Autobiography - John Cale

I never wrote a song called «Cocaine»

I never told a lie

I never wrote a song called «After Midnight»

But my name is Cale

You can call me John

Yes, my name is Cale

I know, I know, I know

How that will be

I don’t come from Oklahoma

I don’t come from the Midwest

I come from South Wales

I come from nearby Swansea

And the name of the village

The name of the village is Garnant

I know, I know…

You remember when you were a kid

You remember when you were whole

I never remember anything I do

I’ll never be part of history

I’ll never be part of history

You wanna think about how you like your friends

You wanna think about, if you have any friends at all

Any friends at all

I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know

I don’t wanna know how others feel

I never wrote a song called «Cocaine»

I never told a lie

I never wrote a song called «After Midnight»

But my name is Cale

You can call me John

I’ll be your friend

I know, I know, I know

What kind of friendship that will be
