Walk On The Wild Side

Biography:

Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 - October 27, 2013) was an American rock artist originally from Brooklyn, New York, USA. Especially while a member of the The Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Reed broke new ground for the rock genre in several important dimensions, introducing more mature and intellectual themes to what was then considered a largely simplistic genre of music.

In 1964 Reed moved to New York City and began working as an in-house songwriter for Pickwick Records.

A hustle here and a hustle there, New York City is the place where they said
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets, lookin for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo, you should have seen him go go go
They said, hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side, I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away, thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash, Valium would have helped that dash
