I was talking to Betty about her auditions

how they made her ill

The life of the theater is certainly fraught

with many spills and chills

But she calmed down after some wine

which is what happens most of the time

Then we sat and both spoke in rhyme

Till we spoke of Lorraine

ah, it's always back to Lorraine

I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead

by mutual friends

He thought it was funny that I had no money

to spend on him

So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese

and sang of our lives and our dreams

And how things can come apart at the seams

And we talked of Lorraine

always back to Lorraine

She's a wild child

oh, and nobody can get at her

She's a wild child

oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleeping out on the street

Oh, living all alone

without a house or a home

and then she asked you, please

oh baby, can I have some spare change

Now can I break your heart

She's a wild child

she's a wild child

"Wild Child"

===============================

album _Le Bataclan '72_

(Lou Reed/John Cale/Nico, 2003)

Jan 29, 1972

Le Bataclan, Paris, France

===============================

I was talking to Chuck in his Ghengis Khan suit

and his wizard's hat

We were talking about the movie he made

and his new soundtrack

Then we talked about kids on the coast

and different kinds of organic soap

And the way suicides don't leave notes

Then we talked about Lorraine

it always gets back to Lorraine

I was talking to Phil, he was addicted to pills

and small racing cars

He'd given 'em up since his last crack-up

had carried him too far

Then we spoke of rhythm and verse

about the different ways an actress can hold her purse

And the way life at times could get worse

Then we talked 'bout Lorraine

it always comes down to Lorraine

She's a wild child

and nobody can get at her

She's a wild child

woh, nobody can get to her

Sleeping out on the street

Woh, living all alone

without a house or a home

and then she asked you, hey please

hey baby, can I have some spare change

Can I break your heart

She's a wild child

she's a wild child

I was..

I was talking to Betty about her auditions

somehow they made her so ill

You know that life of the theater is certainly fraught

with many spills and chills, ah

Then she settled down after some wine

which is what happens most of the time

Then we both sat and spoke in rhyme

Till we'll be back to Lorraine

it always gets back to Lorraine

I'd been talking to Ed who'd been reported dead

by some mutual friends

He thought it was funny that I had no money

to spend on him

Then we sat down and ate some sweet cheese

and talked about our lives and our dreams

And the way things can come apart at the seams

Then we talked about Lorraine

it always gets back to Lorraine, oh

She's a wild child

yeah, nobody can get at her

She's a wild child

and nobody can get to her

Sleeping out on the streets

Woh, living all alone

without a house or a home

then she asked you, hey please

baby, can I have some spare change

Can I break your heart

She's a wild child

she's a wild child

She's a wild child

there is no speed correction

and the whole recording is too slow (6%)

as compared with the French TV broadcast.
