Taking It All Away - John Cale

Oh, you sentimental fool

Yes, you sentimental fool

Love, those broken veins

Made you so afraid

Of that wishful wishing well

Well now you’re in misery and in pain

Well now you’re in misery and in pain

So she broke your heart

And you let her die

Well that’s your name and that’s the game

'Cause they’re taking it all away

They’re taking it all away

They’re taking it all away

'Cause they’re taking it all away

They’re taking it all away

They’re taking it all away

They’re taking it all away (repeat)
