Style It Takes

Words and music: lou reed & john cale



You've got the money, i've got the time

You want your freedom, make your freedom mine

'cause i've got the style it takes

And money is all that it takes

You've got connexions and i've got the art

You like my attention and i like your looks

And i have the style it takes and you know the people it takes

Why don't you sit right over there, we'll do a movie portrait

I'll turn the camera on and i won't even be there

A portrait that moves, you look great i think

I'll put the empire state building on your wall

For 24 hours glowing on your wall

Watch the sun rise above it in your room

Wallpaper art, a great view

I've got a brillo box and i say it's art

It's the same one you can buy at any supermarket

'cause i've got the style it takes

And you've got the people it takes

This is a rock group called the velvet underground

I show movies on them

Do you like their sound

'cause they have a style that grates and i have art to make

Let's do a movie here next week

We don't have sound but you're so great

You don't have to speak

You've got the style it takes (kiss)

You've got the style it takes (eat)

You've got the style it takes (couch)

You've got the style it takes (kiss)
