John Cale - Broken Hearts (Live)

Paris 1919 (Live) - Live Zeche Bochum, 1984

She makes me so unsure of myself
Standing there but never ever talking sense
Just a visitor you see
So much wanting to be seen
Coming through the door and vaguely carry us away

It's the customary thing to say or do
To a disappointed, proud man in his grief
And on Fridays she'd be there
But on Mondays not at all
Casually appearing from the clock across the hall

You're a ghost la-la-la-la-la-la-da-la-la
You're a ghost la-la-la-la-la-la-da-la-la
I'm the church and I've come
To claim you with my iron drum
La-la-da-la-la-la-la-la-la

Continent's just fallen in disgrace
William, William, William Rogers put it in its place
Blood and tears from old Japan
Caravans and lots of jam and maids of honor
Singing crying singing tediously

You're a ghost la-la-la-la-la-la-da-la-la
You're a ghost la-la-la-la-la-la-da-la-la
I'm the bishop and I've come
To claim you with my iron drum
La-la-da-la-da-la-la-la-la

Efficiency, efficiency they say
Get to know your job and tell the time of day
As the crowds begin complaining
How the Beaujolais is raining
Down on darkened meetings on the Champs Élysée

You're a ghost la-la-la-la-la-la-da-la-la
You're a ghost la-la-la-la-la-la-da-la-la
I'm the church and I've come
To claim you with my iron drum
La-la-la-da-la-la

You're a ghost la-la-la-la-la-la-da-la-la
You're a ghost la-la-la-la-da-la-la-la-la
I'm the church and I've come
To claim you with my iron drum
La-la-da-la-la-la-la-la-la

Thank you very much
