poor sick soldier lies in bed beside his girl
Thinking of another place on the other side of the world
Ah

How the ladies pay
Oh-oh, oh, how the ladies pay
When the men they've gone away
Oh, i wish i knew how the ladies pay

Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night
Night and day
Day and night
Day and night, night and day, ladies pay now

Night and day, day and night
How the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night now
Night and day and now
How the pay now
Oh, how the pay now

Ladies pay, ladies pay
Ah, ladies pay the way now
Ladies pay, ah, ladies pay
Ah, ladies pay
Night and day, night and day, night and day
Oh, how the ladies pay
Oh, night and day, night and day, night and day
Oh, how the ladies pay


6.Rock And Roll Heart

I don't like opera and i don't like ballet
And new wave french movies, they just drive me away
I guess i'm just dumb, 'cause i know that i ain't smart
But deep down inside, i got a rock 'n' roll heart
Yeah-yeah-yeah, deep down inside i got a rock 'n' roll heart

Oh, rock 'n' roll heart
Lookin' for a good time
Just a rock 'n' roll heart, roll heart, roll heart
Lookin' for a good time

I don't like massages or something meant to say
And i wish people like that would just go away
I guess i'm just dumb, 'cause i know i'm not smart
But deep down inside, i got a rock 'n' roll heart
Yeah-yeah-yeah, deep down inside i got a rock 'n' roll heart

Yeah, rock 'n' roll heart
Searchin' for a good time
Just a rock 'n' roll heart, roll heart, roll heart
Lookin' for a good time

Yeah, just a rock 'n' roll heart
Lookin' for a good time
Just a rock 'n' roll heart, roll heart, yeah, roll heart
Lookin' for a good time, yeah, now

Yeah, got a rock 'n' roll heart

7.Chooser And The Chosen

(instrumental)


8.Senselessly Cruel

When i was a poor young boy at school
Girls like you always played me for a fool
But now, a time has come to lay to waste
The theory people have of getting an acquired taste
You treated me -

Oh, so, so senselessly cruel
Oh baby, you were so senselessly cruel

From the beginnings i suspected the worst
And you didn't disappoint me
It was just that you were the first
But now, i wouldn't let you touch me
If you were within a foot
And girl, i'm never ever gonna get hurt
'cause you treated me -

Oh, so senselessly cruel
Oh now, so senselessly cruel
(oh, so senselessly cruel)
(oh, so senselessly cruel)


9.Claim To Fame

Talk-talk, yak-yak
Watch you pull that old one track
Get it up and get it back
Making it upon your back

No space, no rent
The money's gone, it's all been spent now
Tell me 'bout your claim to fame

Now ain't that some claim to fame

Extra, extra, read all about it now
Extra, extra, something 'bout a claim to fame
Ooohhh sweet mama, ooohhh sweet mama
Something 'bout your claim to fame

Wet lips, dry now
Ready for that old hand out, now
Ain't that some claim to fame

Spaced out, spaced in
The head's round, the square's flat
Ain't that some claim to fame

Now tell me ain't that some claim to fame

Extra, extra, read all about it now
Extra, extra, something, something 'bout some claim to fame
Ooohhh-wheee sweet mama, extra, extra, something
Something 'bout your claim to fame

Yeah now

I said now, extra, extra
Something 'bout your claim to fame
I said now, extra, extra
Something 'bout your claim to fame
Ooohhh mama, said now, extra, extra
Something 'bout your claim to fame
Extra, extra, something 'bout a
About a, about a, something 'bout your claim to fame
Extra, extra, something 'bout a
'bout a, 'bout a, something 'bout your claim to fame
Ooohhh, ooohhh sweet mama
Something 'bout your claim to fame
Oh, ooohhh sweet mama
Something 'bout your claim to fame


10.Vicious Circle

You're caught in a vicious circle
Surrounded by your so called friends
You're caught in a vicious circle
And it looks like it will never end

'cause some people think that they like problems
And some people think that they don't
And for everybody who says yes
There's somebody who's staring, saying don't

You're caught in a vicious circle
Surrounded by your so called friends
You're caught in a vicious circle
And it looks like it will just never end

'cause some people think that it's nerves
And some people think that it's not
And some people think that it's things that you do
And others think that you were cold when you were hot
They think that, that is what it was about

You're caught in a vicious circle
You're caught in a vicious circle
You're caught in a vicious circle
You're caught in a vicious circle
Surrounded by all of your friends


11.A Sheltered Life

Never been to england, never been to france
Never really learned how to dance
I've never taken dope and i've never taken drugs
Ah, i've never danced on a bear-skin rug

Guess it's true, what all those people they say
I'm gonna have to loose my hometown ways
Guess it's true, guess i've led a sheltered life

Never went around with anything
I've had a hometown life, and i have never learned to swing
Not much of a life, i haven't seen much
I've been true to my wife and it's just been too much

Guess it's true, what all these people they say
I'm gonna have to lose my hometown ways
You know it's true, guess i've led a sheltered life

Guess it's true, what all those people they say
I'm gonna have to lose my hometown ways
Guess it's true, guess i've led a sheltered life


12.Temporary Thing

Hey now, bitch, now, baby
You better make your face get out of here, quick
Maybe your, was getting, ah, too rich
It ain't like we ain't never seen this thing before
And if it turns you then around
Then you better hit the door

But i know, oh, it's just a temporary thing
Oh yeah, it's just a temporary thing

You've read too many books, you've seen too many plays
And it's things like this, that turn you away
Hey, now, now, look, huh, look, hey look, hey look
You better think about it twice
I know that your good breeding makes it seem not so nice

It's just a temporary thing
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, it's just a temporary thing

Where's the number, where's the dime and where's the phone
I feel like a stranger, i guess you wanna go back home
Your mother, your father, your brother
I guess they wouldn't agree with me
But i don't give two shits, they're no better than me

Ah-ha, it's just a temporary thing
Oh yeah, been there before just a temporary thing
It's just a temporary thing
Ah bitch, get off my kids, temporary thing
Get out, it's just a temporary thing
Yeah now, home (it's just a temporary thing)
Temporary thing, huh, ah-ha (it's just a temporary thing)
.... (it's just a temporary thing)
.... (it's just a temporary thing)
(it's just a temporary thing)
(it's just a temporary thing)
