lyrics

because she’s German and kind and smart
my mum got the job of driving Nico around
that’s Nico of the marble index and
New York’s seminal velvet underground
mum said Nico was nice, sort of ordinary
they talked German places schooldays and cakes
people often asked if they were sisters
my mum is blonde too with a lovely face

1985
to 1987
my mum was nico’s driver
pick her up in prestwich
off to yugoslavia
my mum was nico’s driver

most shows went by like an easy rhyme
but sometimes after a lacklustre night
Nico slid into bewildered lachrymose
also not everyone’s as nice you’d like
mum had to get narky with mark e smith
when he just would not stop
fawning and falling all over her like a manky
tanked up scrawny monkey in a tank top

my mum was super protective of Nico
the job may be memories and Nico dead
but mum is still looking out for her
the one thing she did let slip that Nico said
was Jagger and Bowie were nice boys but
when it came to offstage performing
it was over the shoulders of Jim Morrison
that Nico watched the dawn in
