Sweet Jane Lyrics - Loaded - Velvet Underground

Standin' on a 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. Huh. 

Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim 

Ya know, those were different times 

All, all the poets studied rules of verse 

And those ladies, they rolled their eyes 

Sweet Jane, whoa-uh! 

Sweet Jane, oh-ho-uh! 

Sweet Jane

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I'll tell ya sump'n' now 

Jack, he is a banker 

And Jane, she is a clerk 

And both of them save their monies 

When they get home from work 

Oooh! Sittin' down by the fire, ohhh! 

The radio does play 

The classical music there, Jim 

"The March of the Wooden Soldiers" 

All you protest kids 

You can hear Jack say, ah 

(Get ready ya'll) 

Sweet Jane 

(C'mon baby doll) 

Sweet Jane oh-oh-oh-oh-uh!

Some people, they like to go out dancin' 

And other peoples, they have to work, just watch me now! 

And there's even some evil mothers 

Well, they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt 

You know that, women never really faint 

And that villains always blink their eyes, woo! 

And that, you know, children are the only ones who blush! 

And that, life is, just to die 

And anyone who ever had a heart, oh! 

They wouldn't turn around and break it 

And anyone who ever played a part, whoa! 

They wouldn't turn around and hate it 

Sweet Jane, whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane 

Sweet Jane 

Heavenly wine and roses 

Seem to whisper to her when he smiles 

Heavenly wine and roses 

Seem to whisper to her, hey when she smiles 

La lala lala la, la lala lala la 

La lala lala la, la lala lala la
