Reed, Lou - Beginning Of A Great Adventure Lyrics
It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around
A little me to fill up with my thoughts
A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams
A way of saying life is not a loss
Keep him from the poison of the crowd
But then again pristine isolation might not be the best idea
It's not good trying to immortalize yourself
Beginning of a great adventure
Beginning of a great adventure
Why stop at one, I might have ten, a regular TV brood
I'd breed a little liberal army in the wood
Just like these redneck lunatics I see at the local bar
I'd teach 'em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar
And if they catch a hunter, shoot him in the nuts
I'd try to be as progressive as I could possibly be
As long as I don't have to try too much
Beginning of a great adventure
Beginning of a great adventure
Susie, Jesus, Bogart, Sam, Leslie, Jill and Jeff
Rita, Winny, Andy, Fran and Jet
Boris, Bono, Lucy, Ethel, Bunny, Reg and Tom
That's a lot of names to try not to forget
Carrie, Marlon, Mo and Steve, La Rue and Jerry Lee
Eggplant, Rufus, Dummy, Star and The Glob
I'd need a damn computer to keep track of all these names
I hope this baby thing don't go too far
I hope it's true what my wife said to me
I hope it's true what my wife said to me, hey
I hope it's true what my wife said to me
She says, "Baby, it's the beginning of a great adventure
Babe, beginning of a great adventure"
Take a look
It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around
Create in my own image like a god
I'd raise my own pallbearers to carry me to my grave
And keep me company when I'm a wizened toothless clod
Some gibbering old fool sitting all alone drooling on his shirt
Some senile old fart playing in the dirt
It might be fun to have a kid I could pass something on to
Something better than rage, pain, anger and hurt
I hope it's true what my wife said to me
I hope it's true what my wife said to me
I hope it's true what my wife said to me
She says, "Lou, it's the beginning of a great adventure
Lou, Lou, Lou, beginning of a great adventure"
She says, babe, how you call your lover boy
Sylvia, quite you call your lover man

Reed, Lou Beginning Of A Great Adventure Comments
If you play guitar, plug in, take a slug of scotch, and rip into Bflat blues. Guaranteed results 🌴
The clicking of the fingers in the background...……………………..superb.

Pick up a guitar. This is a top backing track. You're gonna sing 🌴
Love the lyric, "It's not good to immortalize yourself". Trump, have you heard this song yet?
Meraviglioso nel sounds e contenuti
Love this whole album
Who needs a fridge when Lou is around......now on another great adventure...
This song is why I never had kids. I just could never live up.
This song is why I had 30 kids.
@Ban Delay Did you raise a little liberal army in the woods?
Mutant inbred piglets with cloven hooves?
Jk
Lyrics:
"Take a look" should be "Take it, Lou."
"Sylvia, quite you call your lover man" should be "Sylvia, what do you call your lover man?"
This is just the grooviest track. Bought this album the day after I heard Dirty Boulevard and is still a towering monument to one of the greatest creative forces of the music world. Cheers Lou
I hear what ya saying.............................And I dig it.
and if you catch a hunter,shoot him in his NUTS!nice!
Forwarded this to a friend of mine getting his first kid, mighty appropriate. :-)
I try to be as progressive as I could possibly be,as long as I don't have to try too much.
Did Lou ever have a kid?
Take it Lou!
what dose he sing.... i could sleep for a thousand years, know thei feeling but in short bursts of nameless winks.
ben delrey What does your comment mean?
@Zarathustra sounds like a bit that comes after
I am tired, I am weary,
I could sleep,
For a thousand years
A thousand dreams, they would forsake? me
Cant think of the name of the song
just pour le pied...
Lou Reed is so god damn cool. It makes me anxious for some reason.
he's provoking your inner parents -- your superego. also, on another level, he's calling us to take total responsibility, which can feel like a risk...
bono lol
See you Lou
great song. Lou, you´ve found a way to immortalize yourself.
RIP
You led the way many, many times. Thanks for all the joy, happiness and contemplation. Rest in peace.
We may think Lou Reed's great adventure has come to an end today, but for Lou Reed, it's probably just beginning somewhere too cool for all of us to see. RIP LOU REED.
RIP LOOOUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uhh, thanks for the laying out the entire album but you've got some of the lyrics messed up. But most importantly, ... thanks again. This is one of my favorite's of ALL time. ~~~ PEACE!!!
Lou Reed has kids?!
