Velvet Underground, The - Sweet Jane Lyrics

Those were different times.

"But I said, "Should a man like me run away?....I will not go!" Ne 6:11 Niv

If someone told me this was the Stones, I’d’ve believed them for sure

The beginning takes me to paradise, but when the song ends i come back to hell or earth again.

I practised guitar every day for three years in return for a total of about 30 seconds of pure bliss.
Worth every second. Practice, practice, practice.
And as Jesus said - try not to be a fuckwit.

Should have been a huge hit.

Who Is listening while a spike in the vein? 😆

I heard this in a CSI episode (season 7)

Whats this LP worth now? I've got a crate of old classic LP's.

Michael Noller You can’t sell it!

Me gusta mas con sound direct ..

0:04 - 0:20

Have not heard this one for years o m g

All I can say is ....cool

escaped me till me 50s ...lucky old cunt that i am .xx

It's what all that who get it, wished they were, and what who all that don't get it wished they knew....

It’s definitely a toss up between who has the coolest singing voice of all time, Lou Reed or Bob Dylan?

Sean Stewart hard decision

Excellenta

Overrated, but still great.

I love how magical this intro sounds

In their time they were not popular. Their music was not considered commercial and it was not played on the radio stations largely because they sang about drugs, lonely people, lost souls, homeless, alcoholics, societal dregs, race relation, interracial sex....you could not play a song with lyrics like Heroin it's my life, it's my wife, it will be the death of me.or about waiting on a street-corner on Sunday Morning to buy a bag of smack.or you are waiting for the man with 26 dollars in you hand..in the 1960's so their exposure to a greater audience was limited to the hipsters and the counter-culture which has been exaggerated in its size and influence over the years. Magazines to promote the new musical meme's of the 1960's were in their infancy and had limited circulation also limiting their audience. These magazines also harshly criticized groups like the Velvet Underground especially the vocals of Nico, who was part of the group at the insistence of Andy Warhol, who was managing the group. It did not help their popularity that they also recorded for Verve Records which was, at that time, considered a Jazz label and only started exploring the new popular forms of music in the mid 60's signing groups like the Mothers of Invention, Rare Earth, and the Blues Project.

Damn, I have to break up with a girl named Jane. That is gonna fucking suck. Oh well.

ah, bebop

This is one of those songs that’s never loud enough.

just watch me now---------

very cool very epic very sexy

“The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band” Brian Eno
Hence the influence of the album.

This song sucks

one of his best songs !

Sweet Jillian!

fucking mental... I just got asked to say shit about Andy Warhol. Fuck that, as if that will happen.

Pony Cars...1960s...

Could some please give the name of that beautiful intro? Or is it a part of the song?

@Richard Flop Ok. Thank you. I guess that the intro was a cover of another song. Again, thank you.

It remembers "like swimming" of the foals, listen you'll be surprised

Lou Reed is such a visionary he even invented Spongebob music 0:03-0:20

White light white heat

Welcome Supreme Hypebeast trying to relate

i'm on my umpteen cigarette of the day and well into the second bottle of cheap corner shop piss.......and this is.......fantastic

Hi Bukowski.

hi , as i said already ;i give guitar lessons in french and for french talking people here is sweet jane :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFUvSV8AuCE&t=23s Cheers

Lou Reed was such a cunt. Sure, he made great music and contributed in a big way, but if you ever see his interviews he's a drugged out cunt half the time; the other half of the time he's wishing he was high and being a cunt.

my teenage/heroin years, got nothing else to say. It makes me cry even when I'm happy.

"and anyone who had ever played a part..."

I love VU

Why does everyone brag bout discovering VUs when they were a teenager? It's like we have a mental illness where we have to let everyone know we liked cool music at a young age

thanks for posting this song , my c.d. doesn't work no more...!!

Everything is just Dirt‼️

Thumbs down? really?

Loved playing this song and I was the bass player

Sweet Riff <3

How can anyone not tap they're foot when listening to this....❤

You can tell Black Francis liked this.

Those harmonies hit a different part of my soul than any person, drug, song, or emotion

Absolutely love the dissonance and the growling lack of harmonies at the end. Superb!

The origin of the word 'monies'

Oh, bebop!

The guy bought V.V.'s L.P. .... he played electric guitar, really

My daughter's middle name comes from this song.

Jesus.... I am late the the Velvet Underground music. I really wish I started sooner.

You know, if you were to line up everyone in the world and ask them to describe The Velvet Underground, no one AT ALL would say “bebop”?

