Description In Berlin, by the wall
You were five foot ten inches tall
It was very nice
Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

We were in a small cafe
You could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
It was paradise

You're right and I'm wrong
Hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day

Oh, you're right and I'm wrong
You know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
One sweet day

In a small, small cafe
We could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
Candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

Don't forget, hire the vet
He hasn't had much fun yet
It was very nice
Hey honey, it was paradise

You're right and I'm wrong
Hey babe, I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day
You're right, oh, and I'm wrong
You know I'm gonna miss you now that you're gone
One sweet day, one sweet day

One sweet day
One sweet day, oh, one sweet day
One sweet day, baby, baby, one sweet day ...

Today I started to listen to Lou's Berlin album, and so far it has blew me away...the lyrics are just sucking me straiight into them and I find it hard to stop analysing them, trying to find more and more ways to view them. This picture really fits the album, and the person in this picture could really fit the character "Caroline" in the story of the album. Actually, the woman in this picture looks a little like Carolyne, judging by the picture on the cover, on both Lou, possbly "Jim" and a girl thats probably Caroline. Good job with the picture!!

Lets see. there was Rocky Horror playing at the Roxy. There was Cabaret. There was Candy Darling and the Factory. There was Divine and the Cocketts (people I knew). There was Glam Rock and gender bending and there was me taking a step out of my comfort zone. Felt like I think one feels when jumping off a bridge with a bungee cord.

ohhh I see...you obviously survived that art transformation successfully...a glam rock memories refreshed on the big scene again!

I don't think Lou ever got the credit he deserves!


Then I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin'crazy sounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, ......
