COME ON
(C. Berry)
Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
All day long I'm walkin 'cause I couldn't get my
car started.
Laid off from my job and I can't afford to check
it,
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and
wreck it.
Come on, since me and my baby parted,
Come on, I can't get started
Come on, I can't afford to check it,
I wish somebody'd come along and run into
it and wreck it
Everything is wrong since I've been without you
Ev'ry night I lay aake thinkin' about you.
Ev'ry time the phone rings it sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy try'n to reach another number.
Come on, since I've been without you
Come on, always thinkin' about you.
Come on, phone sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy try'n to reach another number.
Everything is wrong since I last saw you, baby
I really wanna see you and I don't mean maybe.
I'm doin' ev'rything try'n to make you see
That I belong to you, hon, and you belong to me.
Come on, I gotta see you, baby
Come on, I don't mean maybe.
Come on, I'm try'n to make you see
That I belong to you, hon, and you belong to me.
Come on, I gotta see you, baby
Come on, I don't mean maybe.
Come on, I'm try'n to make you see
That I belong to you, hon, and you belong to me.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
I WANT TO BE LOVED
(Dixon)
The spark (stars) in your eyes sets my soul on fire
Your voice is like an angel above;
The touch of your hand drives me insane,
But baby, I want to be loved
I'm crazy 'bout every little thing you do
I cherish the way you hug (me);
Your kiss is so sweet, honey, it can't be beat,
But baby, I want to be loved.
Every time I ask you for a date,
You don't come at all or you're mighty late
I ask you to dance, (take) a little spin
You say, "Wait a minute, daddy, here comes my friend"
I love the way you walk when you pass me by,
Even when you try to snub (me);
You kill (kiss) me, baby when you give me the eye,
But baby, I want to be loved.
I WANNA BE YOUR MAN
(Lennon/McCartney)

(Petty/Hardin)
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I'm gonna love you night and day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
My love bigger than a cadillac

Your love for me has got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
Love is real and not fade away
Well love is real and not fade away

LITTLE BY LITTLE
(Phelge/Spector)
tried to trail you last night, baby, trail you in
my car
but i was afraid of what i was looking for
and little by little i'm losin my love for you

yeah, little by little, i'm losin my love for you

IT'S ALL OVER NOW
(B. & S. Womack)
Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Well she used to run around with every man in town
Spent all my money, playing her high class game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Tables turn and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Well I used to wak in the morning, get my breakfast
in bed
When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in
town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Yeah
Oooh
GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
There've been good times.
There've been bad times
I have my share of hard times, too
But I lost my faith in the world, honey
When I lost you
Remember the good times we've had together
Don't you want them back again
Tho' these hard times are bugging me now
Honey now it's the same
There's gotta be trust in this world
Or it won't get very far
Well, trust in someone
Or there's gonna be war
TELL ME
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I want you back again
I want your love again
I know you find it hard to reason with me
But this time it's different, darling you'll see
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You said we're through before
You walked out on me before
I tried to tell you, but you didn't want to know
This time you're different and determined to go
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
I wait as the days go by

You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me
You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

HEART OF STONE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
There have been so many girls that I've known
I've made so many cry and still I wonder why
Here comes the little girl;
I see her walking down the street
She's all by herself
I try and knock her off her feet
But she'll never break, never break, never break,
never break
This heart of stone. Oh, no, no this heart of stone
What's different about her?
I don't really know
No matter how I try
I just can't make her cry
But she'll never break, never break, never break,
never break
This heart of stone. Oh, no, no this heart of stone
Don't keep on looking that same old way
If you try acting sad, you'll only make me glad
Better listen little girl
You go on walking down the street
I ain't got no love, I ain't the kind to meet
Cause you'll never break, never break, never break,
never break
This heart of stone. Oh, no, no this heart of stone
This heart of stone,darlin'. No, no this heart of
stone
You'll never break it, darlin'. You won't break
This heart of stone. Oh, no, no, no.
You better go, you better go home...
WHAT A SHAME
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
What a shame, nothin' seems to be goin' right.
What a shame, nothin' seems to be goin' right.
Seems easy to me that ev'rything'll be all right.
What a shame, they always wanna start a fight
What a shame, always wanna start a fight
Well it scares me so I could sleep in a shelter
all night.
What a shame, ya all heard what I said
What a shame, ya all heard what I said
Ya might wake up in the morning and find your poor
self dead
THE LAST TIME
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Well I told you once and I told you twiceight.
But ya never listen to my advice goin' right.
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should be easy
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no.
Well, I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
Feelin' like I do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no.
Well I told you once and I told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here's a chance to change your mind
Cuz I'll be gone a long, long time
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know. Oh no. Oh no.
Well, this could be the last time
PLAY WITH FIRE
(Phelge)
Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your
pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with
fire
Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in Saint
John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with
fire
Your old man took her diamond's and tiaras by the
score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with
fire
Biw tiy;ve git sine diamonds and you will have some
others
But you'd better watch your step, girl
Or staret living with your mother
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with
fire
So don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with
fire
(I CAN'T GET NO) SATISFACTION
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm drivin' in my car
and that man comes on the radio
and he's tellin' me more and more
about some useless information
supposed to fire my imagination.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm watchin' my TV
and that man comes on to tell me
how white my shirts can be.
Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
the same cigarrettes as me.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no girl with action.
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm ridin' round the world
and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
and I'm tryin' to make some girl
who tells me baby better come back later next week
'cause you see I'm on losing streak.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no, I can't get no,
I can't get no satisfaction,
no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction.

GET OFF OF MY CLOUD
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor
of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a
Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind
of detergent pack
I says, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby
The telephone is ringing,
I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it ther on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine
He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
to drive me out of my head?"
I says, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this,
And decided to take a drive downtown.
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started
to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
a flag stuck on my window screen
I says, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd

THE SINGER NOT THE SONG
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
everywhere you want i always go
i always give in because, babe, you know
you just say so cause you give me that
feeling inside that i know must be right
it's the singer not the song
it's not the way you give in willingly
others do it without thrilling me
giving me that same old feeling inside that i
know i must be right
it's the singer not the song
the same old places and the same old songs
we've been going there for much too long
there's something wrong and it gives me that feeling
inside that i know i must be right
it's the singer not the song
it's the singer not the song
it's the singer not the song
AS TEARS GO BY
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by
My riches can't buy ev'rything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sond
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doin' things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by
GOTTA GET AWAY
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Baby, the truth is out so don't deny
Baby to think I believed all your lies
Darlin I can't stand to see your face
It's the truth, you understand;
I got to get away, got to get away
gotta, gotta, gotta get away
Got to get away
Baby, I don't want to live here no more
Baby, tho' I tore your pictures off my walls
Darlin' this old room's falling in on me
You understand the truth now
I got to get away, got to get away
gotta, gotta, gotta get away
Got to get away
Baby, Oh, how could you take away your clothes
Baby, don't screw up this old heart of gold
Darling, this will rule my social flare,
You understand me now
I got to get away, got to get away
gotta, gotta, gotta get away
Got to get away
19th NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal,
dull affairs
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running
up and down the stairs
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much
in too few years
And though you've tried you just can't hide your
eyes are edged with tears
You better stop, look around
Here it come, here it comes, here it come, here
it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
When you were a child you were treated kind
But you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but
still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars
tax
And your father's still perfecting ways of making
ceiling wax
You better stop, look around
Here it come, here it comes, here it come, here
it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
Oh, who's too blame, that girl's just insane
Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
It only seems to make matters worse. Oh, please
You were still in school when you had that fool who
really messed your mind
And after that you turned your back on treating
people kind
On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange yhour
mind
But after awhile I realized you were disarranging
mine
You better stop, look around
Here it come, here it comes, here it come, here
it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
Oh, who's too blame, that girl's just insane
Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
It only seems to make matters worse. Oh, please
When you were a child you were treated kind
But you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but
still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars
tax
And your father's still perfecting ways of making
sealing wax
SAD DAY
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette
Found myself when I stopped yawnin', started getting
myself dressed
Then I felt that I had a dream
I remembered the things that I'd seen
I could still hear the things you said with that
bad dream in my head
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day
So I called you on the phone and your friend said
"She's not home"
So I told her where I'd be at and that you should
call me back
Then I looked at the morning mail, I was not even
expecting a bill
Your letter-a-started "Dear," and it left me with
these tears
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day
Think of the times that we had rows, but we patched
them up somehow
Think of the times I tried to go, but you screamed
and told me now
There is only one thing in this world that I can't
understand
that's a girl
I keep a-readin' the things you said like a bad
dream in my head
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day
Oh, what a sad, sad, old day - a sad, ol day
It was a sad, old day
A sad, old day, it was a bad, old day
sad old day a bad old day
If there is one awful thing in this world that I
can't understand
that's a girl
It was a sad, sad, old day, sad old day
It was a sad, old day
PAINT IT BLACK
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer
clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the
facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is
black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer
clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted
black
Yeah!
STUPID GIRL
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I'm not talking about the kind of clothes she wears
Look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she combs her hair
Look at that stupid girl
The way she powders her nose
Her vanity shows and it shows
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she digs for gold
Look at that stupid girl
Well, I'm talking about the way she grabs and holds
Look at that stupid girl
The way she talks about someone else
That she don't even know herself
She's the sickest thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl
Well, I'm sick and tired
And I really have my doubts
I've tried and tried
But it never really works out
Like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
Look at that stupid girl
It doesn't matter if she dyes her hair
Or the color of the shoes she wears
She's the worst thing in this world
Well, look at that stupid girl
Shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
Shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
Shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
Like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
Look at that stupid girl
She bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
Look at that stupid girl
She purrs like a pussycat
Then she turns 'round and hisses back
She's the sickest thing in this world
Look at that stupid girl
LONG LONG WHILE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Baby, baby, been a long, long time; been a long,

MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little
helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her
busy day
"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen
steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little
helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her
busy day
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize
your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little
helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize
your plight
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little
helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy
dying day

HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR MOTHER BABY,
STANDING IN THE SHADOW
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the
shadow?
Have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow?
I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in
ice
Have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the
shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
I was just passing the time
I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy
to mine?
Tell me a story about how you adore me
Live in the shadow, see through the shadow,
Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow
Hate in the shadow, and love in your shadowy life
Have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow?
Has he had another baby, standing in the shadow?
Baby, where have you been all your life?
Talking about all the people who should try anything
twice
Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the
shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the slide to the depths of
decline
WHO'S DRIVING YOUR PLANE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
it was your father who trained you and your mother
who brained you
to be so useless and shy
but i just replaced them and tried not to break
them
because you could stand up if you tried
and i wanna see your face when your knees and your
legs
are just gonna break down and die
and who's driving your plane
who's driving your plane
who's driving your plane
who's driving your plane
are you in control or is it driving you insane
if i could wave a magic wand then maybe you'd change
back to being a blonde
and your skirt would come down, it would cover your
feet
if i said "it's not camp to wear tiffany lamps"
you'd be thrown right out in the street
and i wonder who's driving your plane
who's driving your plane
who's driving your plane
who's driving your plane
are you in control or is it driving you insane
you could stand on your head or maybe sing in your
bed
if i said it was the thing to do
if you're in with the faces and their getaway places
cause they don't take no notice of you
well the trendy pace-setters will just called you
pain
cause i want to know
who's driving your plane

RUBY TUESDAY
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter when it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you smile with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you smile with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...
WE LOVE YOU
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
We don't care if you only love "we"
We don't care if you only love "we"
We love you, we love you, and we hope
that you will love "we" too
We love "they," we love "they," and
we want you to love "they" too
Ah
We don't care if you hound "we" and
love is all around "we"
Love can't get our minds off,
we love you, we love you
You will never win "we,"
Your uniforms don't fit "we"
We forget the place we're in
'Cause we love you
We love you, of course, we do
I love you, I love you
And I hope that you won't prove wrong too
We love you, we do, we love you, we do, Ah

