Lyrics
Song For Nico
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Born in 1938
A good year for the Reich.
She could not participate
She didn't have the right.
For she was fatherless in the Fatherland.
Now it's 1966
Andrew's up to all his tricks.
And when Brian Jones is near
Nico doesn't feel so queer;
She's in the shit, though she's innocent -
Yesterday is gone,
There's just today - No tomorrow.
Yesterday is gone,
There's just today - No more...
Now it's Andy Warhol's time
Mystic 60's on a dime.
Though she kinda likes Lou Reed -
She doesn't really have the need.
Already in the shit, though she's innocent.
And now she doesn't know
What it is she wants
And where she wants to go
And will Delon be still a cunt.
Yes, she's in the shit, though she is innocent.
Yesterday is gone
There's just today
No tomorrow.
Yesterday is gone
There's just today
No more.
Yesterday is gone
There's just today
No tomorrow.
Yesterday is gone
There's just today
No more.
