She's my best friend

Certainly not the average girl

She's my best friend

Understands me when I'm fallin down, down, down

Oh it hurts to be that way

Down, down, down

Oh it hurts to know

That that kind of fellah is a newspaper Joe

Dropped his teeth on the floor

Caught his hand in the door

Guess that's the way that things go

If you want to see me

Sorry but I'm not around

If you want to be me

Turn around I'm by the window where the light is

She's my best friend

Better than a dog or car

She's my best friend

Understands me when I'm fallin down, down, down

Oh it hurts to be that way

Down, down, down

Oh it hurts to know that that kinda fellah

Is a Mulberry Jane

She made jam when she came

Somebody cut off her feet

Now the jelly rolls in the street

If you want to see me

Sorry but I'm not around

If you want to be me

Turn around I'm by the window where the light is

She's my best friend

Certainly not the average girl

She's my best friend

Understands me when I'm fallin...

Fallin down

Fallin down...

An excellent song that's NEVER appeared on any VU retro CDs, nor any of Lou Reed's early solo LPs...

since recently the "if you want to see me sorry but I'm not around"-line is kind of a bummer / fun spoiler eh? at least to me it is.

@sco8d Yeah, I actually see what you mean now. And Harrison was an unbelievable song writer all by himself too. I do like the Beatles a lot and I'm happy to listen to them, especially Sgt. Peppers. But the Velvet Underground is the ultimate. They are my Beatles, if that makes any sense. I listen to A LOT of different music but The Velvet Underground would have to be that band that if at gun point, I was forced to pick a band , I would pick without hesitation.

@sco8d Yeah you're right. I meant to say one of the first bands. I love the Kinks as well. I'm starting to see that the Beatles are a tad overrated. Other greater bands don't get the same recognition or didn't when they came out. Just look at VU. And it's young woman, not man. Girls can have sweet taste in music too. :)

@shoekstra1419 I KNOW! I love that line. I wonder what it's about. It just sounds macabre to me but I bet there's a meaning to it. I fucking love Lou Reed.

@Darksunshinerain87 Plus the Beatles really didn't do anything knew except for Acid Rock and Psychedllic rock. Their music is pansy ass compared to the VU. And Nazareth revelutionized music a lot more than you think. Maybe not as whole they didn't influence as many bands as the Beatles or The VU. But Nazareth was part of the elite that helped create metal as well as being one of the most versatile bands of all time. Dan McCafferty of Nazareth has so much range and versatility in his vocals.

@Darksunshinerain87 Nazareth isn't just metal bud. Also you should listen to Epitaph by Judas Priest. Judas Priest I will give you is a essentially a metal band but they do have some softer stuff. But you know nothing about Nazareth they are one of the first to create metal but they have a lot of other stuff. The best evidence is in there first and second album. Also you are wrong about the Beatles being the first band to write and record their own music plenty of other artists had done that.

@hermygagala Well, I don't think the Beatles are overrated. They were way ahead of their time musically and lyrically. They were the first band to write their own songs and play their own music officially and they incorporated elements from every musical genre, like classical and baroque. I mean, what band was doing that stuff at that time. No, the Beatles deserve the recognition they get but so do bands like VU. As far as Nazareth and Judas Priest, I could care less. I really hate metal.

@Darksunshinerain87 They are a much better band by far than the beatles. Regardless of influence the better band is VU. My favorite band of all time is Nazareth. No disrespect to VU the VU is tied with Judas Priest for 3rd place. VU without a doubt the best psycedellic band of all time then Grateful Dead. I hate how the Beatles are so overrated.

The Velvet Underground was just as influential as the Beatles if not more. Yeah, I fucking said it. Best band ever.
