LOU REED & DAVID BOWIE - Dirty Blvd.

Pedro vive accanto al Wilshire Hotel
guarda fuori dalla finestra senza vetri
i muri sono di cartone
ha dei giornali sotto i piedi
e suo padre lo picchia
perchè è troppo stanco per mendicare
Ha nove fratelli e sorelle
tirati su e sottomessi
è difficile correre quando hai segni
di frustate sulle gambe
Pedro sogna di essere più vecchio
e di uccidere suo padre
ma è una cosa improbabile
e va nello sporco boulevard
Finirà nello sporco boulevard
esce fuori, per lo sporco boulevard
va giù, nello sporco boulevard
Questa stanza costa 2.000 dollari al mese
puoi crederci, amico, è vero
da qualche parte un proprietario ride
al punto di pisciarsi sotto
nessuno sogna di diventare un dottore
o un avvocato o qualcosa
sognano solo di spacciare
nello sporco boulevard
Portatemi gli affamati, gli stanchi
i poveri e gli piscierò addosso
questo è ciò che la Statua dellIntolleranza dice
le vostre masse di poveri accalcati
picchiamoli a sangue
facciamola finita
e buttiamoli nel boulevard
Bisogna finire, su quello sporco boulevard
andare fuori per lo sporco boulevard
sta scendendo giù per lo sporco boulevard
uscire
Fuori è una notte luminosa
danno unopera al Lincoln Center
le star del cinema arrivano in limousine
le luci al laser proiettate
oltre il profilo di Manhattan
ma le luci sono spente nelle strade malfamate
Un bambino è in piedi vicino al Lincoln Tunnel
vende rose di plastica per un dollaro
il traffico è intasato sulla 39esima strada
le troie della TV chiamano
i poliziotti per succhiarglielo
E intanto al Wilshire
Pedro sta seduto e sogna
ha trovato un libro di magia
dentro un bidone della spazzatura
guarda le figure
e fissa il soffitto crepato
al tre dice
spero di scomparire
E volare, volare via
da questo sporco boulevard
voglio volare, da questo sporco boulevard
voglio volare, da questo sporco boulevard
voglio volare volare volare volare
da questo sporco boulevard
Voglio volare via
voglio volare
volare volare via
voglio volare
volare volare via (volare-)

[@nyingma13]

David's almost freestyle abd weary singing where he follows the melody and then sometimes not, and Lou's spoken poetry lyrics filled with ennui make this one of the best damn collaborations ever. I sae them both individually, but would have given anything to see them perform together.

I would say so !

[@dii6266]

Listened to most of the New York album in the car earlier today. It still sounds good. Always loved the drums on this track but it's all good. And David Bowie's voice. Damn. Saw him on the Let's Dance tour and it was excellent even though I was not that into the album. Never saw Lou Reed but I like his unique style and music.

fly fly to the dirty blvd. Yes, fly away, fly fly, lfy away!! Goin down to the Dirty Boulevard! I"m glad Reed and Bowie did this concert. Now we have it for posterity. Now, Lou's gone and Bowies 1 year away from 70 years old. Who knows how long he will be here with us. Or maybe we won't be here and he will still be around.

[@moragmacgregor6792]

The only song where Lou really relaxes and lights up, or so it seems to me. Bowie of course is at 10,000 gigawatts just as he was 20+ years prior

Every so often "Walk on the Wild Side" is played on the radio, but Lou has a very impressive catalogue. He did so much. Radio really sucks. So does corporate America which controls radio.

[@oakmites7875]

Amen, brother. Maybe it's being older, but from what I hear of music today, I can't find any meaning or art to it. But seeing this, being reminded of this, I can say that truly giants walked the earth -- once. Will kids today be able to say the same thing about about Taylor Swift? P.S. To all you trolls, it's just a question.
