Thoughtless Kind (outtakes) Songtext
von John Cale

When you grow tired of the friends you make
Even though you meant to say something else
Say they were the best of times you ever had
Best of times were the thoughtless kind


We dress conservatively at the best of times
Look at the sunlight as it shines in your eyes
Of the one you love
The bright lights in the eyes of the one you love
What we see, what we imagine, the eyes tell us nothing
The bright lights in the eyes of the one will tell us nothing
Like the stars of imagination, the scars of imagination
The bright lights in the eyes of the ones will tell us nothing
The very thoughtless kind

So if you′re tired of the friends you make
Never turn your back on them
Say they were the best of times you ever had
The best of times were the thoughtless kind
The best of times were the thoughtless kind
