Lou Reed Sweet Jane song lyrics

Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand

Jack is in his corset, and Jane is in her vest, and me

I'm in a rock'n'roll band. Huh!

Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim

Y'know, those were different times! Oh, all the poet, they studied rules of verse

And the ladies, they rolled their eyes

Sweet Jane! Whoa!

Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a!

Sweet Jane! I'll tell you something

Jack, he is a banker

And Jane, she is a clerk

Both of them save their monies, ha

And when, when they come home from work! Ooh! Sittin' down by the fire, oh!

The radio does playThe classical music there, Jim"

The March of the Wooden Soldiers"

All you protest kids

You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah

Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

Some people, they like to go out dancing

And other peoples, they have to work.

Just watch me now!

And there's even some evil mothers

Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

Y'know that, women, never really faint

And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!

And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!

And that, life is, just to die!

And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh

That wouldn't turn around and break it

And anyone who ever played a part, whoa

And wouldn't turn around and hate it! Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane.

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane.

Sweet Jane

Heavenly wine and roses

Seems to whisper to her when he smiles

Heavenly wine and rosesSeems to whisper to her when she smilesLa lala lala la, la lala lala la

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane
