Lyrics for Some Kinda Love as interpreted by capitol76

Some Kinda Love Lyrics
Some kinds of love
Marguerita told Tom
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime
Situations arise because of the weather
and no kinds of love
are better than others

Some kinds of love
Margueirta told Tom
like a dirty French novel
the absured courts the vulgar
and some kinds of love
the possibilites are endless
and for me to miss one
would seem to be groundless

I head what you said
Margueritat told Tom
And of course you're a bore
But at that you're not charmless
for a bore is a straight line
that finds a wealth in division
and some kinds of love
are mistaken for vision

Put jelly on your shoulder
Let us do what you fear most
That from which you recoil
but which still makes your eyes moist

Put jelly on your shoulder
lie down upon the carpet
between thought and expression
let us now kiss the culprit

I don't know just what it's all about
Put on your red pajamas and find out.

you're very philisophical and shit........great writing
"some kinds of love are mistaken for vision"
and of course the best stanza known to humankind:
"Put jelly on your shoulder
lie down upon the carpet
between thought and expression
let us now kiss the culprit "

"Between Thought And Expression, There Lies a Lifetime."

I think Venus got it. I loved that line, but I couldn't figure out what it meant...

Lou introduces this song on their live album as follows:

"This song is called 'Some Kinda Love', which is a dialogue between a guy called Tom and a woman called Margharita, and he's just trying to drink her like tequila and she doesn't like being salt thrown over her shoulder."

Hope to have helped.

Since that followed him introducing Doug Yule as "my brother Doug on bass" you can assume Lou was in a sarcastic mood (in a fun happy sense) that night. Much like him describing "I'm Waiting For The Man" as a song about love between a man and a subway.
He's having a joke...

"Between thought and expression lies a lifetime" is the most beautiful and insanely true arrangement of words ever to be formed in any language.

"Put jelly on your shoulder
Let us do what you fear most
That from which you recoil
but which still makes your eyes moist"

hmm...a kind of love that requires easy access jelly,that she would fear most and recoil at the thought of,but a kind of love that would still make her eyes moist...
the first time I heard it I honestly thought that this section of the song was Tom trying to talk Margueritat into "trying something different"
a new kind of love...
I realize this is making me sound like a perv,but it's just my interpretation.
maybe I'm just reading into it...

When I replaced my knackered vinyl copy of this album with a shiny new CD, I found that this song was totally different. Anybody know if the vinyl version is available anywhere? I preferred it (Lou's voice sounded filthier, for one thing!)

I take "Between Thought and Expression lies a Lifetime" to mean we all have thoughts and we can express them or if we don't that's our life. You can waste your life never expressing your thoughts whether physical or verbal.

Fear of rejection keeps the thought unexpressed.

But Lou says screw that "Put on your red pajamas and find out"

Songs bout how u should always take ur chances with love, listen to this a few minutes ago 3lines into the song decided I love it, lookd up the lyrics here and here's my conclusion,
all love is good, equal, and one should take all chances for it, it is deffinately worth risking simple embaracemwbt for something as magical as love weather physical or emotion love, none is better than the other, I could sit here enterpretting every line but I'm on an iPhone and I'm bout to go to bed so maybe some other time; I personally love this advice, I have believed it but didn't follo it as much as I will now,
in love with velvet underground!!! Good night

Marguerita is telling Tom that love happens. You can either act on your thoughts about love or let love pass you by. Relationships can be anything you want them to be. They can be kinky, boring, lustful or all of the above but they are all equally exciting so it would be stupid to let any kind of love pass you by. Don't let being scared get in the way because a kind of love you think you wouldn't like could be the best. You can't know what it will be like off the bat but it is fun to take the chance and find out. Marguerita wants Tom to take that chance with her.
