Lou Reed

Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed (born March 2, 1942) is an American rock musician, songwriter, and photographer. He is best known as guitarist, vocalist, and principal songwriter of The Velvet Underground, and for his solo career, which has spanned several decades. Though the Velvet Underground were a commercial failure in the late 1960s, the group has gained a considerable cult following in the years since its demise and has gone on to become one of the most widely cited and influential bands of the era. As the Velvet Underground's principal songwriter, Reed wrote about subjects of personal experience that rarely had been examined so openly in rock and roll, including sexuality and drug culture. more »

Mama's got a lover
A painter I am told
She's getting out of real estate
For the art scene down in old Soho
Art scene down in old Soho

Mama's got a lover
He owns a gallery
She says he likes collages
But the money's in graffiti
Money's in graffiti

[Chorus]
Mama's got a lover
I met him yesterday
She says she hopes I like him
Maybe I'll send him a card on father's day
Father's day

Mama's got a lover
They're backing a film
It's about a working mother
Who gives birth to black and white Siamese twins
Black and white Siamese twins

Mama's got a lover
He's got something to say
He says he's into dirt and rot
The essence of "urban decay"
"Urban decay"

[Chorus]

Mama's got a lover
I met him yesterday
She's starting a new chapter
I wish she was on the last page
The last page

[Chorus]

Mama's got a lover (mama's got a lover)
Mama's got a lover (mama's got a lover), oh
Mama's got a lover (mama's got a lover)
My mama's got a lover (mama's got a lover)

(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
