Hello, There Lyrics by John Cale

Vintage Violence

1970

[Verse 1]
Hooked up on a fishing line
Looking for the break of day
I've never been here before anyway
It's the wine in my feet that's to blame

[Verse 2]
Settled down in the mud, giving everybody blood
It's not such a beautiful thing to do
Left the castle in Spain in an ambulance all the way
Could it be that the clock's really stopped?

[Chorus]
Hello there, everybody
When's the next train out of here?
I'm sorry, but I'm much too young for this
I'll come back again next year

[Verse 3]
He came to lend a helping hand
To the miller in the butcher's band
Someone took the tuba for a pony ride
And the music sounded so much better

[Verse 4]
Taking turns having fun when there's not enough sun
It was midnight when the chorus came
Then the piano collapsed in a heap on the grass
And they blamed it on a rock 'n roll song

[Chorus]
Hello there, everybody
When's the next train out of here?
I'm sorry, but I'm much too young for this
I'll come back again next year

[Refrain]
Yes, I'll come back again next year
