NEW YORK DOLLS : VIETNAMESE BABY (1973)

Στο πλαίσιο πάντα του (post) punk αφιερώματός μας, ένα pro-punk αντι-πολεμικό anthem από τους New York Dolls, πρωτοπόρους του punk μαζί με τους Stooges και τους MC5 και …παρά λίγο Sex Pistols στη θέση των Sex Pistols (ο Malcolm McLaren, μάνατζερ των Dolls εν έτει 1975, είχε “μεγάλα σχέδια” γι’ αυτούς, τα οποία δεν ευοδώθηκαν)

Always in the context of our (post) punk tribute, a pro-punk, anti-war anthem from New York Dolls, punk pioneers along with The Stooges and MC5 and …Sex Pistols instead of the Sex Pistols by a whisker (Malcolm McLaren, manager of the Dolls in 1975, had “big plans” for them, which did not come to fruition).

When I’m getting home to you
I gotta show you what I can do
But everything connects and that ain’t nowhere
Well, but maybe they’re just giving you all you’ve ever wanted
And maybe you never ever know what that was
And maybe you’re just finding it out now
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
Technology satellite, well
What’s wrong today and why was
Everyone so busy they’ve forgotten why they’re playing
That he said, what’s wrong today is what wrong with you
You’re so solid, busy solid, that’s all you do
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
Your pretty little mind
Catch me your slaves, shot at
Every riffle on the way and I gotta
Show you more mustard gas than any girl ever seen
Since I been blasted, I’ve been blown, I’ve been backing away
You’ve got to back it away
You’ve got to take a search of values, yeah
But I’ve got a concert out to play
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
Your pretty little mind
Your pretty little mind
When I’m getting home to you
I’ve got to show you what I can do
But everything connects and that ain’t nowhere
No no no baby no nowhere
It just won’t give a no
I’m talking about your overture
Talking bout your overture
Got to shout about your overture
Now that it’s over, now that it’s over
Now that it’s over, what ya gonna do?
