Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground

Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand

Jackie’s in the schoolyard, Jane is in her vest

I’m in a rock 'n' roll band

Riding a Stutz Bearcat

You know, those were different times

All the poets, they studied rules of verse

And the ladies, they just rolled their eyes

Now Jackie, he’s a banker

And Jane, she is a clerk

And both of them save up their monies

When they get home from work

Sitting right down by the fire

The radio it does play

Classical music, the March of the Wooden Soldiers

You should hear Jack say

Sweet Jane

Woah, sweet Jane

Woah, sweet Jane

Some people, they go out dancing

And some people, they have to work

And there’s even some evil mothers

Gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

They say women never really faint

And that villains always blink their eyes

Children are the only ones who blush

And that life is just to die

Well, anyone who ever had a heart

Wouldn’t turn around and break it

Well, anyone who ever played a part

They wouldn’t turn around and hate it

I say, sweet Jane

Woah, sweet Jane

Woah, sweet Jane

Woah, sweet, sweet Jane

Heavenly wine and roses

Seem to whisper to me when you smile

Sha lala lala la, sha lala lala la

Sha lala lala la, sha lala lala la

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

And anyone who ever had a heart

Wouldn’t turn around and break it

And anyone who ever played a part

They wouldn’t turn around and hate it

Does anyone have a heart?

Has anyone ever had a heart?

Has anyone ever had a heart?

Has anyone ever had a heart?

Sweet Jane
