Lyrics

Caroline says

as she gets up off the floor

Why is it that you beat me

it isn't any fun

Caroline says

as she makes up her eyes

You ought to learn more about yourself

think more than just I

But she's not afraid to die

all her friends call her "Alaska"

When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

What is in her mind

what is in her mind

Caroline says

as she gets up from the floor

You can hit me all you want to

but I don't love you anymore

Caroline says

while biting her lip

Life is meant to be more than this

and this is a bum trip

But she's not afraid to die

all her friends call her "Alaska"

When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

What is in her mind

what is in her mind

She put her fist through the window pane

It was such a funny feeling

It's so cold in Alaska

it's so cold in Alaska

It's so cold in Alaska

I thought the slideshow was great, until I reached the "What is in her mind", that image was a bit out of topic! :)

Lou Reed wouldn't even get through today because they would say he can't sing but he was so good. RIP Lou

A blow to us all. I once looked for the Lyrics for Caroline to see if there ever was an original version but I guess it's just Lou's theme song, changing as he did, day by day - a genius we will all miss. While looking though I found this song "Lou Reed" by UK Indie band My Grey Horse - h t t p : // soundcloud . com /mygreyhorse/lou-reed - can't put it as a proper link, you'll have to work it out.

Thanks! And the fist through the window is indeed a powerful picture; I actually held my breath both when I found it and when it appeared the first time I watched this clip...
