Visions Of Paradise lyrics - Mick Jagger
Don't tell me when
Something is beautiful
And don't tell me how to
Talk to my friends
Just tell me the names of
The stars in the sky
What's your favourite song
Tell me the names of the
Lovers you had
Before I came along
Don't put your arms around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise
And don't ask me where
All of the pain goes
'Cause you make me feel
That I don't know myself
You say that you want me forever
And I say that love is no crime
So tell me the names of the children
We'll have at the end of the line
So don't put your arms around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise
And don't let me near the garden
Of earthly delights
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise
Of paradise
Of paradise
Just use your heart not your head
While I fall apart in my bed
I find myself aching for you
I feel myself breaking in two
So don't tell me when I should
Come on home
There might be a time you don't
Want me around
Don't build your world around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise
Joy lyrics - Mick Jagger
Oh joy love you bring
Oh joy make my heart sing
And I drove across the desert
I was in my four wheel drive
I was looking for the Buddha
And I saw Jesus Christ
He smiled and shrugged his shoulder
And lit a cigarette
Said jump for joy
Make some noise
Remember what I said
My soul is a like a ruby
And I threw it in the earth
But now my hands are bleeding
From scrabbling in the dirt
And I look up to the heavens
And a light is on my face
I never never never
Thought I'd find a state of grace
Hey joy
Love you bring
Oh joy
Make my heart sing
Oh joy
Joy in everything
Joy joy joy oh joy
Joy joy joy oh joy
I was drowning in the darkness
As I drove down to the sea
Joy joy joy oh joy
And I looked up to the mountain
And the light burst over me
Joy joy joy oh oh joy
You make me sing
Joy [cont]
Oh joy
The love you bring
You make me sing
Oh joy
In everything
In everything
Everything
Jump for joy
Jump for joy
Jump for joy
Dancing In The Starlight lyrics - Mick Jagger
I was tossing and a turning
Like as ship out in the storm
And I could not feel the spirit
There was nothing there at all
And I could not dial the number
And I could not make the call
Dancing in the starlight
Dancing in the strangest forms
And I could not feel the spirit
Was a thousand miles off course
Stumbling in the twilight
There was no one there at all
I was groping in the darkness
Seeing dangers in the port
Tortured into silence
My back against the wall
Dancing in the starlight
Swirling in the walls
Just like Venus on the ocean
The figures on the wall
If you don't take risks
If you don't take a chance
You're bound to fall
Oh yeah sugar
You will surely fall
Crying for salvation
There was nothing there at all
I could not dial the number
And I could not make the call
Dancing in the starlight
The figures on the wall
You will surely fall
Dancing in the starlight
You will surely fall
You will surely fall
God Gave My Everything lyrics - Mick Jagger
You can see it in a clear blue sky
You can see it in a woman's eyes
You can hear it in your baby's cries
You can hear it in your lover's sighs
You can touch it in a grain of sand
Yeah hold it right there
In the palm of your hand
Feel it 'round you everyday
And hear what I've got to say
God gave me everything I want
Come on
I'll give it all to you
God gave me everything I want
Come on
I'll give it all to you
I saw it in the midnight sun
And I feel it in the race I won
And I hear it in the windy storm
And I feel it in the icy dawn
And I smell it the wine I taste
And I see it in my father's face
And I hear it in a symphony
And I feel it in the love
You show for me
Yeah
God gave me everything I want
Oh come on
I'll give it all to you
God gave me everything I want
Come on
I'll give it all to you
God gave me everything I want
I can't stop can't stop
I'm still looking now
God gave me everything I want
Oh come on
I'll give it all to you
Crazy you said
It's all in your head
[Chorus]
Hide Away lyrics - Mick Jagger
Hide away hide away
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
I'm gonna pack up all my bags
Vanish while I can
Gonna leave this town behind
Pay it all no mind
I'm gonna fly away
And no one's gonna find me
Keep my destination quiet
Take an early morning flight
Never tell a soul
Just light out on my own
I'm gonna fly away
And no one's gonna find me
I'm gonna wear some fake disguise
Change the colour of my eyes
Yes I'm going hide away
And you're gonna be surprised
I'll be wise before my time
I'm going hide away
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
I'm gonna rent a small hotel
Throw away my cell
Cut off all my hair
Sweep away my cares
I'm gonna fly away
