Pass Thru Fire Collected Lyrics
Pass Thru Fire Collected Lyrics | Reed Lou
3 posts | 2 to read
A comprehensive chronicle of the work of a master, Pass Thru Fire is breathtaking in its raw beauty and power to move. Collected here is over thirty years of work, spanning Lou Reed's entire career: from his early days with the Velvet Underground to the classic albums Transformer, Berlin and New York; from the elegiac Magic And Loss to his most recent release, Ecstasy. Many of his lyrics have never been written down, so this project has been a labour of love: fans transcribed the songs as well as they could; Reed took what they wrote and listened to the records over and over, and Pass Thru Fire was created.

“Some people like to go out dancing,
Other people they have to work.
There's even some evil mothers,
They'll tell you that everything is just dirt,
That women never really faint
Or that villains always blink their eyes
Or that children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die.
But anyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it“

Remembering Lou Reed on his birthday.

“There‘s a little magic in everything
And some loss to even things out.”

How I come to be listening to Metal Machine Music at almost 01:00 am is a mystery locked within the vagaries of shuffle-play. I've gone past the setting-my-teeth-on-edge phase into the semi-meditative state that can only be induced by an hour of patternless guitar feedback. It is, however, a reasonable accompaniment to the book I'm reading (tagged in comment) as Lou recorded it as a massive FU to his oppressive record label. Anger is an energy!
