Lou Reed - Goodnight Ladies Lyrics






Goodnight ladies
ladies goodnight
It's time to say
goodbye, let me tell you, now

Goodnight ladies
ladies goodnight
It's time to say
goodbye

Now, all night long
you've been drinking your tequilla
But now you've sucked
your lemon peel dry, so why not get high, high, high and
Goodnight ladies
ladies goodnight

Goodnight ladies
ah, ladies goodnight
It's time to say
goodbye

Goodnight sweet ladies
ah, ladies goodnight
It's time to say
goodbye, bye-bye

Ah, we've been together
for the longest time
But now it's time to get high
come on, let's get high, high, high
And goodnight ladies
ladies goodnight

Oh, I'm still missing my other half
oh, it must be something I did in the past
Don't it just make you wanna laugh
it's a lonely Saturday night

Oh, nobody calls me on the telephone
I put another record on my stereo
But I'm still singing a song of you
it's a lonely Saturday night

Now, if I was an actor
or a dancer who is glamorous
then, you know, amorous life would soon be mine
But now the tinsel light of star break
is all that's left to applaud my heart break
and eleven o'clock I watch the network news

Oh, woh, woh, something tells me that you're really gone
you said we could be friends
but that's not what's not what I want
Ah, anyway, my TV-dinner's almost done
it's a lonely Saturday night
I mean to tell you, it's a lonely Saturday night
One more word, it's a lonely Saturday night

    Garbage.

    Есть кто из России?

  28. J.... N....

    One of the greatest song writers of all time. Love u Lou

  29. T.... K....

    If you like this, check out the cover I did on my channel.

  30. M.... F....

    Lou reed is such an overrated, no talent hack.

    M.... F....

    He's actually under-rated, has bags of talent and didn't get on well with hacks at all.

    M.... F....

    OMG you have no taste. one of the greatest talent. go for top 40 music

    M.... F....

    Magnus Fullauto explain why you think that? Most musicians, especially well versed and knowledgeable ones are inspired by him, including myself. I’ve noticed that the few people who don’t like him don’t perform for a living, or at all.

  31. F.... T....

    I love the tuba! it really captures the emotion.

  32. F.... ....

    I've always wondered what the song Tom and his friends used to sing was.

  33. R.... N....

    lou reed meets Woody Allen

  34. P.... ....

    Miss you Lou.

  35. C.... K....

    This song likely accompanies "Make Up" because of the tired brass band feel. A lonely man returns home after a night of being a reluctant drag act, mourns the woman who left him with his only company being drugs and a tv dinner.

  36. V.... P....

    Yeah, it's a lonely saturday night...

  37. h.... ....

    It's a lonely Saturday night...

    h.... ....

    A month later ... the same.

    h.... ....

    at least you got sunday morning...

    h.... ....

    Honkycat: haciendo arte! So why not get high...... Sorry there's a little bit of Lou in us all.....

  38. g.... ....

    There's something about this song that just gets to me, it's seemingly so simple, but it captures loneliness and longing in a way few other things do. Thanks Lou, goodnight.

  39. m.... ....

    This hit from Lou Reed was heard on the Miami Vice episode, The Prodigal Son, which aired on September 27, 1985. Miami Vice was one of my favorite shows. It was the first to combine MTV with police action drama.

  40. C.... M....

    I'm sorry folks this guy cannot carry a tune in a bucket! He may be clever and artsy and all that but singer? No!

    C.... M....

    +Craig Maggard He's actually got a real jazz sensibility with his phrasing and melodies which is actually pretty hard to recreate. He has a very melodic mind and his voice does what it needs to do. Imagine if some of these songs were sung by a powerful voice, I don't think it would be as honest and wouldn't open so many peoples hearts up.

    C.... M....

    Lou's voice is incredible! It's like a close friend softly telling you a story. If you want to hear him "singing" go listen to some Velvet Underground.

    C.... M....

    +James Rodgers I was just going to call him an asshole

    C.... M....

    It's not for you.

    C.... M....

    It's not for you

  41. s.... t....

    Good nigths, ladys.

  42. b.... s....

    Every single emotion that I want to express, Lou sings for me. I love you so much Lou, you'll be inspiring minds for many generations to come. x

  43. e.... j....

    11 o'clock

  44. D.... Y....

    love this love Lou Reed xx

  45. J.... T....

    It's another lonely Saturday night for me, that is certain...

    J.... T....

    And tonight Johnny Trash?

    J.... T....

    haha loner scum

    J.... T....

    jk me too. i am oh so lone;y all i have for company is my beautiful nipples ;[

  46. Z.... F....

  53. A.... P....

    I can't think of anything more fitting

    A.... P....

    A.... P....

    @coolerkirby
    Extrapolation is your job.

    BUENAS NOCHES, SEÑORITAS

    Buenas noches, señoritas 
    señoritas, buenas noches
    es hora de decir 
    adiós…

    Buenas noches, señoritas 
    señoritas, buenas noches
    es hora de decir 
    adiós…

    Toda la noche
    habéis estado bebiéndoos vuestro tequila
    Pero ahora, habéis chupado
    la piel del limón, así que ¿por qué no ponerse ciegos, ciegos, ciegos…?
    Buenas noches, señoritas
    señoritas, buenas noches…

    Buenas noches, señoritas
    señoritas, buenas noches…
    es hora de decir 
    adiós…

    Buenas noches, dulces señoritas
    señoritas, buenas noches…
    es hora de decir
    adiós…

    Hemos estado juntos
    durante muchísimo tiempo
    Pero ahora toca ponerse ciegos,
    Venga, pongámonos ciegos, ciegos, ciegos…
    Y buenas noches, señoritas
    señoritas, buenas noches…

    Oh, sigo echando de menos a mi otra mitad
    oh, debe ser algo que hice en el pasado
    ¿no te dan ganas de echarte a reír?
    Es una noche de sábado solitaria

    Oh, nadie me llama por teléfono
    y yo pongo otro disco en mi estéreo
    Pero sigo cantando una canción sobre ti
    Es una noche de sábado solitaria

    Ahora, si yo fuese un actor
    o un bailarín glamuroso
    entonces, una vida apasionada pronto sería mía
    Pero ahora la luz de oropel de la fama perdida
    es todo lo que queda para aplaudir a mi corazón roto
    y a las once en punto veo el canal de noticias…

    Oh, woh, who, algo me dice que te has marchado para siempre
    Dijiste que podíamos ser amigos 
    pero no es eso lo que yo quiero
    Ah, de todas formas, mi cena recalentada está casi terminada
    es una noche de sábado solitaria
    Lo digo de verdad, es una noche de sábado solitaria
    Una vez más: es una noche de sábado solitaria...

    M.... B....

    that is beautiful. so melodic.

  57. i.... ....

    My hubby won me with this song as my gf and I  got up to leave (on a Sat. night) after a night of drinking tequila with lemon slices of course, he put this on, and now here we are 33 years later...thank you Lou...will always love you too!

  58. i.... ....

    I hope Broadway dims it lights on the night we say Goodnight.

  59. G.... R....

    Goodnight Ladies!

  60. J.... L....

    At least even at 71 -- Lou Reed looked good for an old rocker. RIP Lou -- you gave us many perfect days....goodnight.

  61. F.... C....

    再見 路叔叔!

  62. E.... G....

    SLEEP IN PEACE AND LIGHTS, LOU! <3 :'(

  63. T.... ....

    This is the first song I thought of when I read he passed. Goodnight, Lou. You will be missed.

  64. J.... O....

    Goodnight Lou R.I.P. X