And no one's ever gonna find me
I'm out of everybody's reach
Out on some twisted beach
I'm gonna hide away
Dissolve right out this scene
Out of everybody's dreams
I'm gonna hide away
Hide away [cont]
Hide away
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
Don't Call Me Up lyrics - Mick Jagger
I was trying to forget you
But you won't tell me how
Lately I'm finding it tricky
With your picture plastered all over town
Friends pick you up in conversation
Just to see how I'll react
I get this internal lacerations
That jack me up and lay me out flat
But I can't throw my life away
I can't give the game away
You just wandered off the stage
And left me dealing with the pain
So don't call me up
Oh when you wanna cry
Cos I might let you down
Don't call me up
On some rainy night
Cos I might let you down
Let you down
People ask have you seen her
I say not for a while
I'm gonna see my girlfriend
Way down in Argentina
We're gonna have a blast for a while
But I see you in my inner eye
Touch me with a gentle smile
Wonder if you catch my mood
Can you feel my solitude
So don't call me up
Oh when you wanna cry
Cos I might let you down
Don't call me up
When some other guy
Hangs your heartstrings out to dry
As the waves crash around
And the stars hit the ground
I'll be out of my mind once again
As the rain lashes down
And the stars can't be found
I will hold my head high
Don't call me up [cont]
And just gaze at the sky
I was under your spell
And you took me to hell
Don't call me up
If you wanna cry
I might let you down
Don't call me up
If you want some lie
I might let you down
Might let you down
Might let you down
Might let you down
I was trying to forget you
Yeah
But you won't tell me how
Now you're out all over town
You're plastered all over town
Plastered all over town
Goddess In The Doorway lyrics - Mick Jagger
Demons in the bedroom
Dogs are on the roof
I am in the basement
Looking for the truth
Tired of being patient
For the voice to come
If you want the answer
There is only one - only one
Her flesh is smooth and supple
And velvet as the night
Her eyes are shot with diamonds
A mouth full of delight
There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway
Demons in the bedroom
Dogs are on the loose
Driving in the backstreets
Looking for the truth
I'm searching for your temple
Hunting for your shrine
I'm looking for a vision
By a neon sign
There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway
And her tears flow like a fountain
Like a river from the mountain
How much
How much can I take
How much, how much can I take
Goodess in the doorway [cont]
There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway
Lucky Day lyrics - Mick Jagger
I know you're livin, in a fantasy
I know that love has got the best of me cash your chips
I know you're on the slide
Trust in me for I will be your guide
It's your lucky day baby
It's your lucky day now
It's the only way
To leave this town behind
It's the only way
To leave this town alive
It's your lucky day baby
It's your lucky day now
Careful now of the dogs that park
But watch out now the pool is filled with sparks
You're in the pit
The snakes begin to writhe
But help is here
I throw you down a line
It's your lucky day baby
It's your lucky day now
It's the chance
To leave this town behind
It's the only way
To leave this town alive
I know you're living in a fantasy
Yes I know that love has got the best of me
It's your lucky day baby
It's your lucky day now
It's the only way
To leave this town behind
It's up to you
You are the one to decide
It's the only way
To leave this town alive
Everybody Getting High lyrics - Mick Jagger
Everybody getting high
High high high high high high
Everybody getting high
High high high high high high
Here comes the writer
He's got the script right in his hand
Talkin to the actress
While she's checking out the band
Her name is pretty
But not the boils on her face
I feel like running
But there's no hiding place
Everybody getting high
High high high high high high
Everybody getting high
High high high high high high
My dress designers
They want to doll me up in blue
Pretty next fall's collection
They want to show it in the zoo
Everybody getting high
High high high high high high
Everybody getting
Fly fly fly fly fly fly fly
What are you doing here
To all these dogs you're just a bone
Before you throw up honey
Just grab your coat
And kiss your goodbyes
I'm gonna take you take you home
I'm checking out the kung fu actor
Boy is he way up his ass
He won't even talk to me
But he wants to show me
How to dance
Everybody getting high
High high high high high high
And I sit and wonder why
Why why why why why why
Cos everybody wants to
Fly fly fly fly fly fly fly
Gun lyrics - Mick Jagger
Your friends will say
It's self defense
With no hope of recompense
And anyway it makes no sense
The way you hurt me baby
You always turn the other cheek
Always acted mild and meek
Ya always played me for a geek
The way you dressed to kill
Why don't just get a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just get a gun
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
You tried to stretch me on the rack
I saw you laughing when I cracked
You broke my will you broke my back
On the wheel of uncertainty
You tried to push me to the edge
You wouldn't listen when I begged
Why don't you push me off the ledge
It's just torture baby
Why don't just get a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just get a gun
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Why don't you just buy a gun
Why don't you just buy a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just buy a gun
Your friends will say it's self defense
They say it's cheap and no expense
Why don't you just get a gun and use it
Why don't you just get a gun
Gun [cont]
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Too Far Gone lyrics - Mick Jagger
Let it down let it down
Let it down now
Let it down let it down
Let it down now
Let it down let it down
Let it down now
I always hate nostalgia
Living in the past
No use getting misty eyed
It all screamed by so fast
When life was so much calmer
Severely buttoned up
The future rich in promises
Milk flowing from the cup
I would spend those lazy days
Lying on a ridge
Watching girls in cotton dresses
Diving off the bridge
Is it too far gone
Is it too far gone
Is it too too far gone
Too far gone
This was once the country
Now it's all the town
What was once the tallest spire
Is just building crumbled down
And I'm lving in a factory
That's a million dollar flat
I'm not looking for arcadia
Cause it's never coming back
I would spend my childhood days
Lost in starry dreams
And now watch my children
Just downloading them to screens
Let it down let it down let it down
Let it down let it down let it down
Cause it's too far gone
Too far gone [cont]
Yeah it's too far gone
Yeah it's too too
Too far too far gone
Let it down let it down let it down
I'm lying in a garden
Carpets in the shade
Thinking of the future
And all the love we saved
The world outside is ugly
It's bitter and it's harsh
We each of us protect ourselves
We're hostage to the past
And it's too far gone
It's too far gone
I wonder where did we go wrong
And it's too too far
And it's too too far
Too far gone
Brand New Set Of Rules lyrics - Mick Jagger
I will be kind won't be so cruel
I will be sweet I will be true
The pains of love you'll quickly learn
Are soon to heat and quick to burn
I got a brand new set of rules
Because I am your brand new fool
I got a brand new set of rules
I got to learn
You'll be so proud so proud of me
You'll see the change so plain to see
Because of you a brand new start
Because of you a change of heart
I got a brand new set of rules
It's just like I was back in school
I got a brand new set of rules
I got to learn
I'm going to change just mark my words
You can't believe all that you heard
All of those lies all of those rumours
That your friends told you
And if I'm left upon the shelf
Cause you belong to someone else
I've got my brand new set of rules
Because I am nobody's fool
I've got a brand new set of rules
I've got to learn
I've got to learn
I've got to learn
Wired All Night lyrics - Mick Jagger
You go squeeze in your dress, and go strap on your boots
I'm gonna sharpen my nails and primp up real cute
I'm gonna smoke up a storm and step into the night
I'm getting ready to burn, I'm getting ready to fly
I said a, hey, are you shooting to kill
Hey, would I tell you a lie
We'll be slamming tequilas, popping hydrogen
And lose the coils and the kinks that are wrecking my life
Give me a drink, don't be talking so much, you're a pain in the butt
How can I think when you puke up your guts, I'll be juiced on this stuff
We'll be wired all night
We hit the high life
We'll be wired all night
We hit the high life
Watch me now
You blew a jelly-face Joe, Pedro the pimp
I'm as hard as a brick, hope I never go limp
Is the earthquake shaking, is there gonna be war
Tell the National Guard to mind the grocery store
I said, hey, and I don't give a hoot
Hey, I need some earthly delights
I'll be drowning my sorrows, banging my box
'Til the sirens start singing and I'm ready to fly
Give me a drink, don't be talking so much, you're a pain in the butt
How can I think when you puke up your guts, I'll be juiced on this stuff
We'll be wired all night
We hit the high life
We'll be wired all night
We hit the high life
Give me a drink, don't be talking so much, you're a pain
in the butt
How can I think when you puke up your guts, I'll be juiced
on this stuff
I'll be kicked in the nuts
We'll be wired all night
We hit the high life
We'll be wired all night
We hit the high life
Sweet Thing lyrics - Mick Jagger
In the beginning, when life was simple
We were at each other night and day
You were so sensual and so inventive
We said we'd stick together come what may
In the beginning, you were so brutal
You turned the heat on in the afternoon
Get so excited, get so addicted
You had me eating from your golden spoon
Now I don't wanna spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down I got movies of you
Running through my fevered brain
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
I really love my sweet thing, I can't give her up
In the beginning, when we were winning
I was your ever-present love-sick fool
You turned the heat off and left me standing
Freezing by your swimming pool
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
I can't give it up
Now I don't wanna spoil the party
I know it goes against the grain
As the plane touched down, and the midnight moon
Can't just walk away
Really love my sweet thing, wanna' lick it up
Really love my sweet thing, wanna' lick it up
Really love my sweet thing, can't give it up
Really love my sweet thing, can't give it up
Out Of Focus lyrics - Mick Jagger
I saw a glittering moon
I saw a beautiful morning
Shining on the hill
And I grabbed the cat by the tail
The future with my finger nails
But now I live in fear
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unreal
I saw towering spires, I heard beautiful chimes, I heard them peal
I saw visions of grace, I saw heavenly place, then it disappeared
Maybe I lied a little bit too much
Maybe I cried a little bit too much
I saw the future just shatter in glass
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
And nothing is revealed
I was walking on clouds, yeah and talking so proud,
but I did not hear
Voices singing so loud, said you're tumbling down,
to the streets of tears
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unreal
Sometime I lied a little bit too hard
Sometime I cried a little bit too hard
I saw the future just vanish like glass
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
And nothing is revealed
Don't Tear Me Up lyrics - Mick Jagger
Life is rich, but it's way too short
You make a lot of money, but you just want more
I don't need the pain right here in my heart
But I hate every minute when we're so far apart
It was love in a minute, it was love in a flash
It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the back
It brings me no comfort, it brings me no peace
A weight on my shoulder, it's a fatal disease
So don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
And don't poison my blood
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more
Gonna finish it quick, gonna finish it clean
Don't wanna be bitter. I don't wanna be mean
I feel like we're driving down a dead-end street
I've come so far I wanna crash the car
I wanna land right on my feet
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more
But I dream of you constantly, you'll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness
You'll be my lover each night
Life is a bitch, it's way too short
Unlike a politician it just can't be bought
Think about the tenderness, and think about the craziness
And if you ever wanna hate me come and
Stick a knife right in my chest
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever wanna see your face here no more
I said don't tear me up
I said don't tear me up
I said don't poison my blood
I don't ever wanna see your picture again
Put Me In The Trash lyrics - Mick Jagger
Yeah you put me in the trash
yeah you gave me up for lost
Now I see that you're doing alright
Take a look at me and count the cost
Baby can't you see I'm short on greens
I am your long lost man, you don't recognize me
I used to load you up with cash
I used to dress you like a dream
All the fancy food, you always wolfed it down
Yeah but you never made a scene
Baby can't you see, I'm no fantasy
I am your long lost man, you don't recognize me
Standing around in the rain, with my hands froze
Looking around for small change in your window
Out in the cold once again, write out a cheque for old flames
Pity for old time sake, I'll make your heart glow
Yeah, I'm your long lost man, don't you recognize me
Gimme some money baby, I'm broke
Why don't you, why don't you dig right down in your purse
And gimme some dough
Yeah don't you remember me baby
Don't you remember all those Jean Paul Gaultier dresses
I bought you and all those tickets to the opera
What about that bright red ferrari I bought you now
And all those, and all those shoes
Yeah I know it's the recession baby, but give me some money
