Lou Reed - Sweet Jane

Standing  on  the  corner
suitcase  in  my  hand
Jack's  in  his  corset,  Jane  is  in  her  vest
me,  honey,  I'm  in  a  rock  'n'  roll  band
Ridin'  in  a  Stutz  Bearcat,  Jim
you  know  those  were  different  times
All,  all  the  poets  they  studied  rules  of  verse
and  those  ladies  they  rolled  their  eyes

Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane

Jack,  he  is  a  banker
and  Jane,  she  is  a  clerk
and  Both  of  them  save  their  money
when  they  come  home  from  work
Sittin'  down  by  the  fire
radio  does  play,  look  classical  music  there,  kids
"The  March  Of  The  Wooden  Soldiers"
you  can  hear  Jack  say

Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane

Some  people  like  to  go  out  dancing
and  other  people  like  us,  we  gotta  work
And  there's  even  some  evil  mothers
they're  gonna  tell  you  that  everything  is  just  dirt
And  you  know  that  women  never  really  faint
and  that  villains  always  blink  their  eyes
That  children  are  the  only  ones  who  blush
and  that  life  is  just  to  die

Anyone  who  ever  had  a  heart
and  wouldn't  turn  around  and  break  it
Anyone  who  ever  played  a  part
and  wouldn't  turn  around  and  hate  it

Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane

Sweet  Jane,  Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane,  oh  honey,  Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane,  oh,  Sweet  Jane
Sweet  Jane,  Sweet  Jane
