Velvet Underground, The - Head Held High Lyrics
My mama told me, ever since I was seven,
Hold your head up high.
My parents toldmy ever since I was eleven,
"Hold your head up high."
They said the answer was to become a dancer,
Oh, just like I figured, they're always disfigured
With their heads up high.
Now I'm older, I'm getting so much bolder
With my head up high
Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
Since your head's up high, baby.
Oh, just like I figured,
You know, they was disfigured
Hold your head up high.
Hold your head high, boy.
Ever since I was a baby on my mama's knee,
Oh, just listened to what everybody told me,
Oh yes I did. But still the answer was to become a dancer,
And hold your head high,
But, just like I figured, they're always disfigured,
They hold their heads up high, Watch out!
Do the dog! Oh, watch out!
And now I'm older, they say I'm so much bolder
Got your head up high.
Oh, and the answer was, hey, to become a dancer,
Head up high.
Well, but just like I figured, they're always disfigured
They got their heads up high.
But the answer was, now, boy, to become a dancer
With your head up high
Head up high,
Head up high...

Velvet Underground, The Head Held High Comments
Lou never sang better than on Loaded. The guitars were pretty darn good too, but who knows who was playing what, right?
I had to break the work first to see what unknown song of the stones is running there… and then the Velvet Underground :) damn i love yt!
What's the band?
The Velvet Underground dummy
Sounds like Rolling Stones
Gonzalo Rosas i can see it. I prefer this kind of guitar tho
The Exile On Main Street era
This song is pure righteous defiance. Beautiful.
Shawn McClearn i think the discription is spot on
Swear Julian Casablancas' (Singer for the The Strokes) vocal style comes directly from this song...
