The Fatima Mansions - Lady Godiva`s Operation слова песни
(Lyrics / Music--Lou Reed) Published by MGM Music([???])("Get your fingers in.")Lady Godiva, dressed so demurelypats the head of another curly-haired boyA spurting pink toySick with silence, she weeps sincerelySaying words that have all so clearly been said ("You will do--")so long ago ("--what I tell you.")[...]Here today now and dipped in the waterMaking love to every poor daughter`s sonIsn`t it fun?"Doctor is coming," the nurse thinks SWEETLYTurning on the machines that NEATLY PUMPS AIR("Make the incision at the base of the skull.")The body lies bare("I want you to think of me as someone you can come to with your problems.")Shaved and hairless, what once was SCREAMINGnow lies silent and almost sleepingThe brain must have got awayStrapped securely to the white tableBeneath the gauze the body will wither and writheunderneath the white lightDoctor arrives with knife and baggageSees the growth as just so much cabbage ("Take the bone saw--")that must now be cut away ("--and cut around the perimeter.")Now comes the moment of great, great decisionDoctor is making the first incisionOne goes here and one goes there"Ether tubes are leaking", says someone who`s sloppyPatient, it seems, is not so well sleepingThe screams echo up the hallDon`t panic, someone give him pentathol instantlyDoctor removes the blade cagily so from the brainBy my count of ten--the head won`t move("And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen--the human brain.")Haaaaa!! Here we go, everybody!!All you fucking bastards!! Yeah!! Haha!!Oh, oh, Lady GodivaMy queen of the killing floorOh, oh, Lady Godiva[...?] in a butcher storeLa la la la la...
