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