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Prince or pauper, beggar man or thing

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

SHE'S A RAINBOW
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air

She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years
from home
Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years
from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years
from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years
from home
Bell flight fourteen you now can land
Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert
sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years
from home
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years
from home
IN ANOTHER LAND
(Wyman)
In another land where the breeze and the
trees and flowers were blue
I stood and held your hand.
And the grass grew high and the feathers floated
by
I stood and held your hand.
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else will do
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
Much to my surprise
I opened my eyes.
We walked across the sand and the sea and
the sky and the castles were blue.
I stood and held your hand.
And the spray flew high and the feathers floated
by
I stood and held your hand.
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else will do
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
Much to my surprise
When I opened my eyes.
We heard the trumpets blow and the sky
turned red when I accidently said
That I didn't know how I came to be here
not fast asleep in bed.
I stood and held your hand.
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else's hand
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
I opened my eyes.
Much to my surprise.
THE LANTERN
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
We, on our present life,
Knew that the stars were right.
That if you are the first to go,
You'll leave a sign to let me know,
Tell me so.
Please, carry the Lantern lights.
You crossed the sea of night,
Free from the spell of fright
Your cloak it is a spirit shroud.
You'll wake me in my sleeping hours,
Like a cloud.
So, please, carry the Lantern high.
Me, in my sorry plight,
You waiting ev'ry night.
My face it turns a deathly pale,
You're talking to me, through your veil,
I hear you wail.
So, please carry the Lantern light.
The servants sleep,
The door's are barred.
You hear the stopping of my heart-we never part.
So, please carry the Lantern high.
JUMPING JACK FLASH
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I hoowled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schlooed with a strap right across my back
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was drowned Iwas washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas! Gas! Gas!
CHILD OF THE MOON
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
The wind blows rain into my face
The sun glows at the end of the highway
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile
She shivers, by the light she is hidden
She flickers like a lamp lady vision
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile
The first car on the foggy road riding
The last star for my lady is pining
Oh, child of the moon, bid the sun arise
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a misty day, pearly gray, silver, silky
faced,
wide-awake crescent-shaped smile
STREET FIGHTING MAN
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Ev'rywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging
feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting
in the street boy
But what can a poor boy do except to sing for a
Rock'N'Roll Band 'cause in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man! No!
Hey! Think the time is right for a Palace Revolution.
But where I live the game to play is Comparison
Solution!
Well then what can a poor boy do except to sing
for a
Rock'N'Roll Band 'cause in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man! No!
Hey! Said my name is called Disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the King I'll rail
at all his servants.
Well then what can a poor boy do except to sing
for a
Rock'N'Roll Band 'cause in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man! No!
NO EXPECTATIONS
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Take me to the station and put me on a train,
I've got no expectations to pass through here again.
Once I was a rich man and now I am so poor,
But never on my sweet, short life have I felt like
this before,
Your heart is like a diamond, you throw your pearls
at swine
And as I watch you leaving me, you pack my peace
of mind.
Our love was like the water that splashes on a stone,
Our love was like our music, it's here and then
it's gone.
So take me to the airport and put me on a plane
I've got no expectations to pass through here again.
(Hum
SURPRISE, SURPRISE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Well, I told friends of mine you been tellin' lies
How I was wrapped up in you
But surprise, surprise
Surprise, surprise
I never wanted you that bad
'Cause I knew you was tellin' lies
Knew you was tellin' lies
I could see it in your eyes
Why did you hafta go and fool after
We had got along so fine
But surprise, surprise
Surprise, surprise
Fate is never strange to me
I knew you was tellin' lies
Knew you was tellin' lies
I could see it in your eyes
I knew you was tellin' lies
Knew you was tellin' lies
I could see it in your eyes
I hope you're proud of all your chasin' 'round
Thinkin I was alone all night
But surprise, surprise
Surprise, surprise
