Lou Reed - Stupid Man Lyrics






Stupid man, hitch-hiking out of a good life
in Saskatchewan
And he thinks he's got big-big planes
gonna build a house upon some land

Oh Casey, don't it make you crazy
oh, when you're living all alone by that damp water
Oh Casey, don't it make you crazy
when you're living all alone by those still waters

Please say hello, please say hello
to my little baby daughter
Oh Casey, tell her that her father's gonna be coming home
so soon, so soon to see her

Well I'm shooting down the turnpike
with a driver doing ninety-five or maybe
more don't you think he's loaded drunk
or that he thinks that life's a bore
Casey, oh Casey, don't you know how it makes me so damn crazy
living all alone by those waters

But please say hello, but please say hello
to my little baby daughter
Please, please, won't you just give her a great big kiss
then tell her that her stupid daddy will be coming home soon

Oh Casey, oh Casey, don't you know I make me so damn crazy
when I was living there all alone by those still waters
But please tell, please tell my baby-baby-baby daughter
that I'm tied up now, but I'll be home soon
and I'll be the daddy that I oughta

Please say hello, oh Casey, please say hello
from a stupid man
Still my little baby daughter a big-big-big kiss
and tell her that her daddy will be coming home soon
But Casey, don't you know I make me so damn crazy
when I was living there all alone
But won't you please give my, give my baby daughter
a great big stupid kiss
and tell her that her stupid father will be coming home soon
Stupid man

    What's Lou trying to do here? Doing The Bowie??

  2. D.... M....

    The Bells is my fave album along with a few others. So many great songs here. I love it equal to his other albums. I think it's because I was doing my most daring experiments of altering states between 76 and 81

  3. n.... ....

    I love Nils Lofgrens influence on this LP

  4. W.... M....

    Ear plugs

    Ate Sempre Lou

    Best song since I am 9 years old.

    On first hearing this, I thought the stupid man was leaving behind a good life in Saskatchewan, an implausible line, but in the lyrics it's actually "he says, 'catch you when'".

    M.... P....

    me too wuut ahahah thank you

    M.... P....

    whoever wrote out these lyrics seriously needs to get their ears cleaned out. He IS saying "In Saskatchewan"- that's funny, and makes sense, even though it's abstract. You can clearly hear he's not saying "catch you when"- that makes no sense either, even in an abstract way.. Some people are clueless, and just because someone writes something out online, and other people follow them, doesn't mean they're right...
