John Cale, les jambes de Marilyn, l'ombre de Nico.

"Late to the party, she's always there

She's always there, late to the party
She's always there
I never did see, never did see, much
Always, always
Beauty, elsewhere
Elsewhere, elsewhere"

Il a attaqué sa neuvième décennie, et plus de cinquante ans après le Velvet dont il demeure LE musicien, John Cale publie Mercy.
Au menu, "Marilyn Monroe's Legs (Beauty elsewhere)".

Et après les jambes de Marilyn, l'ombre de Nico.
Dont il ne s'est jamais remis. Moonstruck (Nico's song).

Moonstruck, moonstruck

You're a moonstruck junkie lady, staring at your feet

Breathing words into an envelope

To be opened on your death

And miles and miles

Miles and miles

Do the waltz and then the overture in the belly of the beast

Please console me, yes please hold me

I have come to make my peace

And miles and miles, and miles and miles

And miles and miles to go

So afraid, of your own shadow

Following close behind

How did you cover, so much territory

Eating up the miles

And miles and miles to go

And miles and miles to go

Wanna take the day, wanna take the night

Wanna take the day, wanna take the night

And you can't see what's in front of you

Doesn't matter, you're broke

And looking for miles and miles

And miles and miles

And miles and miles to go

And miles and miles away

Don't be afraid of this life

Be afraid of this life.
