The Velvet Underground – Who Loves The Sun

Who loves the sun
Who cares that it makes plants grow
Who cares what it does
Since you broke my heart

Who loves the wind
Who cares that it makes breezes
Who cares what it does
Since you broke my heart

Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Not everyone
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun

Who loves the rain
Who cares that it makes flowers
Who cares that it makes showers
Since you broke my heart

Who loves the sun
Who cares that it is shining
Who cares what it does
Since you broke my heart

Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Not everyone
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Sun
Sun
Sun

Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Not just anyone

    General CommentIt's like the ultimate pessimist anthem.

    General CommentI kind of disagree that the songwriter himself is being pessimistic here. I think it's more of a tongue-in-cheek message about how some people are only concerned with their own problems when they have a broken heart.

    General CommentI had never thought that it was a burn on the Beatles but now that you mention it...

    I had always thought they were making fun of the Beach Boys for some reason but The Beatles makes much more sense. Love this song, the cough freaks me out and the chorus is so great.

    General Commentyeah they someone coughs! which only adds to the dreadful and so far never repeated pessimism of the song, disguised by the happy beatlesy melody. i adore it.

    General CommentThis song is amazing because the beat throws you off. It's one of the saddest VU songs.

    General CommentYes, it is a very pessimist song even though it's a fun melody. It really seems like there is somebody coughing at minute 1:05/06 !

    General CommentThis song sounds eerily like the Beatles "Here comes the sun", it seems to me that the entire album "Loaded" is maybe an attack on the Beatles
