Sweet Jane (Live) Lyrics

Sweet Jane (Live) - Lou Reed (娄.里德)

Standing on the 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

 

Ridin'a stutz bearcat jim

 

You know those were different times

 

Oh all the poets they studied rules of verse

 

And those ladies they rolled their eyes

 

Sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane

 

The jack he is a banker

 

And jane she is a clerk

 

And both of them save their monies

 

When they come home from work

 

Yes they be down by the fire

 

The radio does play

The classical music said jim

The march of the wooden soldiers

 

And you can hear jack say

 

Sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane

 

La ah

 

Some people love they like to go out dancing

 

And the other peoples like me

We had work

 

And there's some evil mothers

 

They're going to tell your life is just misunder

 

That women never really faint

 

And that villains always blink their eyes

 

You know children are the only ones who blush

 

And that life is just to die

 

But anyone who ever had a heart

 

Oh they wouldn't turn around and break it

 

And anyone who's ever played a part

 

Oh they wouldn't turn around and hate it

 

Sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane

 

Sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane

 

Sweet jane sweet jane sweet jane

 

 

Sweet jane sweet jane