You're only foolin' yourself
'Cause I knew you was tellin' lies
Knew you was tellin' lies
I could see it in your eyes
Why did you hafta go and fool around
After we got along so fine
I knew you was tellin' lies
We got along so finen' lies
But I knew you was tellin' lies
Knew you was tellin' lies
I could see it in your eyes
HONKY TONK WOMEN
(M. Jagger/Richard)
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder,
Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.
It's the honky tonk women,
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.
I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady, then she covered me in roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
It's the honky tonk women,
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
(choir)
I saw her today at the reception,
A glass of wine in her hand.
I knew she would meet her connection,
At her feet was a footloose man.
Now you can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes you'll find
You'll get what you need.
I saw her today at the reception,
A glass of wine in her hand.
I knew she was gonna meet her connection,
At her feet was a footloose man.
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes you might find
You'll get what you need.
I went down to the demonstration,
To get my fair share of abuse.
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations,
And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse."
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes you might find
You'll get what you need.
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
to get your prescription filled.
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy,
And man, did he look pretty ill.
We decided that we would have a soda,
My favorite flavor, cherry red.
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy,
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead,"
I said to him,
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes you might find
You'll get what you need.
You'll get what you need--yeah, oh baby.
I saw her today at the reception,
In her glass was a bleeding man.
She was practiced at the art of deception,
Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands.
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes you might find
You'll get what you need.
MEMO FROM TURNER
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Didn't I see you down in San Antone on a hot and
dusty night?
We were eating eggs in Sammy's when the black man
there drew his knife.
Aw, you drowned that Jew in Rampton as he washed
his sleeveless shirt,
You know, that Spanish-speaking gentlemen, the one
we all called "Kurt."
Come now, gentleman, I know there's some mistake.
How forgetful I'm becoming, now you fixed your bus'ness
straight.
I remember you in Hemlock Road in nineteen fifty-six.
You're a faggy little leather boy with a smaller
piece of stick.
You're a lashing, smashing hunk of man;
Your sweat shines sweet and strong.
Your organs working perfectly, but there's a part
that's not screwed on.
Weren't you at the Coke convention back on nineteen
sixty-five
You're the misbred, grey executive I've seen heavily
advertised.
You're the great, gray man whose daughter licks
policemen's buttons clean.
You're the man who squats behind the man who works
the soft machine.
Come now, gentleman, your love is all I crave.
You'll still be in the circus when I'm laughing,
laughing on my grave.
When the old men do the fighting and the young men
all look on.
And the young girls eat their mothers meat from
tubes of plasticon.
Be wary of these my gentle friends of all the skins
you breed.
They have a tasty habit - they eat the hands that
bleed.
So remember who you say you are and keep your noses
clean.
Boys will be boys and play with toys so be strong
with your beast.
Oh Rosie dear, doncha think it's queer, so stop
me if you please.
The baby is dead, my lady said, "You gentlemen,
why you all work for me?"

WILD HORSES
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Childhood living
Is easy to do
The things you wanted,
I brought them for you
Graceless lady,
You know who I am,
You know I can't let you,
Slide through my hands
Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...
I watched you suffer
A dull, aching pain
Now you decided
To show me the same
No sweeping exits
Or off-stage lines,
Can make me feel bitter,
Or treat you unkind
Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...
I know I dreamed you
A sin and a lie,
I have my freedom,
But I don't have much time
Faith has been broken,
Tears must be cried,
Let's do some living,
After we die...
Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
We'll ride them someday

OUT OF TIME
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line,

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Yow! Yow! Yow!
Umph, ca, umph, umph
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and fate
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
In a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched the gleam [Who, Who]
While you kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid tracks for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Ma, oo
Oooa
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners Saints
As I end this tale
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well learned qualities
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um baby, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, your to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's me name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
