"Sweet Jane" Cowboy Junkies cover of The Velvet Underground | CME Full Band Fridays

Inspired by an early arrangement of the Lou Reed song as it appeared on a relatively obscure live album by The Velvet Underground (1969), Reed himself was outspoken in his admiration for the Cowboy Junkies’ 1988 recording of “Sweet Jane,” which restores the bridge that had been cut out of the studio recording released on the 1970 LP Loaded. Covering the Cowboy Junkies’ cover of The Velvet Underground song, here’s the CME House Band quoting Lou Reed, telling our gear fans “heavenly wine and roses whisper to [us] when you smile!”

More About "Sweet Jane"
"Sweet Jane" is a song by American rock band the Velvet Underground; it appears on their fourth studio album Loaded. The song was written by Lou Reed, the band's leader, who continued to incorporate the piece into live performances as a solo artist. When Loaded was originally released in 1970, the song's bridge was cut. The box set Peel Slowly and See and reissue Loaded: Fully Loaded Edition restored the missing section. The song also appears on the albums Live at Max's Kansas City; 1969: The Velvet Underground Live; Peel Slowly and See; Live MCMXCIII; Loaded: Fully Loaded Edition; American Poet; Rock 'n' Roll Animal; Live: Take No Prisoners; Live in Italy; The Concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Rock and Roll: an Introduction to The Velvet Underground; NYC Man (The Ultimate Collection 1967–2003); Live on Letterman: Music from The Late Show; and Berlin: Live At St. Ann's Warehouse.

Lyrics:
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
