True story about Alan Vega, legendary 70’s protopunk rockstar and notoriously lazy lyricist, bumping into John Moore (The Jesus and Mary Chain, Black Box Recorder) and taking him to his hotel room in Gramercy Park to sing him all his new songs, bouncing up and down on the bed in his underpants.
[Verse 1]
Alan Vega says, as he gets up off the bed
I'm gonna freeform some lyrics, man
Straight outta my head
Marilyn and Elvis
And a Chevy '69
I've heard it all before
But I don't mind
[Chorus]
And Alan Vega says
It's gonna be a great big hit
If Alan Vega says so, then
It probably is
I'm too lazy
To write my own melody
Here's a tune I borrowed
From the tvp's
Alan Vega says
Alan Vega says
Ah you see we're up in the...
[Verse 2]
Chelsea Hotel
And it's getting late
He's got another song he wants to sing
And it's all about Sharon Tate
If notoriety is all that you're after
Then get out of the church of repetition man
Cause you're interrupting a master
[Chorus]
But Alan Vega says
It's gonna be a great big hit
If Alan Vega says so, then
It probably is
I'm too lazy
To write my own melody
Here's a tune I borrowed
From the tvp's
Alan Vega says
Alan Vega says
Oh baby
[Chorus / Outro]
Alan on the ceiling
Alan up the wall
He's a bopping and a crooning
Like a new wave Elvis
And is rolling around on the floor
I'm too lazy
To write my own melody
Here's a tune i borrowed
From the tvp's
