Lou Reed - New Sensations Lyrics

My favorite recovery song

Lou's BEST Album....in my humble OP!

I miss you man you always know how to change my mood with pure soul rock.I.P lou

Such a great song. Sometimes I take long drives just to get lost.

his best

Come away with a real film /geography/history lesson in you head after Lou's lyrics/songwriting GENIUS storyteller/poet 😁👍

I had to come here to get away from the live version

Pretty much copied by The Grateful Dead three years later for Hell in Bucket.
Listen and tell me if I'm wrong.

Yep.  You're way wrong.  Hell in a Bucket was first played on 5/13/83. 
Now, do not EVER bring varsity level Grateful Dead into a JV Lou Reed discussion.  Poseur.

@Sean Dewalt Did you actually LISTEN and compare? Ok, maybe Lou heard the Dead play it. Or maybe Lou was playing it before then. Or maybe they both magically came up the songs at around the same time. The point is the songs sound very similar and have the same subject matter. Relax dude. No one is going to court. . . . Fans are so fuckin defensive.

This is Lou kind of saying despite all that went before he's is finally appreciating being just a regular guy....

Big Lou!

Gosh did I love ❤️ this album still do

“And get rid of those people who are always on a down “ I love ❤️ LR

One of the great motorcycle songs

Lou Reed rules!

Loved every song on this album. Drove my parents crazy listening to it.

I like the way he says "Coke."

This song means a lot to me
Thanks Lou you were a fantastic artist !

Ride your own ride and to hell with what anyone else thinks !!

Takes me back to when I worked a delivering calor gas (butane/propane) when I was supposed to be at school (30 odd year ago). Cutting about Glasgow, Scotland with Big Mick, smoking a spliff and occasionally having to avoid getting robbed.... great learning curve, learnt a lot - good times!!

Even an average Lou Reed song is beautiful because Lou Reed is singing on it.

I love this song it is part of my child hood

That bass...

Stole my comment

Fernando Saunders is one of my favourite bass players, I have been trying to emulate his style for a long time, his ability to play so melodically while at the same time keep something of an ostinato going, and on a fretless bass of all things, is just so awe inspiring

Fernando, yeah he is great.

Anyone have the tab?

That guitar 🎸 !

I love this song. Made me live everyday

Lovely <3

1984 my first time in USA travelling with ho all' the time

I have to thank my friend Christy for this one, its nearly perfect...x

The only way that it could be perfect is if it never ended I'm sure

Yeah, buy her dinner

My new favorite Lou Reed song

Mine too :)

Hard to pick a favorite. So many legendary songs. What a brilliant artist

Definitely!

It's really close because this record mattered in my youth. It still means so much.

Thank you Jerry Drake

I would like to thank everybody, that had a GPZ, or similar, between they're thighs..I don't think a burger and Coke person, would be so passionate,,,I already know I'm wrong..im joking...Unbelievable Classic..just discovered....

Such a "cool" feel to this. One of my faves by him. Never tire of hearing it.

really nice chord changes, right? And the guitar parts are sweet

Yea and that bass...how great is that?

Driving at night on the motorway song

hell fuckin yeah

Oh yes...just perfect for that.

What a way to end Red Oaks! Love, Love, Love Lou Reed!!!!

The credits are still rolling and I am going to miss all of my summer time friends.

RIP Lou and Red Oaks.

Fucking amazing

LOU REED - New Sensations

I don't like guilt be it stoned or stupid
drunk and disorderly I ain't no cupid
Two years ago today I was arrested on Christmas Eve

I don't want pain, I want to walk not be carried
I don't want to give it up, I want to stay married
I ain't no dog tied to a parked car

Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, new sensations

Talkin' 'bout some new sensations
Talkin' 'bout some new sensations

I want the principles of a timeless muse
I want to eradicate my negative views
And get rid of those people who are always on a down

It's easy enough to tell what is wrong
but that's not what I want to hear all night long
Some people are like human tuinals

Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, ooohhh, new sensations

Talkin' 'bout some new sensations
Talkin' a new sensations

I took my GPZ out for a ride
the engine felt good between my thighs
The air felt cool, it's was forty degrees outside

I rode to Pennsylvania near the Delaware Gap
sometimes I got lost and had to check the map
I stopped at a roadside diner for a burger and a coke

There were some country folk and some hunters inside
somebody got themselves married and somebody died
I went to the juke box and played a hillbilly song

They was arguing about football as I waved and went outside
and I headed for the mountains feeling warm inside
I love that GPZ so much, you know that I could kiss her

Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, ooohhh, new sensations

Talkin' 'bout your new sensations
Talkin' new sensations

Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, new sensations

"Two years ago today I was arrested on Christmas Eve"

I really like this song, but that line doesn't work at all.

Yeah it makes perfect sense in the Lou Reed world ;)
But the lyrics: I don't want to give it up, I want to stay married
I ain't no dog tied to a parked car.
Is wrong, it should say; I dont want to stay married, i guess its a misprint check out his live shows, he always sing; I dont want to stay married.

I've often think how great this record is... almost a forgotten piece of Lou's legacy.   The drum machine makes me cringe at times, but I guess Lou was messing around with us by showing that the digital age was coming to fruition, whether we like it or not.

any way lets just crack another cheers man

I don't know why Lou Reed would think this was something we needed him to show us, but also, that's not a drum machine, although I guess it's supposed to sound like one, yeah.

I do really like the song though.

Drum machine be damned. This is all about Fernando Saunders.

I know what you mean about the drum machine, but you're gonna just have to take your purist side out for an afternoon spa session and just enjoy what you rightly described as an almost forgotten piece of work. Well it was the eighties. Lol.😂

The drum machine is great.
This is similar to Donald Fagen Nightfly

ahh i love my gpz 1100 such a beautiful old thing

I loved my 900 Z1 so much.

Those gpz's were beautiful pure beasts
