about

I've heard Velvet Underground purists write this off as a 'Non-Velvets' track, Lou Reed didn't sing it, Mo Tucker didn't play drums (that why it doesn't sound like the band) and Reed actually left the band before it's release, somewhat wiping his hands of the 'Loaded' album. (I bet he took the money, though, right?!)
Personally, I've always loved it because, like many of my favorite songs it takes me to a particular time and place, in this case Southfields, London 1984, when for a time I had rigged up a timer to my hifi so this would come on as an alarm clock! Vinyl, mind!
Can't say I've re-worked it, just had a laugh singing and playing it.
Chaars xx

lyrics

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
