Lou Reed
Sweet Jane (Version 1 / Live At The Matrix, San Francisco)
[Pre-Chorus]
Anyone whoever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it
[Chorus]
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane
[Verse 2]
Ah, waitin' down on the corner
Miss Jimmy and Miss Anne
They said, "Let's go up to Billy's house
He's got a couple of strange friends there"
So I went up to the fourth floor
And much to my surprise
Nobody looked at my body
They were all lookin' at my eyes
[Chorus]
Oh, sweet Jane
Oh sweet Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane
[Verse 3]
Well, Saturday down by the river
Everybody said that it was going to overflow
And me, I had no money for a taxi
So I figured I'd better find some place to go
So I met the strangest lady
She said that she'd make me a movie star
And she was all dressed in orange
And she had a great maroon car
[Pre-Chorus]
But anyone whoever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone whoever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it
[Chorus]
Sweet Jane
Oh, sweet Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane
[Bridge]
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to look upon me when you smile
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to look upon me when you smile
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Chorus]
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane
