Lou Reed - Perfect Day

Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,

And then later, when it gets dark,

We go home.

Just a perfect day,

Feed animals in the zoo

Then later, a movie, too,

And then home.



Oh it's such a perfect day,

I'm glad I spent it with you.

Oh such a perfect day,

You just keep me hanging on,

You just keep me hanging on.



Just a perfect day,

Problems all left alone,

Weekenders on our own.

It's such fun.

Just a perfect day,

You made me forget myself.

I thought I was someone else,

Someone good.



Oh it's such a perfect day,

I'm glad I spent it with you.

Oh such a perfect day,

You just keep me hanging on,

You just keep me hanging on.



You're going to reap just what you sow,

You're going to reap just what you sow,

You're going to reap just what you sow,

You're going to reap just what you sow...

Thought she sang it very well...its a lovely song.

[Katrina]

thanks Daisy

did she sing the entire song?

it seemed to fit with the scenes it was played over. Eva was fab.

[iris]

it is a very sad song. some people take it as a love song by mistake, but i find it a very sad and not so optimistic one. still beautiful, of course.

[Katrina]

i didn't really pay attention to the lyrics. i just noticed the nice singing

[Katrina]

woah that song is depressing, they used it in Holby City today and wow..

Kirsty MacColl has recorded it as well.
It's a lovely version.

[iris]

right! it is also on the wonderful tripple collection.

but she did it as a duet with someone i didn't recognise. when wife comes back from turin (work meeting, she celebrates the world and the cd is with her in ireland) she could tell us who's Kirsty's partner in this song. maybe anyone of you recognise his name.

Found this snippet..its part of a much longer article about her on this site..

I have never heard of Evan Dando.

* After a period of sporadic live work, a recording of "Perfect Day" with Evan Dando and occasional soundtrack work ('95s Mad Love), a new album drew upon her intense interest in Cuban music. "Tropical Brainstorm" in 2000 was a fine return and another new direction for a singer-songwriter who long ago proved that she could never be bound by one sound.

* In December 2000, while holidaying with her sons in Mexico, she was hit by a speedboat while scuba diving. She was 41. A memorial service was held on January 20th in central London. Stars such as Johnny Marr, Spider Stacey (The Pogues), Billy Bragg, Jools Holland, Holly Johnson, Bono and The Edge sat amongst fans, friends and family. Some fans had travelled to London from as far away as New York and Germany just to be there. Billy Bragg sang "A New England". Of her efforts in the campaign to have the US sanctions against Cuba lifted, Bragg said this was typical of her spirit. "I considered her not just a friend but also a comrade. While others just sing about issues, Kirsty always got involved", he said.

Cant believe its almost 5 years.
