Giving the old-time banjo a break for now. This song keeps going thru my head--anybody know the words? I think the composer was John Cale, and there are a couple versions by the Velvet Underground.

Subject: Lyr Add: ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES (Lou Reed)
From: Aidan Crossey
Date: 17 Jan 02 - 09:37 AM

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go, and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown and cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties
And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown and cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud
A hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks - a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties
