Intro / Sweet Jane (Live 1973 Version)

[Intro]

(0:00 - 3:51 Instrumental)

[Sweet Jane]

[Verse 1: Lou Reed]

Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand

Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest

Me, honey I'm in a rock 'n' roll band

Ridin'a Stutz Bearcat, Jim

Those were different times

They studied rules of verse

And ladies, they rolled their eyes

[Chorus: Lou Reed]

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane

[Verse 2: Lou Reed]

Jack, he is a banker

Jane, she is a clerk

Both of them save their money

When they come home from work

Sittin' there by the fire

The radio does play

A little classical music there kids

"The March of the Wooden Soldiers"

You can hear Jack say

[Chorus: Lou Reed]

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane

[Verse 3: Lou Reed]

Some people like to go out dancing

'Cause other people like us, we gotta work

There's even some evil mothers

They'll tell you that life is just made outta dirt

That women never really faint

Oh, the villains always blink their eyes

That children are the only ones who blush

And life is just to die

Anyone who had a heart

They wouldn't turn around and break it

Anyone who ever played a part

They wouldn't turn around and hate it

[Chorus: Lou Reed]

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, ah now sweet Jane

Sweet Jane, ah, sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane
