Lou Reed - Intro / Sweet Jane Lyrics
Standing on the corner, suitcase in my handJack is in his corset, Jane is in her vestAnd me, I'm in a rock'n'roll bandRidin'a stutz bearcat, JimYou know, those were different timesOh, all the poets, they studied rules of verseAnd those ladies, they rolled their eyesSweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet JaneJack, he is a bankerAnd Jane, she is a clerkAnd both of them save their monieswhen they come home from workOoh, they be sittin' down by the fireOh, the radio does playThe classical music, said Jim, the 'march of the wooden soldiers'All you protest kids, you can hear Jack say, get readySweet Jane, come on, babySweet Jane, sweet JaneSome people, they like to go out dancingOther peoples, they have to workJust watch me nowAnd there's some evil mothersWell they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirtYou know, that women never really faintAnd that villains always blink their eyesAnd that, you know, children are the only ones who blushAnd that life is just to dieBut anyone who ever had a heartOh, they wouldn't turn around and break itAnd anyone who's ever played a partOh, they wouldn't turn around and hate itSweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane ...
