Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Speak not of misfortune Speak not of your woes Just steal yourself for holy death Crouching by the door Writhe and sway to music's pain Searing with asides Caress death with a lover's touch For it shall be your bride Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Purple is to yellow As sunlight is to rain Happiness and death you'll find Loveliness in pain Slash the golden whip it snaps 'Cross the lovers' sides The earth trembles without remorse Preparing for to die Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Salty ocean waves and sprays Come crashing to the shore Bullies kick and kill young loves Down on barroom floors The gleaming knife cuts early Through the midnight air Cutting entrails in its path Blood runs without care Violence echoes through the land And the heart of every man The knife stabs existent wounds Pus runs through matted hair Excrements filters through the brain Hatred bends the spine Filth covers the body pores To be cleansed by dying time Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay
I wish they'd recorded this in a studio. I love Nico's version but a fully-realised version of these demos would have been fantastic, too. I think some people here are put off by the lengthy beating of a rhythm without anything else happening but this is just the group looking for a finished form. Listen to the melody and the sombre, martial riff - properly done this could have been another All Tomorrow's Parties. While the second album is great I miss the grandeur of parts of the debut and a full version of this song would have added that element to it.
so the VU never recorded this in studio but left it to nico to release it on chelsea girl? shame... would've loved to hear a VU studio version. still like nicos version a lot though!
Purple is to yellow
As sunlight is to rain
Happiness and death you'll find
Loveliness in pain
RIP Lou...
Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll stay
Speak not of misfortune
Speak not of your woes
Just steal yourself for holy death
Crouching by the door
Writhe and sway to music's pain
Searing with asides
Caress death with a lover's touch
For it shall be your bride
Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll stay
Purple is to yellow
As sunlight is to rain
Happiness and death you'll find
Loveliness in pain
Slash the golden whip it snaps
'Cross the lovers' sides
The earth trembles without remorse
Preparing for to die
Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll stay
Salty ocean waves and sprays
Come crashing to the shore
Bullies kick and kill young loves
Down on barroom floors
The gleaming knife cuts early
Through the midnight air
Cutting entrails in its path
Blood runs without care
Violence echoes through the land
And the heart of every man
The knife stabs existent wounds
Pus runs through matted hair
Excrements filters through the brain
Hatred bends the spine
Filth covers the body pores
To be cleansed by dying time
Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll stay
So great to hear all the laughter and fun
Every song on this album is magnificent.
This is not from The "Velvet Underground and Nico"

Anyone else here hearing Nirvana - Something in the Way?
This song is being sung by Cale.
DAMN good.
Yes.
@veiolex
The Velvets back her on Chelsea Girl album, any song credited to one of the Velvets, they back her. The other songs Jackson Browne backs her.
