Best Song About Jane

Sweet Jane. One of the coolest songs ever recorded.

and it's the best version of it i've ever heard.

on the NYC Man compilation better than the original. Great song either way.

*sigh*

there is a young lady named Jane, who's just taken her bar exam. The song we embarrass her with is "Jane's Getting Serious" by Jon Astley.

besides "Jane Says". The others are just imposters...

Just boys though, boohoo.

A Zappa composition.

Jane you say its all over for you and me girl
There's a time for love and a time for letting it be baby
Jane you're playing a game called, called hard to get by its real name,
Making believe that you just don't feel the same. oh jane

Jane you're playing a game you never can win girl
You're staying away so I'll ask you where you been baby
Like a cat and a mouse, (cat and a mouse) from door to door and house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know what I'm talking about

Were all those nights we spent together, hey hey
Only because you didn't know better, I gotta know
Jane, you're playin a game, playin' a game, playin' a game

(jane, jane, jane)

Ah Jane you're playing a game of hide and go seek
Jane you're playing for fun but I play for keeps, yes I do
(jane, jane, jane) that's a game on me
(jane, jane, jane) so plain to see
Janey jane why you foolin with me

A great beat and I love the piano. I always crank up the radio when it come on.

What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore

It's a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it

I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane
What's the point of trying to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for

Well it's full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist on heading

Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy
Please don't censor your tears

You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry

Tell me
Tell me
What's the matter Mary Jane...

I or II

the album by Maroon 5- thank God that wasn't it.

Woman...
woe-man...
whoooa-man.
She was a thief,
you got to believe,
she stole my heart and my cat.
Judy,
Betty,
Josie and those hot Pussycats...
they made me horny,
on Saturday morning...
girls of cartoo-ins
will leave me in ruins...
I want to to be Betty's Barney.
Jane...
get me off this crazy thing...
called love.

by Dylan, covered by many.

Slade. :headbang:

Dylan and, on at least one occasion, the Dead.

It's one of many cool story-songs on their Weird Tales album. I was a little disappointed with their new one, but it still had some good stuff.

I also like Jefferson Starship's "Jane" and the Rolling Stones' "Lady Jane" as well; I guess those would be my runners-up.

Another vote for Lou Reed.
