John Cale - Ton Ton Macoute (Unreleased 1976)

About this song - In 1976 Cale cuts a couple tracks at Chalk Farm Studios in London. Some of these will later surface on the Animal Justice EP (1978), but Ton Ton Macoute gets shelved. The sun is shining Through the trees I lie out here on the beach Taking it easy Along comes a native boy Gonna give me a cool drink Try to look deep in his eyes But I can’t tell what he thinks Down in the town They’re getting ready for a big parade Come here to papa Give a speech in the shade I don’t want to have to stand
