These Days

Nico - These Days
(Every lyric in the song is relatable in one way or another to me at the moment.)

I’ve been out walking
I don’t do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

I’ve stopped my rambling,
I don’t do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I’ll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don’t think I’ll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It’s just that I’ve been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I’ve stopped my dreaming,
I won’t do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don’t confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

Nico - Chelsea Girls

Here’s Room 506
It’s enough to make you sick
Bridget’s all wrapped up in foil
You wonder if she can uncoil.

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here’s Room 115
Filled with S & M queens
Magic marker row
You wonder just high they go.

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here’s Pope dear Ondine
Rona’s treated him so mean
She wants another scene
She wants to be a human being.

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Pepper she’s having fun
She thinks she’s some man’s son
Her perfect love’s don’t last
Her future died in someone’s past.

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Dear Ingrid’s found her lick
She’s turned another trick
Her treats and times revolve
She’s got problems to be solved

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Poor Mary, she’s uptight
She can’t turn out her light
She rolled Susan in a ball
And now she can’t see her at all

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Dropout, she’s in a fix,
Amphetamine has made her sick
White powder in the air
She’s got no bones and can’t be scared

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here comes Johnny Bore,
He collapsed on the floor
They shot him up with milk
And when he died sold him for silk

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

The Fairest Of The Seasons

The Fairest Of The Seasons - Nico

Now that I smile
Now that I’m laughing even deeper inside
Now that I see
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
It’s now I know
Do I stay or do I go?
And it is finally I decide
That I’ll be leaving
In the fairest of the seasons
