Quem mais, em 1992, escrevia sobre as implicações geopolíticas da restauração capitalista na Europa Oriental? Ninguém, a não ser Mark E. Smith, e ainda hoje tem ressonância, 32 anos depois, com a
guerra na Ucrânia.

Significado da Canção
Promo video for Nico’s “Evening of Light” directed by François De Menil in 1969, but probably finished much later. There was a tantalizingly brief clip of this in the Nico: Icon documentary. Not the album version of the song appearing on The Marble Index, this alternate take was released as part of The Frozen Borderline: 1968–1970 compilation in 2007.
The story is told in Richard Witts’ (fantastic) Nico biography, Nico: The Life and Lies of an Icon, that De Menil, heir to the Schlumberger Limited oil-equipment fortune via his mother’s family, who knew Nico via Warhol associate Fred Hughes, had become besotted by the Teutonic ice queen and proposed making a film with her.
At this time Nico was having a brief affair with a 21-year-old Iggy Pop, who she had met through John Cale, then producing the first Stooges album in New York. (Iggy once revealed to a French interviewer that Nico taught him how to “eat pussy.”). Nico told De Menil that he had to follow them to Ann Arbor, Michigan if he wanted to do it. De Menil obliged, shooting the film behind the house where the band lived.
Nico - Femme Fatale (Live at the Preston Warehouse, UK, 1982)
Here she comes You better watch your step She's going to break your heart in two It's true
It's not hard to realize Just look into her false colored eyes She builds you up to just put you down What a clown
'Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale) The thing she does to please (She's a femme fatale) She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale) See the way she walks Hear the way she talks
You're put down in her book You're number thirty-seven, have a look She's going to smile to make you frown What a clown
Little boy, she's from the street Before you start, you're already beat She's gonna play you for a fool Yes, it's true
