Reed, Lou - The Bed Lyrics






This is the place where she lay her head
when she went to bed at night
And this is the place our children were conceived
candles lit the room brightly at night

And this is the place where she cut her wrists
that odd and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

This is the place where we used to live
I paid for it with love and blood
And these are the boxes that she kept on the shelf
Filled with her poetry and stuff

And this is the room where she took the razor
and cut her wrists that strange and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

I never would have started if I'd known
that it'd end this way
But funny thing, I'm not at all sad
that it stopped this way

This is the place where she lay her head
when she went to bed at night
And this is the place our children were conceived
candles lit the room brightly at night

And this is the place where she cut her wrists
That odd and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

Reed, Lou The Bed Comments
  1. E.... m....

    Love this album - one of his best, a masterpiece

  2. P.... M....

    The Berlin album has really stood the test of time. Just like a fine wine.. it's better with age!!

  3. c.... e....

    solo un genio pudo escribir esto

  4. C.... D....

    I lived this....and I continue to every night

  5. G.... C....

    Lou ❤

  6. d.... ....

    This could easily have been an Alice Cooper song.

    d.... ....

    Agreed...it was produced by Bob Ezrin...who worked with Alice on sevrral albums

  7. L.... M....

    That ending is so spooky <3

  8. L.... M....

    But funny thing I'm not at all sad
    That it stopped this way
    Stopped this way

    Damn, man, that's a destroyed yet sensitive man

  9. J.... G....

    Lou Reed's voice is great.
    It's between a baritone and tenor I think. Has a velvet feel to it.

    J.... G....

    Nice joke.

    J.... G....

    More like a bass/baritone. Absolutely not a tenor.

    J.... G....

    what's a baritone? what's a tenor? what's a lou reed? (my command in English is not very good.....)

  10. A.... G....

    This is the place where she lay her head
    When she went to bed at night
    And this is the place our children were conceived
    Candles lit the room at night

    And this is the place where she cut her wrists
    That odd and fateful night
    And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
    And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

    This is the place where we used to live
    I paid for it with love and blood
    And these are the boxes that she kept on the shelf
    Filled with her poetry and stuff

    And this is the room where she took the razor 
    And cut her wrists that strange and fateful night
    And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
    And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

    I never would have started if I'd known
    That it'd end this way
    But funny thing I'm not at all sad
    That it stopped this way
    Stopped this way

  11. B.... ....

    3:10 to 3:45 and far beyond.

  12. t.... s....

    è una canzone che ferma il cuore

  13. L.... H....

    If you want more macabre songs of death... Try White Noise 'The Visitation'.... Here
    https://youtu.be/MH9atqqkUuY
    .. 11 minutes of late 60s psych hauntedness...

  14. J.... /....

    The endd of the song sounds like experimental music thingy with waterphone heard faintly

  15. S.... S....

    Love those long droning vocals at the end of the song. Sounds like Lou was doing a little homage to his former bandmate John Cale on this one.

  16. c.... J....

    Yes and me idem

  17. N.... I....

    A masterpiece never quite understood

  18. g.... m....

    souvenir/ souvenir!

  19. G.... M....

    I don't want to cry, what am i doing listening to this... Again and again.

    G.... M....

    and I'm doing the same........

    G.... M....

    Maybe you just needed to

    Oh, what a feelin

  20. �.... ....

    feels like suicide

  21. C.... F....

    looks like bono's voice :P

    C.... F....

    Not insult Lou...

    C.... F....

    Boner could never sing like this....

  22. j.... t....

    Well that was depressing!

    j.... t....

    But in a good Melancholic way

    j.... t....

    well, you know, suicide songs generally are. You could try I Love You Suzanne if you'd prefer happy Lou?

  23. B.... B....

    Was this album recorded in a church?

    B.... B....

    Leo Cachero no

  24. J.... J....

    Such an uplifting song!

  25. V.... P....

    I'm Not usually influenced by songs emotionally. But Dang, this has me bawling

    V.... P....

    as you get older more hurts ... x

  26. B.... C....

    with all intent

  27. b.... ....

    Terrible in the sense of almost unbearable because of the beauty of the melody entwined with such a tragic story. I still wonder why Lou wrote ' oh, oh such a feeling!'

    b.... ....

    That's what's so scary about this song, he's not just feeling grief, but relief.

    b.... ....

    "but funny thing; im not at all sad that it stopped this way"

    b.... ....

    It's actually 'what a feeling'

    b.... ....

    what means a lot, although such would mean the same in this context. meaning  it was f emotional .these guys were inundated with opiates perhaps alchohol too. I love lou reed man
    men of good fortune .

  28. F.... S....

    Cuando se publicó originalmente en España faltaba la canción The Kids. Aún me gusta más ahora que entonces. Creo que no tuvo muchas ventas.

  29. E.... A....

    I love this album, and all I can say is "oh oh oh oh what a feeeling"

    E.... A....

    me too. You're 2 ohs short for the full feeling. }

  30. L.... F....

    qué tema! te llega a los huesos..
