The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City. First active from 1964 to 1973, their best-known members were Lou Reed and John Cale, who both went on to find success as solo artists. Although experiencing little commercial success while together, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups of the 1960s. An often-repeated statement, made by Brian Eno in a 1982 interview, is that while the first Velvet Underground album may have sold only 30,000 copies in its early years, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band." more »

Never been to London, 
never been to France
never was sorry 
never learned to dance
Never walked down 
to 42nd Street and Frairs
never smoked any 
filtered air

Guess it's true 
what all the people say
gonna have to mend 
my old time ways, yeah
I guess it's true, guess, 
I've lived a sheltered life

Never walked about 
on the streets at night
never got into 
an uptown fight
Never smoked a hookah, 
never saw a rug
couldn't even squash 
a beetle bug

Guess it's true 
I'm gonna have to change my ways
guess it's true 
what all the people say, yeah
I know it's true, guess, 
I've lived a sheltered life

Never went to parties 
in a chauffeured car
never wore a top hat 
'cause I won't get far
Never learned to handle 
all the things that I've seen
maybe I'll grow up 
to be big and mean

Guess it's true 
what all the people say
gonna have to change 
my old fashioned ways, well
I guess it's true, guess, 
I've lived a sheltered life
