Images Lyrics by John Cale

Images Lyrics

    Words and music: lou reed & john cale

    I think images are worth repeating
    Images repeated from a painting
    Images taken from a painting
    From a photo worth re-seeing
    I love images worth repeating, project them upon the ceiling
    Multiply them with silk screening
    See them with a different feeling
    Images
    Images
    Images
    Images

    Some say images have no feeling, i think there's a deeper meaning
    Mechanical precision or so it's seeming
    Instigates a cooler feeling
    I love multiplicity of screenings
    Things born anew display new meanings
    I think images are worth repeating and repeating and repeating

    I'm no urban idiot savant spewing paint without any order
    I'm no sphinx, no mystery enigma
    What i paint is very ordinary
    I don't think i'm old or modern, i don't think i think i'm thinking
    It doesn't matter what i'm thinking
    It's the images that are worth repeating
    Images
    Images
    Images
    Images

    If you're looking for a deeper meaning, i'm as deep as this high ceiling
    If you think technique is meaning, you might find me very simple
    You might think that images boring
    Cars and cans and chairs and flowers
    You might find me personally boring
    Hammer, sickle, mao tse tong, mao tse tong -
    I think that it bears repeating the images upon the ceiling
    I love images worth repeating and repeating and repeating
    Images
    Images
    Images
    Images
