Lou Reed - Sweet Jane (live version 1) lyrics

Standin' on a corner Suitcase in my hand Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest And me I'm in a rock 'n' roll band. Huh Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim Ya know, those were different times All, all the poets studied rules of verse And those ladies, they rolled their eyes Sweet Jane, whoa-uh! Sweet Jane, oh-ho-uh! Sweet Jane I'll tell ya sump'n' now Jack, he is a banker And Jane, she is a clerk And both of them save their monies When they get home from work Oooh! Sittin' down by the fire, ohhh! The radio does play The cla**ical music there, Jim "The March of the Wooden Soldiers" All you protest kids You can hear Jack say, ah (Get ready ya'll) Sweet Jane (C'mon baby doll) Sweet Jane oh-oh-oh-oh-uh! Sweet Jane Some people, they like to go out dancin' 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 You know that, women never really faint And that villains always blink their eyes, woo! And that, you know, children are the only ones who blush! And that, life is, just to die And anyone who ever had a heart, oh! They wouldn't turn around and break it And anyone who ever played a part, whoa! They wouldn't turn around and hate it Sweet Jane, whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane Sweet Jane [This next part is only on the full length version of the song:] Heavenly wine and roses Seem to whisper to her when he smiles Heavenly wine and roses Seem to whisper to her, hey when she smiles La lala lala la, la lala lala la La lala lala la, la lala lala la Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane
