Lyrics:
Standing on the corner,
suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, and Jane is her vest,
And me I'm in a rock'n'roll 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!
I'll 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 there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldn't 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
Observaciones:
Sweet Jane es una canción muy interesante de cara a un directo y muy versatil. En la versión textual tiene un rollo funky bastante interesante, aunque probablemente tiene mucha más aceptación la versión roquera, con introdución, que aparece en el R&R Animal de Reed, probablemente en mejor disco de R&R en directo que se hará nunca.
Sorprende ver a Reed con el pelo amarillo canario, color platanito, platanito como el platano de Warhol, lider ideológica de la primera Velvet Underground, con aquella otra chica rubia centroeuropea que no cantaba muy bien, pero que estaba buena. Reed es un tipo serio y soso. Una buena anécdota que lo corrobora es cuando dejó colgados a Pradera y Schwartz a los 5 minutos de la entrevista de Lo+Plus, un programa de entrevistas español en directo del Canal+ de los 90.
