Lou Reed - Home Of The Brave Lyrics
Here's to Johnny with his Jo
and Mickey's got a wife
And here's to Jerry
he has got his Joyce
in my boots tonight
For the daughters and the sons
lost in the home of the brave
And here's to the home of the brave
And here's to the life that's not saved
Here's to the home of the brave
Here's to the home of the brave
Here's to Frank hit in some bar
And here's to a friend who jumped in front of a train
at seven o'clock one night
And another friend who thinks he lacks worth
has disappeared from sight
Somewhere in the home
of the brave
And here's to the home of the brave
And here's to the life that's not saved
Here's to the home of the brave
Here's to the home of the brave
The stars are hiding in their clouds
the street lights are too bright
A man's kicking a woman
who's clutching his leg tight
And I think suddenly of you
and blink my eyes in fright
And rush off to the home
of the brave
And here's to the home of the brave
Here's to the home of the brave
And here's to the life that is saved
Here's to the home of the brave
And everyday you have to die some
cry some and die some
And everyday you have to die some
cry some and die
In the home of the brave
Home of the brave

Lou Reed Home Of The Brave Comments
love lou reeds music. too many militaristic images on video.
turned it off. its called taste. trust me . its a european thing.
ged from rosneath.
This song has always touched me. It was on "Legendary Hearts," the follow-up LP to the great "The Blue Mask" record. "Legendary Hearts" received very little advance publicity. Even though I was a huge Lou Reed fan, the first I heard of it was when I was browsing at a record store and they started playing it. It was just serendipity that I happened to be in that store at that moment. I bought it immediately. I think it is almost on equal footing with "The Blue Mask."
When I hear this song, I think of "the home of the brave" as a state of mind, a place where people go when they are extremely depressed or have given up hope, a place where they would rather face death than life.
Lou would've loved it. After he got done being pissed off because he didn't do the video.
You can hear Quine's distorted guitar a thousand miles away in the background lol
This song is so alcoholic...really make me wanna do some heavy load of booze beer ecc
beers for farm animals
a musical pop jewel and masterpiece of minimalism. Just great.
Oh that bass. Mr Saunders i think has allreade a seat ready in heaven!
This album is so chilled. Loving it! I only wish I could've seen Lou live. He was one of the all time greats, the wily ol' bastard. RIP my man, my inspiration.
One of the most beautiful songs Lou ever wrote. Thankyou
Great work John.
Beautiful video! (y)
Thank you for your storys
It's one of the few albums I don't have. Lou Reed could be so nasty and harsh but someone who write such lyrics can't be as bad as i seems. I think at this time he quited his bad habits of beeing a heavy drinker. RIP wherever you are
John E. Williams you did this song and the deserted souls who gave but never received justice. Excellent job. Thanks for posting this touching video.
real good

how much dreams did i dream, listening Lou Reed's music. How much did I think about my world...
