Artist/Band: Lou Reed
Lyrics for Song: Tatters
Lyrics for Album: Ecstacy Album [2000]



Some couples live in harmony

some do not

Some couples yell and scream

some do not



But what you said was something

that I can't forget

It echoes in my head

like a bullet made of lead



Some people yell and scream

and some do not

Some people sacrifice their lives

and some do not



Some people wait for sleep

to take them away

While others read books endlessly

hoping problems will go away



I know you're hoping everything

works out

Neither one of us is

the type who shouts



You sleep in the bedroom

while I pace up and down the hall

Our baby stares at both of us

wondering which one of us to call



I guess it's true that not

every match burns bright

I guess it's true

not all that I say is right



But what you said still bounces

around in my head

Who thought this could happen to us

when we first went to bed



I'm told in the end

that none of this matters

All couples have troubles

and none of this matters



But what you said

still echoes in my head

And I'm still in the hallway

downstairs sleeping alone instead



I know you don't care

but here's my last thought

Not that it matters

but here's the last thing I thought



Our little thing is lying

here in tatters

And you my dear

don't have any manners



Sad to leave this way

to leave it all in tatters

Saddening to leave this way

to leave it all in tatters

I suppose that we all could say

that nothing of it matters

Still it's sad

to see everything in tatters
