Anyone who ever 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 Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Oh, Sweet-Sweet Jane Waitin' for Jimmy down by the alley waitin' there for him to come home Waitin' down on another corner figurin' ways to get back home Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Oh, Sweet-Sweet Jane Anyone who ever had a dream anyone who's ever played a part Anyone who's gonna live lonely anyone who's ever split apart Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet-Sweet Jane Heavenly wine and roses seem to whisper to me, when you smile Heavenly wine and roses seem to whisper to me, when you smile La-la-la-la, na-na-na na-na-na-na, na-na-na La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la la-la-la-la, la-la-la Oh, Sweet Jane Sweet-Sweet Jane

This version is my favorite.It brings out the loneliness and hopeless dreams in us.I love it.God bless you if you're listening to this song.

Cowboy Junkies version is modeled after this version! I always wondered where they learned the version that they used as the basis for their cover (which is fabulous), since it wasn't the version from the VU album, nor was it an early demo version. Glad to finally find this version and have the mystery solved!

[@bingsinatra5283]

Late reply... they would've heard this version, it's on '1969 The Velvet Underground Live'.

Beautiful version. The "heavenly wine and roses, seem to whisper to me, when you smile... " piece is gorgeous ❤️

@The imposter imposter Funny both originated from the name "The Warlocks"

[@thenobs123]

This version is by far the best. I love the omission of bm and slowing things down. the changed around lyrics help, but what makes it great is the lead guitar melody with the hammer-on of the rhythm on the g chord. Killer

[@gonzalohernan4169]

+thenobs123 The hammer-on. That's everything.

[@mcfontaine]

I love the mid section, not so much for it, but for coming back out of it into the chorus, it's so powerful.

Not to mention the bass fills on the bridge.

[@mikefrance7498]

This whole concert to me is a 10 rating!!!!

[@brandonh.441]

Live at the Matrix one of the best live albums

[@Gretchen5446]

Sooooooo Beautiful! Best version ever ,makes me cry.

[@gregormiller4037]

I think the best version is their live version in Paris 1974...Unfortunately I can't find a good recording :/

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! sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! sweet Jane! 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 (Get ready ya'll) Sweet jane! (C'mon baby doll) Sweet jane! oh-oh-a! sweet jane! 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 feign And that villains always blink their eyes, oooh! And that, you know, children are the only ones who blush And that life is just to die But anyone who ever had a heart, ohh! They wouldn't turn around and break it And anyone who's ever played a part, ohh! They wouldn't turn around and hate it 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

[@steviesevieria1868]

Yes, these are the lyrics to the great studio version. Not what we’re hearing here though. Lou liked to change things up.

[@huntersmith1937]

Ive been searching for this version, totally my cup of tea. Man these guys were so great. If i could time travel for one day let me tell ya

[@CarlosVargas-cn7rx]

Me sorprendió escucharla en la radio, Sweet Jane debe ser una de las canciones más hermosas jamás escritas, pero la dulzura de esta versión sobrepasa a la gentileza del álbum y a la energía de Rock and Roll Animal.

[@gonzalohernan4169]

Simply beautiful. Best version ever.

[@yuyanhe7431]

Best version.

[@jimhinkley8983]

i don't think it's on the 1969 version? I was the same. This version is much clearer and you can hear the audience too...

[@kanolemaster]

BEST VERSION... right in the feelings

[@Harold710]

I remember seeing them in a small cafe in Philly @ 1968, Mo was their drummer (stand up drum set). I liked their music.

Wrong album cover

This version makes me laugh. I really don't like it now, as I haven't liked it when I heard it for a very first time.
