There she goes again
She's out on the streets again
She's down on her knees, my friend
But you know she'll never ask you please again

Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes
She won't take it from just any guy, what can you do
You see her walkin' on down the street
Look at all your friends she's gonna meet
You better hit her

There she goes again
She's knocked out on her feet again
She's down on her knees, my friend
But you know she'll never ask you please again

Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes
Like a bird, you know she would fly, what can you do
You see her walkin' on down the street
Look at all your friends that she's gonna meet
You better hit her

Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes
Like a bird, you know she will fly, fly, fly away
See her walking on down the street
Look at all your friends that she's gonna meet

She's gonna bawl and shout
She's gonna work it
She's gonna work it out, bye bye
Bye bye baby
All right

60s Garage soared way, way above this.  Of course the others were one hit wonders who rapidly vanished unlike our dear, precious Velvet's

Is this the same song as The La's?

when I first started listening to the La's song, I thought it was a cover...then I heard more and wondered, 'are they children trying to write a less brutally honest tune?' but I doubt they listened to Lou Reed...

Yes indeed.  The R.E.M. rendition was the first version of this song I heard, to the point that I had to check what was playing just now.

That's just wrong, no matter your taste. This station could be better.  
 

There is literally twenty years difference between these bands. If Cranberries is in heavier rotation, it's probably because more of the audience enjoy Cranberries than Lou Reed. It was the same way when VU was a working band. They were crowded out by insipid pop songs. This song is a half-hearted  attempt by Lou Reed et al at a radio friendly pop song.The Cranberries were a fine band, not great but good. A little confused.

Velvet Underground were always crystal clear in their paradigm. It just wasn't shared by the middle class. By the way, Andy Warhol spent more time attempting to get the album cover right than producing the album's music.

All day every day sharing things "deplorable" etc. Once in a while there'll be a really cool thing that's not related to politics, so I stay connected, but unfollowed her and only go there once in a while to look for the good stuff.

You're not alone there, and there's no reason to be sad about it! 

The Velvets and Big Star each pretty much flew under the radar the entire time they were in their prime.

  That was the whole point, my friend. VU had the low-tech DIY ethos of punk rock decades before it became a movement.

It was partly a reaction to highly produced music like Phil Spector's 'Wall of Sound' style (also in mono, IIRC), and the polished voices of 'professional' singers.

But it sure ain't everyone's cuppa tea, I'll grant you that.


Posted 13 years ago by cc_rider    [ Reply ]
anyway...this is far from the best of the earliest period. So groundbreaking in so many other songs . I'll Be your Mirror/ Heroin/All Tomorrow's Parties /Waiting for My Man... really stretched the envelope.

Anyway, the lo-fi sound is part of the charm for many VU fans

He did write "peek at", indicating "a quick look" at, so the spelling is correct.  Stylistically, it would probably be better to avoid using a verb with visual implication to describe an aural experience - but that's just me, perhaps.  Great song, by the way.  What makes me curious about his post is why he is "amazed that rock 'n roll survived this era".

My, aren't you the tolerant one? It's not perhaps a little harsh to think that folk deserve to be burned to death for disliking a band? Or have I missed some subtle irony?

A fine enough song to my ears, having never even heard the VU in their heyday. 7 from the Nottingham jury.
