Anyone who's ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Oh Sweet, Sweet Jane
You're waiting for Jimmy down in the alley
Waiting there for him to come back home
Waiting down on the corner
And thinking of ways to get back home
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Oh Sweet, Sweet Jane
Anyone who's ever had a dream
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's ever been lonely
And anyone who's ever split apart
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Oh Sweet, Sweet Jane
Heavenly widened roses
Seem to whisper to me when you smile
Heavenly widened roses
Seem to whisper to me when you smile
La la la la la la la...
Sweet Jane
Sweet, Sweet Jane

The Stevie-Nicks-Shakevoice and rushed chorus lyrics in this version leave a bit to be desired. Give me the studio version any day. Maybe, yeah...still had I been there I would have probably been quite pleased. |

They are, mostly, playing different songs. Even the lyrics aren't totally shared. Lou Reed's version truly smokes while the CJ's let you enjoy their understated, but excellent, version. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jun 09, 2012 - 11:42 I'm a lover of this marvelous cover... |
| Gregorama (Austin, TX) | Posted: May 24, 2012 - 11:28 I didn't like te studio version and don't like this any better.
I've always found her style to seem kind of mopey. It sounds like she's perpetually bummed out. To me anyway. |

Interesting that you use the term "England" instead of "Great Britain"... my Scottish relatives think you are a moronic jerk who is the result of intense inbreeding... we are a long ways from 1750, poacher, so make all the excuses and rationalizations for yourself that you wish... the studio version of this cover is from a truly magnificent album... everybody in my hotel room loves it... |

| hencini | Posted: Sep 29, 2011 - 17:27 Cool!! From a live song that sounds like Lou Reed to a live song that was written by Lou Reed!! Love this song in both VU and CJ trim... : ) |
| nalle (Malmo, Sweden) | Posted: Aug 29, 2011 - 07:56 Soooo god for my ears :) Love her voice and this is a great cover. |
| Mita (Santa Fe, NM) | Posted: Aug 13, 2011 - 15:15 One of the few covers of any song that is decent. |

| andrewlevert | Posted: Jul 13, 2011 - 06:37 The Trinity Sessions version of Sweet Jane is 10x better. The acoustics in that Toronto church are amazing and work perfectly for Sweet Jane. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Apr 25, 2011 - 07:34 Yeah, this is awesome... brings back some memories... very soothing... love it... |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Apr 09, 2011 - 09:24 Love the piano on this version... |

| wenatchee (Duvall, WA) | Posted: Feb 21, 2011 - 07:16 I like her voice, but it comes off a few notches lower than what I would expect. Just once it would be nice to see her amp it up a bit. |
