Some Kinda Love

Velvet Underground · Chronicles [2007]

Some kinds of love

Marguerita told Tom

Between thought and expression lies a lifetime

Situations arise because of the weather

and no kinds of love

are better than others



Some kinds of love

Marguerita told Tom

like a dirty French novel

combines the absurd with the vulgar

and some kinds of love

the possibilites are endless

and for me to miss one

would seem to be groundless



I heard what you said

Marguerita heard Tom

And of course you're a bore

but at that you're not charmless

'cause a bore is a straight line

that finds a wealth in division

and some kinds of love

are mistaken for vision

la-de-ta-ta-ta



Put jelly on your shoulder

Let us do what you fear most

That from which you recoil

but which still makes your eyes moist



Put jelly on your shoulder, baby

lie down upon the carpet

between thought and expression

let us now kiss the culprit

(Moving on..)



I don't know just what it's all about (tell ya somethin')

Put on your red pajamas and find out
