Ha pasado el tiempo y sigue emocionándome, pero ahora me parece un himno de derrotados, porque sé lo que significa, de verdad, "everybody had to pay and pay."
Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
Candy came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was given head
She said, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls go, doo doo doo, doo ...
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York city is the place where they said:
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I Said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that dash
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls say doo doo doo, doo ...
"She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side..."

ResponderEliminarEs una canción maravillosa. Es una de las pocas que dan para ir silbando melancolía. No es fácil. Y Reed, uno de los grandes.

Lola: me alegra que compartamos (también) esta devoción. Al final con la edad nos vamos haciendo inevitablemente más y más beatos. Gracias a Dios, nuestro santoral es muy variado.
