Μια από τις μεγάλες στιγμές του Big Science, groundbreaking δισκογραφικού ντεμπούτου της Laurie Anderson που κυκλοφόρησε το 1982. Η κυρία είναι μέλος του κλαμπ.

One of the great moments of Big Science, Laurie Anderson’s groundbreaking debut album released in 1982. The lady is a member of the club.

❝ I met this guy – and he looked like might have been a hat check clerk at an ice rink.
Which, in fact, he turned out to be.
And I said: Oh boy.
Right again.
Let X=X.
You know, it could be you.
It’s a sky-blue sky.
Satellites are out tonight.
Let X=X.
You know, I could write a book.
And this book would be think enough to stun an ox. Cause I can see the future and it’s a place – about 70 miles east of here.
Where it’s lighter.
Linger on over here.
Got the time?
Let X=X.
I got this postcard.
And it read, it said: Dear Amigo – Dear Partner. Listen, uh – I just want to say thanks.
So… thanks.
Thanks for all the presents.
Thanks for introducing me to the Chief.
Thanks for putting on the feedbag.
Thanks for going all out.
Thanks for showing me your Swiss Army knife and uh – Thanks for letting me autograph your cast.
Hug and kisses. XXXXOOOO.
Oh yeah, P.S. I – feel – feel like – I am – in a burning building – and I gotta go.
Cause I – I feel – feel like – I am – in a burning building – and I gotta go.

She said: It looks.
Don’t you think it looks a lot like rain?
He said: Isn’t it.
Isn’t it just.
Isn’t it just like a woman?
She said: It’s hard.
It’s just hard.
It’s just kind of hard to say.
He said: Isn’t it.
Isn’t it just.
Isn’t it just like a woman?
She said: It goes.
That’s the way it goes.
It goes that way.
He said: Isn’t it.
Isn’t it just like a woman?
She said: It takes.
It takes one.
It takes on to.
It takes one to know one.
He said: Isn’t it just like a woman?
She said: She said it.
She said it to no.
She said it to no one.
Isn’t it.
Isn’t it just?
Isn’t it just like a woman?
Your eyes.
It’s a day’s work to look in to them.
Your eyes.
It’s a day’s work just to look in to them.❞
