John Cale
Cataloging everything you’ve done—I’m not interested in that. I’m interested in different ways of expressing myself. If I’m lucky, it will work."

Oh your mother told me so, you're gonna be all right

Don't let your heart get broken
You know how much he loved to sail
Remember how you heard that steamer whistle blowing
Made him cry all day
Oh, mama, she done told me so, you're gonna be all right
