Leaving It up to You — текст песни (John Cale)

Looking for a friend, looking everywhere

Walked along the boulevard, the boulevard of friends

All those mild mannered friends Ive got

Theyre careless and they fall down

All over the place, all over town

I dont want them talking to me



cause Im leaving it, leaving it, leaving it up to you

Have to leave it, leave it, leave it up to you



All the buildings are breaking down

Like the whispering in your heart

And its sordid how life goes on

When I could take you apart

And if you give me half a chance

Id do it now, Id do it now, right now, you fascist

I know we could all feel safe like sharon tate

We could give it all up, we could give, give, give it all up

And the newspapers, oh the newspapers

Theyd be listening, listening to me giving it to you

And the radio, what about the radios?

Theyd be listening to me giving it to you



Right mama, damn right mama



I hear hissing, I hear hissing in the distance

I hear the tanks crawling

Theyre crawling over the hill, theyre crawling over the hill

Like rattlesnakes in the desert sun

Theyre blistering up my spell, theyre blistering it up

Theyre breaking it up, theyre breaking up my spell

And what else is there, what else have I got?

What else have I got but that spell?



Ah, leaving it, leaving it, Im leaving it up to you

Leaving it, leaving it, leaving it up to you

Leaving it, leaving it, leaving it in the cloakroom for you



Ive got to give it up, Ive got to give it up, give it up

Up, up, give it up



I cant take it
