Sable Starr and Iggy Pop
I slept wlth Sable when she was 13
Her parents were too rich to do anything
She rocked her way around L.A
'Til a New York doll carried her away
Look away Look away
Now he was blond and she was dark
They called him Thunder 'cause he had the spark
The dream he dreamed was straight and pure
But the confusion of life was gonna get him for sure
Look away Look away
They shared their clothes and their cowboy boots
Left them all over the floor while they dyed their roots
They live the dreann and they went non-stop
They did' ok 'til the band broke up
Look away Look away Look away Look away
Unfortunately the needle broke
Their rock and roll love like a bicycle spoke
I found her in a back street with her looks half gone
She was sellin something that I was on
Look away Look away
Now Thunder and me did not part friends
What we did once I wouldn't do again
So he stayed with the pure dream and followed the moon
'Til the drugs in his body made his mind a cartoon
Look away Look away
So a few years later Thunder died broke
Sable had a baby back at her folks
Me I went straight and serious too
There wasn't much else that I could do
Look away Look away
So now that I'm straight I'm settled too
I eat and I slesp and I work like you
I got lots of feelings but I hold them down
That's a way I cope with this shitty town
Look away Look away
Look away Look away
I wonder if Sable would have made it in today's music world?
ReplyDeleteBack in her heyday I don't think girls thought about making it on their own, having their own band.
I don't think it's such a big deal today to sleep with so many rock stars.
If it's anyone from this era that I consider ground breaking it's Joan Jett. She still rocks and still looks good.
She was so young when she was hanging out with all those perverted rock stars. I can only imagine some of the wild times she had hanging out with the likes of Led Zep and T.N.Y.D. My parents would have stuck me in a boarding school for wayward girls if I did what she did...lucky her!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
ReplyDeleteShe was 18 or 19 in that picture. It was taken in 1976...she was born in 1957.
