(lou reed) |
|
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 and roll band |
|
Riding in a stutz bearcat jim |
|
Those were different times |
|
And the poets studied rules of verse |
|
And all the ladies rolled there eyes |
|
Sweet jane |
|
Sweet jane |
|
Sweet jane |
|
Now jack he is a banker |
|
And jane she is a clerk |
|
And they're both saving up all their money |
|
And when they come home from work |
|
Sitting by the fire |
|
Radios a-play |
|
A little classical music for you kids |
|
To the march of the wooden soldiers and you can hear jack say |
|
Sweet jane |
|
Sweet jane |
|
Sweet jane |
|
Some people like to go out dancing |
|
Other people they got to work |
|
And there's always some evil mothers |
|
I tell you life is just full of dirt |
|
And the women never really faint |
|
And the villains always blink their eyes |
|
And children are the only ones that blush |
|
And that life is just to die |
|
But anyone who had a heart |
|
He wouldn't want to turn around and break it |
|
And anyone who ever played a part |
|
He wouldn't want to turn around and hate it |
|
Sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane |
|
Sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane |
|
Oh my sweet jane |
