已绝版数年的娄•里德的歌词集现在出了新版本，该版在已经很全面的原版的基础上增加了他与Metallica合作的最后一张专辑《Lulu》中的歌词，并更新了全书的正文和引言。

本书包含大量作品，时间跨度长达60多年，是一位美国原创者的文学素养的**见证。

Out of print for several years, a comprehensive volume of Lou Reed's lyrics with brand new introductions, now updated in a new text design to include the lyrics from his final album with Metallica, Lulu.

Through his many incarnations-

from proto punk to glam rocker to elder statesman of the avant garde Lou Reed's work has maintained an undeniable vividness and raw beauty, fueled by precise character studies and rendered with an admirable shot of moral ambiguity. Beginning with his formative days in the Velvet Underground and continuing through his remarkable solo albums like Transformer, Berlin, and New York, Doin' The Things We Want To is crucial to an appreciation of Lou Reed, not only as a consummate underground musician, but as one of the truly significant visionary lyricists of the rock n' roll era.

Containing a body of work that spans more than six decades, this is a monument to the literary qualities of an American original.
