Jesus Lyrics
Jesus, help me find my proper place
Help me in my weakness
'Cos I'm falling out of grace
Jesus
Jesus
Coming down from heroin makes one feel the need for redemption. Any savior works, especially the forgiving kind.
One of my favorite VU songs though I could never really explain why because it's so simple. Only Lou Reed could take a song about religion and make it so fundamental. Jesus didn't want frills, he wanted people to come and worship god as they are. That's what Lou was tryin to show here.
I lost my virginity to this song
how was it?
how was it?

I don't think he's asking for forgiveness or redemption. He's just asking for direction. I doubt this is about drugs, or any specific event.
Lou may not be religious, and personally, I don't think this is really even about religion; it's about wanting direction and feeling lost and helpless
This is a great song thats very pretty and probably the song off of "The Velvet Underground" that first caught my attention. This song actually reminds me of Meddle-era Pink Floyd, of all people. I'm not really sure why, but i think its the opening guitar line. The lyrics are incredibly straightforward and lead me (and everyone else, im sure) to wonder if there is a hidden or deeper meaning than is apparent. It doesnt seem ironic though.
Always reminds me of the old folk songs. Yes, Lou Reed was Jewish (or at least raised Jewish) but look at all the old "pre-reborn" bob dylan songs that have Christian overtones.
I always found this song to be somewhat sincere. I agree more with the ideas of Wonder Ned - It seems to me like a rock bottom situation. Jesus, where the fuck do I go from here, I've spent my life rejecting you and currently I need some guidance. I'm very likely projecting, but I certainly feel like this song represents that for me. Almost like a last resort request, and very profoundly so. Aren't we all trying to find our 'proper' fucking place. Not a conventionally proper place, but more the idea of having a 'right' place to go to, a place were we belong. There I said it, in a borderline condescending and obvious way so sue me you fucking bastards.
