Houve um momento em que John Cale, Nick Cave e Chrissie Hynde dividiram o mesmo palco para cantar e falar sobre suas próprias canções. Isso aconteceu no dia 7 de setembro de 1999, quando a BBC reuniu os três no programa Song Writers Cycle, que nos presenteou com esta versão para “I’m Waiting for the Man”.

A versão para a música do Velvet Underground foi o final do programa, que vale ser visto na íntegra, com cada um dos três escolhendo determinadas músicas e comentando-as. Infelizmente só consegui achar “Kid” das músicas de Chryssie Hynde (nada de “I’ll Stand By You” ou “Back on the Chain Gang”) no YouTube – já as outras de Cale e Cave seguem abaixo:

E como atentou o Mutlei, que pinçou esse vídeo, repare na reverência do Nick Cave e da Chrissie Hynde. Porque não custa lembrar que Lou Reed solo é uma coisa beeem diferente de Velvet Underground. E cadê os produtores brasileiros que não trazem o mestre pra um show desses por aqui? O de 1999, no Sesc Vila Mariana, foi inacreditável.

Cmaj7
She’s back from Amsterdam
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And I think the journey did her well
Cmaj7
Her face has lost it’s touch
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
The tell tale signs of loneliness inside

Fmaj7
But I love her still
Cmaj7
And need her company still more
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Come down, come down once more
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And I do believe, the journey, did her well

Cmaj7
She says she fell in love
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
With men who knew the way to treat a lady
Fmaj7
Her life has settled for the best of things
Cmaj7
That I couldn’t give her

Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And it’s not her fault, she’s not the one to blame
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Come down, come down, come down once more
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And I do believe the journey did her well
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Yes I do believe the journey did her well.
