FUCK YESAmazing to think that David Johansen's mid-life crisis consisted of being a lounge singer.

The lyrics sites have really mangled this one. Then again, I'm not sure I know a single Dolls lyric by heart start to finish.

Me neither. Never was sure in "Trash" whether he was saying "don't pick it up" or "mmm, pick it up"

I got this one from the horse's mouth -- david johansen at an instore:
Well we can't take her this weekAnd her friends all want another speechHoping for her that somedayThey'll hear what she's got to say
That third line is the one that always gets mangled. After he told me, steve conte was all that's what you're saying?

A veritable public service! Thanx!
I've heard a billion variations on this:
"Now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says"
I'm assuming it's "crossing fate" but I don't even know what that means.

Favorite line is the one about the "Milano street"

Well we can't take her this week...Hoping for her that someday
damn, i've been listening to this song for decades, and never noticed "her" in either line. figured it was "take-uh this week" and "hoping for a better day".

"now with all the trust and faith that mother nature sends"

Before this post I'd only ever heard the Orange Juice cover of this song. I like this version!

Good thing I found that clip or this would have just ended up as a rejected parody thread.
