For sure, Ecstasy from 2000 or so, loaded with great stuff, such as
"Baton Rouge" for example:

Baton Rouge

When I think of you baton rouge
I think of a mariachi band
I think of sixteen and a crisp green football field
I think of a girl I never had

When I think of you baton rouge
I think of a back seat in a car
Windows are foggy and so are we
as the police asked for our I.D.

So helpless
so helpless

Ooohhh, so helpless
ooohhh, so helpless
Ooohhh, so helpless
so helpless

Well I once had a car lost it in a divorce
the judge was a woman of course
She said give her the car and the house and your taste
or else I set the trial date

So now when I think of you baton rouge
and the deep southern belles with their touch
I wonder where love ends and hate starts to blush
in the fields in the swamps in the rush

In the terra-cotta cobwebs of your mind
when did you start seeing me as a spider spinning web
Of malicious intent and you as poor, poor me
at the fire at the joint, this disinterred and broken mount
in the bedroom in the house where we were unmarried

So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless

When was I the villa in your heart
putting the brake on your start
you slapped my face and cried and screamed
that's what marriage came to mean
The bitterest ending of a dream

You wanted children and I did not
was that what it was all about
You might get a laugh when you hear me shout
you might get a laugh when you hear me shout
I wish I had

So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless

Sometimes when I think of baton rouge
I see us with two and a half strapping sons
One and a half flushed daughters preparing to marry
and two fat grandsons I can barely carry

Daddy, uncle, family gathered there for grace
a dog in a barbecue pit goes up in space
The dream recedes in the morning with a bad aftertaste
and I'm back in the big city worn from the race of the chase
what a waste

So thanks for the card the announcement of child
and I must say you and Sam look great
Your daughter's gleaming in that -
- white wedding dress with pride
sad to say I could never bring that to you that wide smile

So I try not to think of baton rouge
or of a, of a, of a mariachi band
Or of sixteen and a crisp green football field
and the girl, and the girl I never had

So helpless, so helpless
so helpless
So helpless, so helpless
so helpless

-Lou Reed

Thanks, Will, and thanks for the poignant lyrics.

Here's the "official" website, though I've seen another one much
better... too late and tired to look right now, though:

http://www.repriserec.com/loureed/ecstasy/index2.html

Here's "Tatters" from Ecstasy:

Tatters

Some couples live in harmony
some do not
Some couples yell and scream
some do not
But what you said was something
that I can't forget
It echoes in my head
like a bullet made of lead
Some people yell and scream
and some do not
Some people sacrifice their lives
and some do not
Some people wait for sleep
to take them away
While others read books endlessly
hoping problems will go away
I know you're hoping everything
works out
Neither one of us is
the type who shouts
You sleep in the bedroom
while I pace up and down the hall
Our baby stares at both of us
wondering which one of us to call
I guess it's true that not
every match burns bright
I guess it's true
not all that I say is right
But what you said still bounces
around in my head
Who thought this could happen to us
when we first went to bed
I'm told in the end
that none of this matters
All couples have troubles
and none of this matters
But what you said
still echoes in my head
And I'm still in the hallway
downstairs sleeping alone instead
I know you don't care
but here's my last thought
Not that it matters
but here's the last thing I thought
Our little thing is lying
here in tatters
And you my dear
don't have any manners
Sad to leave this way
to leave it all in tatters
Saddening to leave this way
to leave it all in tatters
I suppose that we all could say
that nothing of it matters
Still it's sad
to see everything in tatters

-Lou Reed

In many ways my favorite LR record, which is saying plenty since I can
find something to love in all of them.

Even Metal Machine Music, though not on that day I bought it and put it
on the record player! I said surely was broken!

Glad the record store wouldn't give me a refund...

Long night acting like a failure in front of others, Will?
