Radio Paradise (mobile)

Standing on the corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack's in his corset, Jane is in her vest
Me, honey, I'm in a rock 'n' roll band
Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim
You know those were different times
All, all the poets they studied rules of verse
And those ladies they rolled their eyes

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
And Both of them save their money
When they come home from work
Sittin' down by the fire
Radio does play, look classical music there, kids
"The March Of The Wooden Soldiers"
You can hear Jack say

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Some people like to go out dancing
And other people like us, we gotta work
And there's even some evil mothers
They're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
And you know that women never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes
That children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die

Anyone who ever had a heart
And wouldn't turn around and break it
Anyone who ever played a part
And wouldn't turn around and hate it

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, oh honey, Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, oh, Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane

rabaak Mar 09, 2013 - 13:59	This song is sooo good with headphones on cranked. The bass is great throughout the song. To have the band be this tight on a live song is awesome. [ Reply ]

zigzag Jan 05, 2013 - 21:55	I love the way Lou stumbles into the first line of the first verse, treading all over Wagner's brilliant solo. You can almost see the band's collective jaw dropping in disbelief. [ Reply ]

Cowboy Junkies did a nice, sleepy cover of this song. Really, there's singing on this? LOL Sorry, I've always really liked the guitars, especially the intro. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. Steve Hunter was in the screen band for the movie "The Rose" with Bette Midler. [ Reply ]
wendyleefrancis Dec 05, 2012 - 13:07	A classic and one of my very favourites. Turn it up! [ Reply ]

skibbenr Aug 01, 2012 - 20:21	I got to see Lou Reed do this in Chicago in the day. That was one one the best R'n'R shows I ever saw. Right up there with Bob Dylan and the Band in '74, the Who (doing Tommy and Quadrphenia) and the Dead every time. [ Reply ]

martinc Jul 27, 2012 - 13:27	Just when the guitar blast into the chords Lou hits the stage. It was powerful intro. [ Reply ]

misterbearbaby May 30, 2012 - 11:55	A monument to a generation. Thanks for saying the prayers I needed so bad when I was a kid, Lou. [ Reply ]
Baketown May 30, 2012 - 11:55	Bill, You should play Crystal River by Mudcrutch Following this version of Sweet Jane, it has a very similar feel! [ Reply ]
d-don May 30, 2012 - 11:52	Epic. and timeless. [ Reply ]
toterola Apr 28, 2012 - 18:23	For the last 38 years, whenever I hear those opening chords I know it's time to put down the tools and ROCK! [ Reply ]
Bobert_ParkCity Apr 28, 2012 - 18:16	Now Jackie - he's a banker. And Jane - she's a clerk. Always loved that line and the guitar god intro.... [ Reply ]
