The Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane

(WMG owns this not me) Standing on the corner,

(Lyrics)
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, and jane is her vest,
And me Im in a rocknroll band hah!
Ridin in a stutz bear cat, 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! whoa! sweet jane, oh-oh-a! sweet jane!

Ill tell you something
Jack, he is a banker
And jane, she is a clerk
Both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work
Oh, sittin down by the fire, oh!
The radio does play
The classical music there, jim
The march of the wooden soldiers
All you protest kids
You can hear jack say, get ready, ah

Sweet jane! come on baby! sweet jane! oh-oh-a! sweet jane!

Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work, just watch me now!
And theres even some evil mothers
Well theyre gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Yknow that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, yknow, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldnt turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldnt turn around and hate it!

Sweet jane! whoa-oh-oh! sweet jane! sweet jane!

Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when he smiles
Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when she smiles
La lala lala la, la lala lala la
Sweet jane
Sweet jane
Sweet jane

someone said these guys aren't underground because a few of their videos have a million views.

this is why i don't talk to people.

[TheBrando382]

Ringo is one of the best drummers of all time!!!

[Jörg Brüwer]

no, no, no it was maureen

[Jeezas Leezard]

This is orgasmic in many ways.

[Nitro ortiN]

AHAHAHHA you have no idea what your talking about listen to some neil pert and john bonham

[Ross Fenwick]

No, the reason you don't talk to people is because you're an odd little recluse.

[Baearr]

Its James LoveLOCK, not LoveCOCK, but your comment still made me giggle.

[GroovingPict]

are you high? ringo wasnt even the best drummer in the beatles...

[Thom Pickle]

this is coming from the killers number 1 fan...your opinion is ridiculous.

[Angela Cure]

I've been called sweet one many times but never sweet Jane.

[te0nzin]

indeed. ringo is so underestimated but if you're a drummer (like i am) then people wouldn't say these things.
