Polaroid Lyrics - Artist : Soft Cell
New York City, 1981
I was lost in the junkie jungle I called in to the Factory on Union Square For a Warhol introduction He saw me, and he said "Hi" And I said "Hi", and he said "Gee" And he asked me, and I asked he: A polaroid of me and he? Saw right through him, and he through me Transparent men and mannequin "Great," I said, and he said, "Gee" And that was it, and that was we He saw me, and he said "Hi" And I said "Hi", and he said "Gee" And he asked me, and I asked he: A polaroid of me and he? I've got this, erm, polaroid picture, and it just takes the face of the person, I-I haven't learned how to do the body yet, but they usually... always come out great But in my head, it all played out In a silver-foiled room at the Factory Joe Dallesandro, Candy Darling Jackie Curtis and Pope Ondine A crazy, groovy Warhol scene The Velvets playing "Heroin" And Nico danced in oil wheel lights And Lou Reed had me in his sights He saw me, and he said "Hi" And I said "Hi", and he said "Gee" And he asked me, and I asked he: A polaroid of me and he? I'm the new girl in town, and I meet Rita Hayworth, Jane Fonda, Lana Turner, Kim Novak, all the glamour girls. And I interviewed them and kept them apart, and then at the end of [?] Oh, just... well, actually, just, I try to make... try to make people look good. That's what I did New York City, 1981 I was lost in the junkie jungle Called to the Factory on Union Square For a Warhol introduction And now, if we exist at all A polaroid stuck on my wall Feel like my dreams Were really just nothing at all He saw me, and he said "Hi" And I said "Hi", and he said "Gee" And he asked me, and I asked he: A polaroid in he and me? This picture just takes a... picture of, um... just the face, and that seems to, err, I don't know, there's something about the camera that makes it look, err, make it just, um... just right. And it... it takes their head shots, it's like getting a passport picture. I, uh, y'know, take a half a picture from a picture and another picture and from... (A polaroid, polaroid, polaroid, polaroid...) I'm the new girl in town, and I meet Rita Hayworth, Jane Fonda, Lana Turner, Kim Novak, all the glamour girls It just takes the face of the person, I... I haven't learned how to do the body yet... I-I've done it, but not really. They usually always come out great |