Yeah come on now be generous
Oh yeah alright
Use Me lyrics - Mick Jagger
My friends feel their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
Uh huh but my answer about all that use me stuff
I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
You can keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought to not let you just walk on me
Well I'm sure that he meant well, yeah but when
Our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish you were in my shoes
You could keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Sometimes it's true you really do abuse me
Oh you get me in a crowd of high class people
And you act real nasty to me
I said, oh baby, baby, baby, when you love me
I can't get enough
I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
You can keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Evening Gown lyrics - Mick Jagger
People say that I'm high class
But I'm low down all the while
People think That I'm crazy
When I flash that California smile
But I can still paint the town
All the colour of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey
People say I'm a drinker
But I'm sober half the time
People say I'm a loser
But I get lucky on the side
Yeah but I can still paint the town
All the colour of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey
All my life I waited for
Someone who would show where the bliss is
All my life I waited for
Someone who would take me past the kissing
People say I'm a loner
I like to get lost in the crowds
People call me a dresser
I wear my sports clothes way too loud
Yeah but I can still paint the town
I can shake it and turn it upside down
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey
Mother Of A Man lyrics - Mick Jagger
See looka here, wanna see my gun
It's an Uzi and it packs a lot of punch
It sure is loud, I got it fixed
You wanna feel, you wanna touch this little bitch
I wanna testify, it's a crazy world out there
I wanna tell ya now, it's a brutal world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I've got the stopper in my hand
Judge and jury help me please
Ain't gonna get down on my knees
Oh no, god help me now
You know my wife, she don't feel safe
Since we had a lot of trouble near our place
These kids are poor, I know it's hard
But why'd they have to do it in their own backyard
I wanna testify, it's a crazy world out there
I don't know what to tell you, it's a barbaric world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I wanna take the witness stand
Judge and jury help me please
The sirens sound, the streets all bleed
I'm just a mother of a man
Just a mother of a man
Oh yeah, God help me now
I wanna testify, it's a crazy, crazy, crazy world out there
I wanna tell ya now that it's a barbaric world out there
I'm just a mother of a man
I wanna take the witness stand
Judge and jury help me please
The sirens sigh, the streets all bleed
I'm just a mother of a man
Here I stand, here I stand
I'm just a mother of a man
Yeah, God help me now
Think lyrics - Mick Jagger
Think about the sacrifices that I made for you
Think about the hard times that you put me through
Think about the good things that I done for you
Think about the bad things that I tried not to do
Come on baby
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right things
Think about the wrong things
And baby before you leave me you'll realise
That I'm the one who loves you
How much of the happiness can you really claim
How many tears have I shed, am I not to blame
Though I can't remember what went wrong
I tried so hard to please you, least that's what I thought
Come on baby
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right things
Think about the wrong things
And baby before you leave me you'll realise
That I'm the one who loves you
Come on baby
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right things
Think about the wrong things
And baby before you leave me you'll realise
That I'm the one who loves you
Think about the sacrifices that I made for you
Think about the hard times that you put me through
Think about the good things that i done for you
Think about the bad things that I tried not to do
Come on baby
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right things
Think about the wrong things
Come on baby
Think about the good things
And baby before you leave me you'll realise
That I'm the one who loves you
And baby before you leave me you'll realise
That I'm the one who loves you
And baby before you leave me you'll realise
That I'm the one who loves you
Wandering Spirit lyrics - Mick Jagger
When all the twelve Apostles try to ring me on the phone
Take a message but I won't return their call
For I have no eyes to see him and I thought I lost my way
