Standin' on a corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack's in his corset, Jane is in her vest
and me I'm in a rock 'n' roll band. Huh.
Riding a Stutz Bear Cat, Jim
ya know, those were different times
all the poets studied rules of verse
and those ladies they rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Now Jack, he is a banker
and Jane, she's a clerk
and both of them save their monies
when they get home from work
sittin downby the fire
Ooo, the radio does play
the classical music there, Jim
The March of the Wooden Soldiers
All you protest kids
you can hear Jack say
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Some people they like to go out dancin
and other people they have to work. Just watch me now
and there's even some evil mothers
Well there gonna tell you that everthing is just dirt
you know that women never really faint
and that villians always blink their eyes
that children are the only ones who blush
and that life is just to die
But anyone who ever had a heart
they wouldn't turn around and break it
and anyone who ever played a part
They wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, Sweet Sweet Jane
The Velvet Underground were an influential American rock band active from 1964 to 1973. Formed in New York by Lou Reed (vocals, guitar), John Cale (viola, keyboards), Sterling Morrison (guitar) and Maureen Tucker (drums), the group is known for introducing experimental elements into rock, influencing genres such as punk, indie, and electronic music. Their sound, characterized by provocative lyrics and minimalist melodies, often explored themes of drugs, sexuality, and social marginalization. Nico, a German singer, joined the band for their debut album (1967), considered a classic of underground rock. After Cale's departure in 1968, the Velvet Underground continued to record with Doug Yule (bass, keyboards). Their most famous work is probably "The Velvet Underground and Nico", produced by Andy Warhol. Other important albums include "White Light/White Heat" (1968) and "Loaded" (1970), the latter achieving modest commercial success. After the band's dissolution, Lou Reed embarked on a successful solo career, while the other members continued to collaborate with various artists.
