John Cale - Images Lyrics
Words and music: lou reed & john caleI think images are worth repeatingImages repeated from a paintingImages taken from a paintingFrom a photo worth re-seeingI love images worth repeating, project them upon the ceilingMultiply them with silk screeningSee them with a different feelingImagesImagesImagesImagesSome say images have no feeling, I think theres a deeper meaningMechanical precision or so its seemingInstigates a cooler feelingI love multiplicity of screeningsThings born anew display new meaningsI think images are worth repeating and repeating and repeatingIm no urban idiot savant spewing paint without any orderIm no sphinx, no mystery enigmaWhat I paint is very ordinaryI dont think Im old or modern, I dont think I think Im thinkingIt doesnt matter what Im thinkingIts the images that are worth repeatingImagesImagesImagesImagesIf youre looking for a deeper meaning, Im as deep as this high ceilingIf you think technique is meaning, you might find me very simpleYou might think that images boringCars and cans and chairs and flowersYou might find me personally boringHammer, sickle, mao tse tong, mao tse tong -I think that it bears repeating the images upon the ceilingI love images worth repeating and repeating and repeatingImagesImagesImagesImages
