Die Cowboy Junkies sind eine unbekannte, wenn bekannt, dann doch unterschätzte kanadische Band. Ihre erste Platte bestand bis auf ein Lied aus Coverversionen amerikanischer Bluesmusiker. Eigentlich sind sie eine Familienband: Drei Geschwister und ein Freund von Kindesbeinen an.
1988 nahmen sie in einer Kirche ihr zweites Album auf, die Trinity Sessions. Hier die Coverversion eines Velvet Underground Liedes:
Minimalistische, vorwiegend akustische Arrangements begleiten den ruhigen, besänftigenden, sehr körperlichen Gesang Margo Timmins. Seit 39 Jahren sind sie auf der Bühne, ohne Skandale, mit der richtigen politischen Einstellung. For anyone who’s ever had a heart:
Anyone who's ever had a heartWouldn't turn around and break itAnd anyone who's ever played a partWouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, sweet JaneOh, sweet, sweet Jane
You're waiting for Jimmy down in the alleyYou were waiting there for him to come back homeYou're waiting down on the cornerAnd thinking of ways to get back home
Sweet Jane, sweet JaneAh, sweet, sweet Jane
Anyone who's ever had a dreamAnyone who's ever played a partAnyone who's ever been lonelyAnd anyone who's ever split apart
Sweet Jane, sweet JaneOh, sweet, sweet Jane
Heavenly wine and rosesSeem to whisper to me when you smileHeavenly wine and rosesSeem to whisper to me when you smile
La-la-la-la, la-la-laLa-la-la, la-la-laNa-na-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-na
Sweet JaneSweet, sweet Jane
Wer noch will: Hier die Originalversion mit Lou Reed. Aber ganz anderer Text.
Standin' on a cornerSuitcase in my handJack's in his car, says to Jane, who's in her vestAnd me, I'm in a rock 'n' roll band
Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, JimYou know those were different timesAll, all the poets studied rows of verseAnd those ladies, they rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane, ohSweet Jane, oh, ohSweet Jane
I'll tell you somethin' of Jack, he is a bankerAnd Jane, she is a clerkAnd the both of them save their moneysAnd when, when they come home from work
Ooh, sittin' by the fire, ooh
The radio just played a little classical music that jamThe march of the wooden soldiersAll you protest kids, you can hear Jack sayGet ready ya
Sweet Jane, ah, come on baby nowSweet JaneSweet Jane
Some people like to go out dancingAnd other people, they have to work, just watch me nowAnd there's always some evil mothersWell they gonna tell you that everything is just of dirt
You know that women never really faintAnd that villeins always blink their eyes, oohAnd that you know children are the only ones who blushAnd that life is just to die
But anyone with or had a heart, ohThey wouldn't turn around and break itAnd anyone who ever played the part, ohThey wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane, oh-whoaSweet JaneSweet Jane
Heavenly wine and rosesSeem to whisper to her when he smilesHeavenly wine and rosesSeem to whisper to her, hey, when she smiles
La, la, la, la-la-laLa, la, la, la-la-laLa, la, la, la-la-laLa, la, la, la-la-la
Sweet JaneSweet JaneSweet JaneSweet JaneSweet JaneSweet Jane
