Guess I'm Fallin In Love (Live)
-Lou Reed

I got my fever
In my pocket & it's down to my shoes
Hey, baby, guess I'm falling in love

Get my ready steady promise goin to work one fine day
Hey now baby, I guess I'm falling in love

I got my fever in my pocket
& everybody's easy to know
Meanwhile people get ready
I goin to work out fine
Work out alright

I got a move that
Tryin to fill my shoes
Whoa babe, guess I'm falling in love

I got fever in my pocket
Down to my shoes
Whoa babe, I guess I'm falling in love

I got my fever in my pocket
& everybody's easy to know
& now I'm gettin ready
It's gonna work out fine
Work out alright

i'm gonna get some some life
I breathe it in my shoes
Whoa babe, I guess I'm fallin in love
Oh baby, I guess I'm fallin in love
Whoa baby, I guess I'm fallin in love

The information that I have it that this piece was recorded at The Gymnasium, NY, April 1967.

Great take of this song. It always seems that the unreleased versions have more energy.

This is one of the songs Lou Reed did for Pickwick Records, already with John Cale, as The Primitives or The Falling Spikes, can't remember exactly right now. They appeared on a local TV channel to promote the single, a few months before starting The Velvets with Sterling Morrison & first drummer Angus McLise, in 1965. The song has been released on the album Another View (1986) as an instrumental, with no vocals, for reasons better known by Polydor. Also known as Fever In My Pocket on bootlegs

@aeschhere even though the stones were around earlier, i think the velvets are the greatest act of the 60s, together with the Stooges and Hendrix

[LadyStardustVertigo]

Christ, why do all the best songs (especially by VU) always end up being Z-sides? It would fit perfectly on White Light / White Heat, I presume.

[redstarboy93]

I got my fever in my pocket down in my shoes ::))) !

Loulou at his best !!
