Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane Lyrics






Anyone who's 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
Sweet, sweet Jane

You're waiting for Jimmy down in the alley
Waiting there for him to come back home
Waiting down on the corner
And thinking of ways to get back home
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane

Anyone who's ever had a dream
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's ever been lonely
And 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, la la la, [etc...]

Sweet Jane
Sweet, sweet Jane

    Female Jim Morrison

  18. O.... Z....

    Oh, oh, oh. All these years on and it still rips you up. Not quite the same as Lou Reed's original version, but it expresses the meaning so well. And Lou himself said this version was the best and caught the soul of the intent best. And who is going to argue with Lou?

  19. D.... O....

    No way!

  20. V.... ....

    ...somebody might love somebody because of this...i am serious...meg...call me...

  23. S.... B....

    Anytime I can't sleep.....Margo for the Win....👍

  24. T.... M....

    I've been in love with Margo since the mid-eighties on Maui when I read that some bozo actually thought she was a boy. I wish I had a chance to tell "this boy" that I think she has one of the sexiest voices in popular music. Hugs and kisses.

  25. S.... D....

    Anyone else wanna go murder a bunch of people? And make it look sexy.

  26. s.... ....

    Looks like the original music vid for the 'Trinity Sessions' - 1st time seen. The entire album is just brilliant - amazing live recording.

  27. D.... P....

    89' Listening to the best music

    Merry Christmas to all the people who want a merry xmas

  29. T.... E....

  30. S.... T....

    Natural Born Killers!

  31. G.... 3....

    Driving thru deserted streets after the bars closed.... still a few more hours till daylight.
    Normal people sleeping safely behind locked doors.
    Any signs of life??
    Find a girl who has as many demons as you.
    Have a fling
    Melt together
    First kiss that's your last
    Make that moment
    last forever.
    This song playing in the background......
    Still keeps me awake
    24years later
    Get behind the wheel and drive..... searching.
    For that one night that should of lasted forever.

  32. D.... R....

    Still gorgeous 2019...and beyond.❤

    D.... R....

    Rough. You are a desperate Nancy-boy

    D.... R....

    @Doug Raddi I'm a female😆

    D.... R....

    @Dustin Russel sorry but it still works because you were born a male but you think you are female, so you identify yourself as a female. Wondering if you had surgery? You know what I mean

    D.... R....

    @Doug Raddi nope...just given a boy's name. You know like Max or Sam? I am a mother...maybe you've been sheltered? Happy New Year.

    D.... R....

    @Dustin Russel I'm sorry I apologise. I don't mean to be rude

  33. d.... ....

    Wow! How to ride a sweet vibe!

  34. D.... G....

    If Lou Reed said this was the best cover of his classic....who am I to disagree??.....I've been saying it for years!!

  35. t.... n....

    whatever happened to ba

  36. M.... Y....

    can someone tell me if it is true that Austin has an annual 'Sweet Jane' contest?

  37. d.... C....

    I miss that special one that lead me to this song🐼🐼🐧🐧🌻🌻🌈🌈🌈🔯🔯🔯🌍🌍🌍🍀🌲🌳🌱

  38. S.... D....

    It's too bad she's such an despicable person.

    S.... D....

    What you mean ?

  39. s.... l....

    My husband

  40. h.... j....

    After you've heard a great record too many times, a cover version, especially done in a different style, helps you to appreciate the original. I do not like Elton John, but for this reason his cover of `Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds` is a revelation.

  41. I.... ....

    Beautiful*

  42. J.... S....

    For Butch, who turned me on to the Cowboy junkies back in the 90's. Rest in peace, brother.

  45. S.... M....

    Sweet Junlkies slow mobile dont wakem up the nightmare continues until dswn when the tent zipper is released and there is nothing but Calm normality

  46. j.... o....

    One reason Lou went to heaven

  47. J.... M....

    One of the coolest videos ever

  48. b.... b....

    I love you mikey...

