Lou Reed - Doin' The Things That We Want To Lyrics






The other night we went to see sam's play
Doin' the things that we want to
It was very physical it held you to the stage
Doin' the things that he wants to

Doin' the things that he wants to

The guy's a cowboy from some rodeo
Doin' the things that he wants to
The girl had once loved him, but now she want to go
Doin' the things that she wants to

Doin' the things that she wants to

The man was bullish, the woman was a tease
Doin' the things that they want to
They fought with their words, their bodies and their deeds
Doin' the things that they want to
When they finished fighting, they exited the stage
Doin' the things that they want to
I was firmly struck by the way they had behaved
Doin' the things that they want to

Doin' the things that they want to
Hey

It reminds me of the movies marty made about new york

(doin' the things that he wants to)
Those frank and brutal movies that are so brilliant
(doin' the things that he wants to)
"true love" meet "the raging bull"
(doin' the things that he wants to)
They're very inspirational, I love the things they do
(doin' the things that he wants to)

Doin' the things that I want to

There's not much you hear on the radio today
(doin' the things that we want to)
But you could still see a movie or a play
(doin' the things that we want to)
Here's to "travis bickle" and here's "johnny boy"
(doin' the things that we want to)
Growing up in the mean streets of new york
(doin' the things that we want to)
I wrote this song 'cause I'd like to shake your hand
(doin' the things that we want to)
In a way you guys are the best friends I ever had
(doin' the things that we want to)

Doin' the things that we want to

That we want to
A true love

    W.... B....

    Absolutely, kind of a tribute to artists in new York in the 70's which they all lived through

  3. A.... ....

    Mmm, the classic Wico Joystick

  4. r.... l....

  7. P.... V....

    Great song .Iwas firmly struck by the way they behaved

  13. B.... H....

    Some people think. Some people don't it's a simple equation. Here's to Johnny boy.

  14. E.... L....

    soooooooooooo much people unaware of this song

    E.... L....

    Or album!

    E.... L....

    I bought this and Rock N’ Roll Heart long ago when I moved out. New Sensations is really amazing; especially when you compare it some of the not-so-great Lou Reed albums from the same decade.

  15. J.... C....

    In that way, u r one of my best friends Lou!

  16. s.... e....

    Just might be my fave LP from him. Lots of great tunes.

  17. R.... F....

    Bob Dylan once said he'd wished he had written this song as it was so good!

    R.... F....

    I care. Piece of shit.

    R.... F....

    Bob knew great music when he heard it.....nuff said.

    R.... F....

    That guy has so much money . He could do great things for the world, but he doesn't. He's no philanthropist he's a hypocrite

    R.... F....

    Dylan never said that.

    R.... F....

    Rob Fournier Did Dylan have like a list of songs he wished he had written or something? Cos i swear i heard somewhere that he also wished he had written a Johnny Thunders tune

  18. C.... B....

    Love this song ... still have the LP, nice track

  19. E.... B....

    Absolutely beautiful, New Sensations is a realy underestimated album, RIP Lou.

    E.... B....

    Eprocto Boy Totally!

  20. j.... n....
