Cover art for Oh! Sweet Nuthin lyrics by Velvet Underground, The

I think the song is about the young people that took to the cities abandoning there quaint home lives to create a life amongst the counter cultures. Oftentimes these lifestyles although edgy and lucrative left these people with nothing but there names and experiences associated with there names which is why i think first and last names are used. These people have given all they have and still remain beautiful. I think that the song touches on religion too but he is almost saying i wont pray myself but if your going to do it for these people.

My Interpretation

i can agree with this.

@bijoumoon your username wouldn't happen to be a combination of Bijou Drains and Keith Moon would it?¿