  49. e.... t....

    she looks good but this song is boring, sorry, my opinion

  50. J.... R....

    So 90's...and then there was was the more distant past. I like it. I will look for more from you folks.You sound great. :)

  51. J.... M....

    Something really sexy about that chick...

  52. H.... I....

    I can feel this song actually.....

  53. V.... J....

    I remember the first time I heard Trinity session

  54. u.... ....

    Brilliant

  55. T.... I....

    Natural Born Killers

  56. K.... S....

    ⚙Playback speed at 1.25, thank me later.

  57. C.... T....

    **Richard Ramirez starts dancing**

  58. H.... L....

    This is a most beautiful song - many mant thanks.

  59. C.... K....

    The drug addict Reed could at least contribute something to human existence. He was a disgusting, pig, drug addicted, scumbag who is rotting in hell. Fuck head.

  60. R.... R....

    Buckethead cant touch that riff .

  61. J.... B....

    Thanks for sponsoring this video, Johnson & Johnson, and also for exposing lots of children to asbestos!

  62. J.... L....

    It’s so perfect. Down to how he plays the guitar with his head down, hair hanging.

  63. A.... ....

    Brilliant version! From SP - Brazil.

  64. R.... D....

    beautiful song and a very beautiful voice she has

  65. N.... 9....

    Natural Born Killers

  66. C.... P....

    Did Taylor Swift take the beginning beats of this song for her song LOVER

    C.... P....

    Dunno, but do know that this is a cover of a Velvet Underground song. So if Swift took anything, she took it from Lou Reed and the boys.

    C.... P....

    @Hyperpandas Nice...thanks for the update.

  67. I.... R....

    I hate you

  68. r.... ....

    songs one can never tire of

  69. M.... A....

    Che bravi

  70. j.... N....

    Lou Reed did a great job but this is how she heard it in her head she slowed it down, made it more bluesy I like both, it honors Lou...

  71. j.... b....

    A merciful and benevolent Universe brought me here ....... just in time ..

    j.... b....

    Welcome...stay awhile. 🌹

    j.... b....

    @William Dieringer cool and kind thing to say. Thanks. I shall. .. I'll try .

  72. M.... A....

    No offence to Lou Reed but this is the better version.

  73. P.... P....

    I haven’t heard this song in 30 years. I saw the lead singer on another channel, and she looks the same, except that she’s gray. This was alternative back then...Didn’t know it was a cover until I was older

  74. B.... M....

    ALL TIME favorite (that's saying something)

  75. J.... V....

    That bass playing is sloppy...I guess that was the point perhaps.

  76. d.... w....

    masterpiece. i hope they never underestimate how amazing a cover can be.

  77. D.... ....

    I love the el gitar. It's so perfect to none too. And she sings so nice.

  78. K.... S....

    Shaun, where ever you are, you were a sweet woman. Thanks for turning me on to this band in 1989 on GUAM. 🏝

  79. D.... M....

  83. n.... b....

    Bellissimo pezzo!

  84. J.... M....

    What a great video.

  85. B.... C....

    I give up you can do whatever you want to me ,your life and now my life only on the entire internet...you can have & already have but you will never have haley! Jose! In this life ever I promise to my mother and my own life I won't even say a word after this comment. your gonna never look into my brown eyes, face to face.. ever again

  86. R.... ....

    This is a remake of a Velvet Underground song. I must say as remakes go, this is one of the best

    R.... ....

    Lou Reed himself said after her heard it that "its theirs now".

  87. J.... M....

    It feels good to hear this

  88. s.... c....

    Saw them at Webster Hall in 2002 and they didn't even sing it (Margo sure yakked alot though). Nice tour shirt, at least.

  89. I.... S....

  94. Z.... ....

    Can't beat the Velvet Underground's but this comes close.

  95. p.... ....

    This is just so chillingly good.

  96. a.... c....

    a.... c....

    She is my sweet Jane

  97. S.... D....

    I am big fan 🎶

  98. A.... D....

    Nice Song. But there was flutter added and thats just nasty!

  99. R.... ....

    I keep forgetting how good this song actually is. One of the few which is really timeless. And this is the perfect version.
