I really had a bad reputation for not doing the same things twice, and really with a vengeance. People would be like, “is that song?†It’s nice now to get people to expect that. I think I’ve worn a groove there that you don’t know quite what it’s going to be. But for me, I can’t go on the road and do the same things all the time. Drives me nuts."John Cale

Wednesday is the day of rest in the house with the bamboo floor

I'm picking off the barroom flies just in case I need another glass
F C
It's so hot and the mirror's gettin' dull

I couldn't see it, I couldn't see it if I tried

The man in the mask has sold out all for nothin' at all

Now the monsoon's here and it feels like judgment day.
Watch out for the ego's eye or the opium on the breakfast tray
And the laughter of the dying monk from the poison of the tsetse fly
All the mountains, they have no sides
And the robbers, they have a thousand lies
You can see it all in the rivers of Shanghai
Another monsoon's here and it feels like judgment day.