And I know I've lost the keys to your door
And I climbed the highest mountain and I looked down on the sea
And I saw a ship a-sail to the shore
I took a passage to the East and I journeyed to the West
I made love from Battambang to Baltimore
I said, oh, am I running in a race
I said, oh, am I getting anyplace
I said, oh, can I make it
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit, yes I am a restless soul
I'm a wandering spirit, there's no place that I can call my own
I was a glutton at the banquet and I spilt the finest wine
Trod the pyramids and ruins of Angkor
I kissed the Mona Lisa and I breakfasted with kings
And I touched the nerves of nature in the raw
I said, oh, am I running in a race
I said, oh, take that smile right off your face
I said, oh, I can't make it
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit, no escape, no parole
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit, there's no place that
I can call my home
I said, oh, am I running in a race
I said, oh, take that smile right off your face
I said, oh, I can't make it
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit, looking for a place to go
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit
I'm a wandering spirit, no escape, no parole
I'm a wandering spirit, I'm a lost and lonely soul
Hang On To Me Tonight lyrics - Mick Jagger
Like a picture you came into my life
Like a picture the colours fade away
Love is fragile, you hide it from the light
It lasts forever and always stays the same
Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Ah, honey, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, honey, are you tiring of the race
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay
Like a movie, you swept into my life
And like a movie, the stars just fade away
All the characters are mouthing out their lines
And the love scenes are shot in shades of grey
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Ah, baby, while there's youth upon your face
Ah, baby, don't you lose that natural grace
My cards are on the table
You can get up and walk away
Or stay
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
Hang on to me tonight
Stay close to me all day
I've Been Lonely For So Long lyrics - Mick Jagger
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
These ain't rain clouds over my head
Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed
Just can't seem to get ahead in life
Nothing I do seems to turn out right
Somebody help me now
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I lay awake most every night
Trying to figure out how to make things right
There's got to be a better way I know
To shake this monkey off cos it's making me so
Won't somebody help me please
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Angel In My Heart lyrics - Mick Jagger
Play upon your heart strings to me
I will sing a strange melody
Dance with me a magic ballet
Stay with me 'til night turns to day
Let me in your dreams
Angel in my heart
Angel in my heart
By a pool of darkening dreams
Love is slowly twisting downstream
Underneath the tortuos trees
Out into the sad, silent seas
Lock me in your arms
Angel in my heart
Angel in my heart
How can I feel, how can I feel love when you're gone
How much sin, how much can true forgiving cost
I'm in your skin, I want to win back what I've lost
How can I feel, how can I feel love when you're gone
I'm in your skin, I want to win back what I've lost
I can feel the salt on my skin
I can hear the birds on the wing
I can smell the wood on the fire
I can see the smoke of desire
Let me in your dreams
Angel in my heart
Angel in my heart
Handsome Molly lyrics - Mick Jagger
I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'll set myself on a steamship
And I'll sail the ocean round
While sailing around the ocean
While sailing around the sea
I dream of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
Her hair's as black as raven
Her eyes as black as coal
Her teeth are like lilies
That in the morning glow
Oh, don't you remember, Molly
You gave me your right hand
You said that if you married
Well I would be your man
And now you've gone and left me
Go on with who you please
My poor heart is aching here
Lying at your ease
And I go down to the river
When everyone's asleep
I dream of handsome Molly
And sit right down and weep
I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'll set myself on a steamship
And I'll sail the ocean round
While sailing around the ocean
While sailing around the sea
I'd dream of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
Throwaway lyrics - Mick Jagger
Used to play the Casanova
Smoother than the Bossa Nova
Love to play the Romeo
But I never need a home to go to
I'm so greasy, I'm so slick.
