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 »

My mama told me, 
Ever since I was seven,
Hold your head up high.
My parents told my 
Ever since I was eleven,
"Hold your head up high."
They said the answer 
Was to become a dancer,
Hold your head high.
Oh, just like I figured, 
They're always disfigured
With their heads up high.

Now I'm older, 
I'm getting so much bolder
With my head up high
Oh, as I figured, 
Just like I figured
Since your head's up high, baby.
Oh, just like I figured,
You know, they was disfigured
Hold your head up high.
You know, they says the answer 
Was to become a dancer
Hold your head high, boy.

Ever since I was a baby 
On my mama's knee,
Oh, just listened to what 
Everybody told me,
Oh yes I did. 
But still the answer 
Was to become a dancer,
And hold your head high,
But, just like I figured, 
They're always disfigured,
They hold their heads up high, 
Watch out!

Do the dog! Oh, watch out!
And now I'm older, 
They say I'm so much bolder
Got your head up high.
Oh, and the answer was, 
Hey, to become a dancer,
Head up high.
Well, but just like I figured, 
They're always disfigured
They got their heads up high.
But the answer was, now, 
Boy, to become a dancer
With your head up high

Head up high,
Head up high
