Sister Ray

Cada uno tenemos canciones que nos son especiales. Una de las que me han perseguido toda la vida es este Sister Ray que apareció en 1968 en el White Light/White Heat de la Velvet Underground.

Yo debí de conocerla dos o tres años después, junto a los Stooges, MC5 y otras bandas con sonidos estremecedores. Sister Ray, en particular, era una apisonadora, un viaje por un túnel interminable lleno de chirridos metálicos. Sister Ray era una iluminación.

Doug and Sally inside They cookin' for the Down Pipe Who's staring at Miss Rayon Who's busy licking off her Pig Pen I'm searching for my mainline I said I couldn't hit it sideways I said I couldn't hit it sideways Aw just like Sister Ray said Whip it on.

Rosie and Miss Rayon They're busy waiting for her booster Who just got back from Carolina She said she didn't like the weather They're busy waiting for her sailor Who's big and dressed in pink and leather He's just here from Alabama He wants to know a way to earn a dollar I'm searching for my mainer I said I couldn't hit it sideways I couldn't hit it sideways Aw just like Sister Ray said Lay it on him.

Luego vendría aquella versión de Joy Division inolvidable, en directo en su lp Still:

Cecil's got his new piece He cocks it shoots it between three and four He aims it at the sailor Shoots him down dead on the floor Oh you shouldn't do that Don't you know you'll stain the carpet Now don't you know you'll stain the carpet And by the way have you got a dollar On no man I haven't got the time-time To busy sucking on a ding-dong She's busy sucking on my ding-dong Oh she does just like Sister Ray said I'm searching for my mainline I said c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways I said c-c-c-c-c-c-couldn't hit it sideways Ah do it do it just su-su-su-suck That's ju-ju-just excellente Oh!

Now who is that knocking Who's knocking at my chamber door Now could it be the police They come and take me for a ride-ride Oh but I haven't got the time-time Hey hey hey she's busy sucking on my ding-dong She's busy sucking on my ding-dong Aw now do it just like Sister Ray said I'm searching for my mainline I couldn't hit it sideways I couldn't hit it sideways Oh now just like Oh just like Ah just like Ah just like Oh just like Oh just like.

Suicide hizo también una versión. En su estilo. Agónico y brutal. Ese Ghost Rider... Pero no se puede insertar. Así que pondremos la de Sisters of Mercy.

Doug and Sally inside Now move it along Cookin' for the Down Pipe Who's staring at Miss Rayon Do it do it do it do it do it do it Who's licking off Pig Pen I'm s-s-s-searching for my mainline I couldn't hit is sideways I couldn't hit it sideways Just like Oh just like Do it do it do it Just like Just like Just like.

Now Rosie and Miss Rayon They busy waiting for her booster She's just back from Carolina She said she's bound to beat a sailor I said she haven't got the time-time You're busy sucking on my ding-dong You busy sucking on my ding-dong Now just like Sister Ray said I'm searching for my mainline I said I couldn't hit it sideways Whip it on me Jim Whip it on me Jim Whip it on me Jim Whip it on me Jim Said I couldn't hit it sideways Oh do it now just like Just like Sister Ray said.

Y ¿que tal estas dos versiones de Lou Reed y The Pantano Boas?

I said now Cecil's got his new piece He cocks it shoots it bang between three and four He aims it at the sailor He shoots him down dead on the floor Oh you shouldn't do that Don't you know you'll hit the carpet Don't you know you'll mess the carpet. Oh she hasn't got the time-time Busy sucking on his ding-dong She's busy sucking on his ding-dong Now just like Sister Ray said I'm searching for my mainline Couldn't hit it sideways Couldn't hit it sideways And just like And just like And just like S-Sister Ray said Now do it to him.

Doug and Sally inside They're busy cooking for the Down Pipe Who's staring at Miss Rayon Busy licking off her Pig Pen I'm busy searching for my mainline I said I couldn't hit it sideways I said I couldn't hit it sideways Now just like Now just like I said ah-uh Just like Amph-ph-ph-ph-phetimine.
