"All that stuff I couldn't do on the viola I'm doing now. After all that time when people were just not interested in hearing the instrument, I'm pursuing it."John Cale

Lyrics
Mary Lou
Oh, watch out, here comes Mary Lou
She thought she lived in a shoe
Everybody thought she was alright
She's all right, she's all right, she's all right
And her mother told her
Baby, its alright. all right, all right now
Oh Mary, watch out Mary, Mary Lou
Oh Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
Her brother's in the library
Reading about history
He couldn't read or write to well
But it's all right, all right
All right now
Oh Mary
Her father's in the government
Ended up as a fiercer man
Couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong
He's all right for a song
Oh Mary ...
