GOODBYE SYLVAIN SYLVAIN

Here is a song from the founder, guitarist and style guru for the amazing New York Dolls who died last week.

Juan from Spain wrote to my husband’s Red Hand Files and said—

One kiss to the sky this morning in memory of Sylvian Sylvian. On more man gone. Here I leave for you a precious cover of Johnny Thunders’ ‘Society Makes Me Sad’. Love Juan. 

Thanks Juan—and yes, a kiss to the sky indeed, for the great Sylvain Sylvain. Love Susie x

Your Society Makes Me Sad

Do I feel guilty about an imperfect life?
It's time for me to take what is mine
I don't want to live in the present
I make myself ill, at times I'm happy
But your society makes me sad

My past involves my future
My future I have planned
If I lose myself, I lose what's precious
And if there's not something wrong with me, there should be
But your society makes me sad
Your society makes me sad
Your society makes me sad

If invisibility could be achieved
Life could be so very, very nice
I could walk around and be with nobody
And nobody would know that I was around

Do I feel guilty about an imperfect life, you ask?
It's time for me to take what's mine, is mine
I don't want to live in the present times
I make myself ill, at times I'm happy
But your society makes me sad
Yes, your society makes me sad
Your society makes me sad
