I would like to say something deep or meaningful. but I'm out of inspiration. So here are some of my favourite lines from songs by Laurie Anderson.
Sun's coming up. Like a big bald head.
Poking up over the grocery store.
From Sharkey's DayYou know that little clock, the one on your VCR the one that`s always blinking
twelve noon because you never figured out how to get in there and change it? So
it`s always the same time just the way it came from the factory.
From Same Time TomorrowHe says: You know, I can see two tiny pictures of myself
And there's one in each of you eyes. And they're doin' everything I do.
From Sharkey's NightOK! OK! Hold it!
I just want to say something.
You know, for every dollar a man makes
a woman makes 63 cents.
Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.
So, with that kind of luck, it'll be the year 3,888
before we make a buck. But hey, girls?
From Beautiful Red DressAnd if this is the work of an angry god
I want to look into his angry face.
From Love Among The SailorsIt was one of those black cat night
The moon had gone out and the air was thin
It was the kind of night the cat would drag in.
From Poison-
got so excited I ran into my place and i said:
HEY! Is anybody home?
Nobody answered but I guess that's not too weird
Since I live alone.