Good call. You won't be surprised to discover that Warhol simultaneously was championing Sha Na Na 1.0, boys with bare chests beneath gold lame motorcycle jackets, reviving the music that Warhol grew up on but playing it as if they were on speed. Years before they sold out to be a TV series. Google their version of Walk Don't Run at the Fillmore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFOoX02TERA

GOOD OMENS IS MY LIFE

@Vincent Gonzales it's not punk. Have you listened to it?

bebop ???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Anthony Bourdain
Rest in Power sweeeet Bourdain

Heavenly wine and roses.....

NYC cool

Good Omens brought me here !

The chuckling on “when they come home from work” represents the exact reason why the VU were so great. Their music was relaxed and they enjoyed making it

Sei gegrüßt du grüner Fuchs

I love wondering what this song's lyrics are about.

A great poet from USA
A great artist from a great city.
Thanks Liu.

Amazing song.

Is it just me or does he sound kinda like Bob Dylan?

Eternal music.

Yeah Yeah i know, Rock n Roll Animal version. Rock n Roll Animal version, cawed the parrots. I prefer this one.

If you ever wondered where punk came from .......


wonder no more.

Lou you make happy

Like a BOSS 🤟🏽 :59 full body tingling everywhere

Yeah, that's how you know it's good rock n roll. Same thing happens to me.

This is my dope song

Nobody:
Lou Reed: "mOniES"

My favorite Rock song and version. RIP Lou Rocker of the Interzone.

The intro gives us the icing first.

Cowboy Junkies do it better

is Jane Maryjane?

One my favorites songs. Best best best pre punk song!

Excellent.. Sweet Jane

Love this album

Herrlich...lange nicht mehr gehört.

This is this song. All others are deficient.

TOP! !!

(Lyrics)
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, and jane is her vest,
And me Im in a rocknroll band hah!
Ridin in a stutz bear cat, jim
You know, those were different times!
Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse
And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

Sweet jane! whoa! sweet jane, oh-oh-a! sweet jane!

Ill tell you something
Jack, he is a banker
And jane, she is a clerk
Both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work
Oh, sittin down by the fire, oh!
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, ah

Sweet jane! come on baby! sweet jane! oh-oh-a! sweet jane!

Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work, just watch me now!
And theres even some evil mothers
Well theyre gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Yknow that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, yknow, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldnt turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldnt turn around and hate it!

Sweet jane! whoa-oh-oh! sweet jane! sweet jane!

Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when he smiles
Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when she smiles
La lala lala la, la lala lala la
Sweet jane
Sweet jane
Sweet jane

Prime Number Generator and Evaluator, L-Square Conjecture (Cartridge Wrapper GREY13A):
If you relate prime numbers to a square divided into a gnomon, which is essentially an L-square, in which the units on one side are split in the gnomon so that one side is one number more and less than the continuing side and the total number of the L is a prime number, you can check if the number is a prime by dividing both sides by three.  If either side is divisible in a whole number by three, then the number is a prime.  You can use this to create, also, formulae for creating prime numbers.

Examples:
P=1/2P + and- 1/2,  this gives two numbers (R1, and R2)
R1/3=?
R2/3=?,
For example, 47=(23), (24). 24/3=8, which is a whole number.
or,
P/2 + and -  1/2 divided = R1 and R2.  R1/3, or R/2/3 will equal a whole number proving P is prime.
3(R1)+2(R2)=P, or many other variations where you can generate primes also to a degree of 1 in 4.
or,
3x + (3x+1)=P1,
(3x+1) +3x=P2 where in either case P1, or P2 is the same prime.
Or,
If you take one side of the x and replace it with a second number y, then you can generate bigger numbers.
3x + (2y+1)=P1,
2x + (3x+1)=P2...
Be sure that the number (P) you choose is not even or end in 5.  Then it's obviously not a prime.
" A rising to power is most inappropriate to its actual journey, and most often it is your face that is most inappropriate." -Vase Basiltine
Are these prime tables used to wrap bullet cartridges or unlock computer security?  I don't know.  I don't even know if this works because no one has E-Mailed me back from MAA, NSA, RSI, etc.  3/5/19 Mesmer, Hula Hoop, Iron Curtain, Boston Massacre...
The USA.  New Mexico.  A Matrix Reloaded.  Just mentioning it because if someone can make a code then they can hack any password or anything with prime numbers, but the government already has a copy they just never responded. I had videos of it with about 2,000 hits, so either way...is this War of the Worlds?  Well, it only takes an hour and a pencil..,
-Dr. Neo Faustus

No comments?! I'll be the first. Just beautiful!!

THE VOICE OF GOD...

I think hes talking about weed

lovely singing .......beautiful music too

Cowboy Junkies version is better? Listen to Lou Reed's version from the album "Rock and Roll Animal"

When the cover of a song is way better than the original, talking about “Cowboy junkies” version, it is way better!.

Grande entre los grandes.

Not the full song

The best songs ive ever heard ever are all named "Sweet Jane"
