Images - Lou Reed (婁.裡德)/John Cale

I think images are worth repeating

Images repeated from a painting

Images taken from a painting

From a photo worth re-seeing

I love images worth repeating

Project them upon the ceiling

Multiply them with silk screening

See them with a different feeling

Images oh images

Images oh images

Some say images have no feeling

I think there's a deeper meaning

Mechanical precision or so its seeming

Instigates a cooler feeling

I love multiplicity of screenings

Things born anew display new meanings

I think images are worth repeating

And repeating and repeating

Images oh images

Images images

I'm no urban idiot savant

Spewing paint without any order

I'm no sphinx no mystery enigma

What I paint is very ordinary

I don't think I'm old or modern

I don't think I think I'm thinking

It doesn't matter what I'm thinking

It's the images that are worth repeating

And repeating oh images

Images

If you're looking for a deeper meaning

I'm as deep as this high ceiling

If you think technique is meaning

You might find me very simple

You might think that images boring

Cars and cans and chairs and flowers

You might find me personally boring

Hammer sickle Mao est tong

Mao est tong

Ooohhh images images

Images

I think that it bears repeating

The images upon the ceiling

I love images worth repeating

And repeating and repeating

Images images

Oh images oh images
