NEW AGE
(Lou Reed)
The Velvet Underground


Version 1


Can I have your autograph
He said to the fat blonde actress
You know I’ve seen every movie you’ve been in
From paths of pain to jewels of glory
And when you kissed robert mitchum
Gee but I thought you’d never catch him

Over the hill right now
And you’re looking for love
You’re over the hill right now
And you’re looking for love
I’ll come running to you honey when you want me
I’ll come running to yoy honey when you want me

Can I have your autograph
He said to the fat blonde actress
You know I know everything you’ve done
Anyway I hate divorces
To the left is a marble shower
It was fun even for an hour

Your’re over the hill right now
And you’re looking for love
You’re over the hill right now
And you’re looking for love
I’ll come running to you honey when you want me
I’ll come running to you honey when you want me

Something’s got a hold on me
And I don’t know what

Something’s got a hold on me
And I don’t know what

It’s the beginning of a new age
It’s the beginning of a new age

It’s a new age

Version 2


Waiting for the phone to ring
Diamond necklace on my shoulder
Waiting for the phone to ring
Lipstick on my naked shoulder
It seems to be my fancy to make it with
Franky and sue ann

Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
I’ll come running to you, hey baby if you want me
I’ll come running to you, baby if you want me

Looking at my hands today
Look to me that they’re made of ivory
I had a funny call today
Someone died and someone married
You know that it’s my fancy to make it with
Franky and sue ann

Over the bridge they go
Looking for love
Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
I’ll come running to you, hey baby if you want me
I’ll come running to you, baby if you want me

Something’s got a hold on me
And I don’t know what

Something’s got a hold on me
And I don’t know what

It’s the beginning of a new age
It’s the beginning of a new age

It’s new age
