?? Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to London Laurie Anderson.
Ooooaaaah!
Ooooaaaah!

Hi. This evening I'll be reading from a book I just finished and since a lot of it is about the future, I'm going to start more or less on the last page, and tell you about my grandmother. Now she was a Southern Baptist Holy Ruler and she had a very clear idea about the future, and of how the world would end.

?? In fire.

In fire.

?? Like in Revelations.

Like in Revelations.

And when I was ten my grandmother told me the world would end in a year. So I spent the whole year praying and reading the Bible and alienating all my friends and relatives. And finally the big day came. And absolutely nothing happened. Just another day.

Ooooaaaah!

Now my grandmother was a missionary and she had heard that the largest religion in the world was Buddhism. So she decided to go to Japan to convert Buddhists.

?? And to inform them about the end of the world.

And to inform them about the end of the world.

And she didn't speak Japanese. So she tried to convert them with a combination of hand gestures, sign language and hymns, in English.

Ooooaaaah!

The Japanese had absolutely no idea what she was trying to get at. And when she got back to the United States she was still talking about the end of the world. And I remember the day she died. She was very excited. She was like a small bird perched on the edge of her bed near the window in the hospital. Waiting to die. And she was wearing these pink nightgowns and combing her hair so she'd look pretty for the big moment when Christ came to get her.

Ooooaaaah!

And she wasn't afraid but then, just at the very last minute something happened that changed everyth

    "Let's see. Uh, it was on an island. And there was this snake. And the 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 make little noises with his tongue, and his long tongue was lightly licking about his lips. Like there was a fire inside his mouth and the flame would come dancing out of his mouth. And this 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. I will tell you. The snake told her things about the world. He told her about the time there was a..."

    "Flying Birds. Excellent Birds. Watch them fly. There they go. Falling snow. Excellent snow. Here it comes. Watch it fall. Long words. Excellent words. UI can hear them now. This is the picture. I'm sitting by the window. Watching the snow fall. I'm looking out. And I'm moving. Turning in time. Jump up! And I can land on my feet. Look out! This is the picture. This is the picture. This is the picture. This is the picture. Looking out. I'm watching now. But when I see the future, I close my eyes. I can see it now. I see pictures of people rising up. I see pictures of people falling down. I see pictures of people, they're standing on their heads. They're ready! I see pictures of people rising up. I see pictures of people falling down. I see pictures of people, they're standing on their heads. They're ready! They're looking out. Look out! They're watching out. Watch out! They're looking out. Look out! They're watching out. Watching watching out. I see pictures of people. I see pictures of people. They're watching

    "I got your letter. Thanks a lot. I've been getting lots of sun. And lots of rest. It's really hot. Days, I dive by the wreck. Nights, I swim in the blue lagoon. Always used to wonder who I'd bring to a desert island. Days, I remember cities. Nights, I dream about a perfect place. Days, I dive by the wreck. Nights, I swim in the blue lagoon. Full fathom five thy father lies. Of his bones are coral made. Those are pearls that were his eyes. Nothing of him that doth fade. But that suffers a sea change. Into something rich and strange. And I alone am left to tell the tale. Call me Ishmael. I got your letter. Thanks a lot. I've been getting lots of sun. And lots of rest. It's really hot. Always used to wonder who I'd bring to a desert island. Days, I remember rooms. Nights, I swim in the blue lagoon. I saw a plane today. Flying low over the island. But my mind was somewhere else. And if you ever get this letter. Thinking of you. Love and kisses. Blue Pacific. Signing off.

    "Sun's going down. Like a big bald head.
    And there's one in each of you eyes. And they're doin' everything I do.
    Every time I light a cigarette, they light up theirs.
    I take a drink and I look in and they're drinkin' too...."

    You had that rusty old car
    And me I had nothing better to do.
    You picked me up. We hit the road. Baby me and you...."
