Lyrics:
Standin' on a corner,
Suitcase in my hand.
Jack's in his corset and Jane is in her vest,
Me, babe, I'm in a rock n' roll band.
Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim,
Those were different times.
And the poets studied rows of verse,
And all the ladies rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Now, Jack, he is a banker,
And Jane, she is a clerk.
And the both of them are saving up their money...
Then they come home from work.
Sittin' by the fire...
Radio just played a little classical music for you kids,
The march of the wooden soldiers
And you can hear Jack say
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Some people like to go out dancing
And other people, (like us) they gotta work
And there's always some evil mothers
They'll tell you life is full of dirt.
And the women never really faint,
And the villans always blink their eyes.
And the children are the only ones who blush.
'Cause life is just to die.
But, anyone who has a heart
Wouldn't want to turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played the part
He wouldn't want to turn around and fake it
Sweet Jane

When people like Lou Reed blossom in the culture and create and contribute to an era defining soundtrack, it makes life worth living.

[@bsadewitz]

Yeah. The people are always out there. Whether or not they're discovered/embraced--that's not so certain.

[@tonyf2346]

Incredible, feeling the music

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

For a lanky dude, guy had some huge fingers.

[@II-xl7lj]

Lanky? Did you even see him in the early 70s?

[@bellestarr6484]

Ain't nothin' better than a lanky dude with huge fingers...

[@ajaded1]

He paints a picture with his lyrics that the listener sees in their minds in addition to hearing the song. Not many artists do that. I know I have a few, but I can't think of them as I write this. Who do you think paints a picture with their lyrics?

[@webrambler88]

At least they are reacting - been to many concerts or clubs lately? Man, I hate racism - no matter where it comes from. While we are pissing on each other, the rich and powerful get richer and more powerful. Wake up.

Sorry, but in the text Lou say "jack is in his corset and jane is in her vest", not "jack is in his car says..."

There’s multiple versions, on the live rock and roll album there’s a whole different verse
