"When I first met Lou Reed a the beginning of 1965, he was a 22-year old songwriter at Pickwick Records in Long Island City, and I was a 22-year old avant-garde musician in La Monte Young's Theatre of Eternal Music. We were introduced by a Pickwick producer, Terry Phillips, who thought I was a pop musician because I had long hair. He asked me, Tony Conrad and a friend, the sculptor Walter de Maria, to form a band witht Lou called the Primitives. Phillips wanted to publicize a song had written and recorded in a back room and Pickwick has released as a single, 'The Ostrich', by a fictious band, the Primitives. The pop programme American Bandstand wanted them to perform this on on TV, so Phillips was forced to put out an appropriate-looking band together. We thought it would be fun, and as a lark spent a couple of weekends playing the TV show and a few other East Coast gigs. Even though the record bombed, the experience of being in a rock band, however ersatz, gave Lou and me the opportunity to connect." (John Cale)

Letra
Here you go Way too fast Don't slow down Gonna crash You should watch Watch your step Don't lookout Gonna break your neck
So shut shut your mouth 'Cause I'm not listening anyhow I've had enough enough of you You know to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me Got no words of sympathy And if I go around with you You know that I'll get messed up too with you With you
Nana nana na nana nana naaaaa Nana nana na nana nana naaaaa
Here you go Way too fast Don't slowdown Gonna crash You don't know What's been going down You've been running Allover town
So shut shut your mouth 'Cause I'm not listening anyhow I've had enough enough of you You know to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me Got no cure for misery And if I go about with you You know that I'll get messed up too with you With you
