Style It Takes Lyrics – Lou Reed, John Cale

Style It Takes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You’ve got the money, I’ve got the time
You want your freedom, make your freedom mine
‘Cause I’ve got the style it takes
And money is all that it takes

[Verse 2]
You’ve got connections and I’ve got the art
You like attention and I like your looks
And I have the style it takes
And you know the people it takes

[Bridge 1]
Why don’t you sit right over there?
We’ll do a movie portrait
I’ll turn the camera on and I won’t even be there
A portrait that moves, you look great, I think

[Verse 3]
I’ll put the Empire State Building on your wall
For twenty-four hours glowing on your wall
Watch the sun rise above it in your room
Wallpaper art, a great view

[Verse 4]
I’ve got a Brillo box and I say it’s art
It’s the same one you can buy at any supermarket
‘Cause I’ve got the style it takes
And you’ve got the people it takes
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

[Verse 5]
This is a rock group called The Velvet Underground
I show movies on them, do you like their sound?
‘Cause they have a style that grates
And I have art to make

[Bridge 2]
Let’s do a movie here next week
We don’t have sound but you’re so great, you don’t have to speak

[Outro]
You’ve got the style it takes (Kiss)
You’ve got the style it takes (Eat)
You’ve got the style it takes (Couch)
You’ve got the style it takes (Kiss)
