Velvet Underground, The - Cool It Down Lyrics






Somebody took the papers
And somebody's got the key
And somebody nailed the door shut
That says hey what you think that you see
But me I'm down around the corner
You know I'm lookin' for Miss Linda Lee
Because she's got the power to love me by the hour
Gives me double you L-O-V-E

Hey baby if you want it so fast
Don't you know that it ain't gonna last
Of course you know it makes no difference to me

Somebody's got the time time
Somebody's got the right
All of the other people
Tryin' to use up the night
But now me I'm out on the corner
You know I'm lookin' for Miss Linda Lee
Because she's got the power to love me by the hour
Gives me double you L-O-V-E

Ooh if you want it so fast
Don't you know honey you can get it so fast
But of course you know it makes no difference to me

Oh oh oh you'd better cool it down
You know you'd better cool it down
You know you'd better cool it down
You know you'd better cool it down

Oh hey if you want it so fast
Now lookie baby don't you want it to last
But of course you know that it makes no difference to me
Oh you'd better cool it down
You know you'd better cool it down
You know you'd better cool it down

  1. M.... R....

    It's a kind of soundtrack of the book Neuromancer, by William Gibson.

  2. A.... S....

    Never noticed the dual vocals before. The early version is great too, for the lyrics. Think I might poach some the next time I play this live.

  5. G.... A....

    Idk, i realize this is the velvet undrgrnd original, but coming here from Phish first makes it hard to hear...maybe I'm biased 😎

    G.... A....

    Greg Adams what came first, the chicken or the egg?

    G.... A....

    Staple of NYC FM radio in the seventies, along with I'm Waiting for the Man, Sweet Jane, Sister Ray and others.

    G.... A....

    Both are great. That's the beauty of it. We can have both versions, whenever we want. Yayyyy.

  6. T.... S....

    Love that chorus. Hookiest moment on the album.

  7. C.... C....

    Kind of has a ZZ top sound...before ZZ top of course ;)

    C.... C....

    Dildo Schwaggins The Velvets had talent 😊

  8. c.... s....

    cant get much cooler

  9. E.... ....

    Amazing

  10. A.... F....

    Some nights when your spun as fuck you need linda lees mouth

  11. J.... R....

    This is one hell of an underrated song...and band.

    J.... R....

    It's just hard to believe how overlooked this album was when it was released. Although, I think it was album of the year, in the Netherlands, back in 1970.

    J.... R....

    @Jason Meadows 1970 was a big , general musical hangover so I just assume it got lost in the midst of this sea of good music, but I totally agree with both of you; This album is pure dope (nop un intended)!

    J.... R....

    What ? No they’re not. They’re one of the most praised rock band out there

    J.... R....

    Certainly underrated as a POP band, when they wanted to roll that way.
