Discover the story of the song > Foggy Notion – The Velvet Underground

The lyrics of this song tell the story of a protagonist who sees a girl standing in a corner with her hands by her sides. Other people are hurting her, and they hit her so hard that she almost dies. The protagonist gets a foggy idea to do something for her, so he goes to buy her flowers. But when he gives her the flowers, she sends them back to him. The song repeats this story a few times, with the protagonist always trying to do something nice for the girl, but she never appreciates it.
