satellite of love


satellite's gone up to the skies
things like that drive me out of my mind
i watched it for a little while
i like to watch things on TV

satellite of love

satellite's gone way up to Mars
soon it'll be filled with parkin' cars
i watched it for a little while
i love to watch things on TV

satellite of love

i've been told that you've been bold
with harry, mark and john
monday, tuesday, wednesday to thursday
with harry, mark and john

satellite's gone up to the skies
things like that drive me out of my mind
i watched it for a little while
i like to watch things on TV

(first time i heard this was as a young wet behind the ear bugger, in the vu boxset peel slowly & see. i gravitated to it and listened repetitively. didn't take drugs, but found it as a suitable drug. finally heard the lou reed transformer version when i was closer to 30s. somehow never got into the solo work until i was clear of my twenties. such lovely music. i think the beck cover is quite nice too. those fuckers in the background sure can sing, same with the transformer version. unreal business it is)
