Hothead (La Langue D'amour) - Laurie Anderson

Let’s see… uh… it was on an island.

There was a snake and this snake had

legs.

And he could walk all around the island

Yes, that’s true.

A snake with legs

And the man and the woman were on the island too.

And they were not very smart,

but they were happy as clams.

Yes

Let’s see… uh… then one evening the snake was walking about in the garden

and he was talking to himself and he saw the woman and they started to talk.

And they became friends.

VERY good friends

And the woman liked the snake very much because when he talked he made little

noises with his tongue and his long tongue was lightly licking about his lips

Like there was a little fire inside his mouth and the flame would come dancing

out of his mouth.

And the woman liked this very much

And after that she was bored with the man because no matter what happened,

he was always as happy as a clam

What did the snake say?

Yes, what was he saying?

Ok what does he says?

OK.

I will tell you

The snake told her things about the world

He told her about the time when there was a big typhoon on the island and all

the sharks came out of the water

Yes, they came out of the water and they walked right into your house with

their big white teeth.

And the woman heard these things and she was in love

And the man came out and said: «We have to go now,» and the woman did not want

to go because she was a hothead.

Because she was a woman in love

Anyway, they got into their boat and left the island

But they never stayed anywhere very long.

Because the woman was restless

She was a hothead.

She was a woman in love

This is not a story my people tell.

It’s something I know myself

And when I do my job I am thinking about these things

Because when I do my job, that’s what I think about