I leave no traces
I just get out quick
I use cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
I've played the fool
I've played the clown
I'm an easy lover
When I come to town
It's a fashion
It's a buyers market
It's a buyer's market
To bust it up
Before it's really started
I'm incurably romantic
If you leave me I'll go frantic
With cheap champagne
Brief affairs and backstage love
But a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
If the glove still fits
Don't call it quits
Don't throw your life away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Used to play the Casanova
Faster than a roller coaster
I gave you the best years of my life
Don't you kick me in the gutter
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Yes there's many a slip
Between a cup and lip
Don't let it slide away
Cause a love like this
Is much too good
To ever throwaway
Let's Work lyrics - Mick Jagger
No sitting down on your butt
The world don't owe you
No sitting down in a rut
I wanna show you
Don't waste your energy
On making enemies

Get up, be free
Get down in the dirt, let's work
Get down in the dirt, let's work
Get down in the dirt
Take off your shirt
Get down in the dirt
Let's work
Radio Control lyrics - Mick Jagger
I'm a player in a game show
And it's poisoning my mind
I'm a string on someone's yo-yo
I feel my life is trivialised
I eat scandal for my breakfast
I spit gossip late at night
I'm not one for fancy speeches
But they're sucking me like leeches
Feel my body's under radio control
Listen
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Every woman that I'm loving
She's got to have that sense of style
All the men love that aggression
They want to walk that extra mile
I'm getting sick of competition
You better take me off this mission
Feel my body's under radio control
Listen
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I always stay fresh
Don't run out of juice
I don't let the power run dry
Don't make a fool of myself
Let my tounge hang too loose
I stay out of range to survive
Every woman she got to walk that extra mile
I'm not one for fancy speeches
But they're sucking me like leeches
Feel my body's under radio control
Listen Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Walk forwards
Walk backwards
Radio control
Work hard
Take a vacation
Radio control
Radio control
Radio control
Say You Will lyrics - Mick Jagger
Cast all your fears aside
And say you will, say you will be mine
And stay with me until the end of time
And help me, help me grind this mill of life
Please, say you will, say you will be mine
And times and customs may change
And life may get dizzy
My heart is deep in the country
But I live for the city
Chasing those greenfields
That lie just over the hill
Isn't it time that I rested
Time to stand still
I need a lover surely as I need a friend
Someone whose laughter I'll lean on
To tie our lives together
Cast all your fears aside
And say you will, say you will be mine
And love me, until the end of time
And help me, help me grind this mill of life
And say you will, say you will
We're on a ship out to sea
And it's stormy weather
Why don't you promise to me
Devotion forever
The hillsides are yellow and green
And the olives still bloom
We will make passionate love
By electrical moons
I need a lover surely as I need a friend
Someone whose laughter I'll lean on
To tie our lives together
Cast all your fears aside
And say you will, say you will be mine
And stay with me until the end of time
And help me, help me grind this mill of life
And say you will, say you will
Cast all your fears aside
Say you will
Cast all your fears aside
Say you will
You make my heart come alive
Say you will
Help me, help me, help me
Help me grind this mill
Grind this mill of life
Say you will
Say you will be mine
Say you will
Say you will be mine
Primitive Cool lyrics - Mick Jagger
A place far in the future
And faces from the past
And children reading history books
Their faces light and laugh
It all seems so primitive
How did you survive?
It all seemed so different then
How did you stay alive?
Did you walk cool in the fifties daddy?
Was it black and white?
Did you play jazz all night?
Was it really so wonderful?
Did you walk cool in the fifties daddy?
Did you dress like James Dean?
Did you wear dungarees?
Did you dance to the Rhumba?
Was it all just crazy fashion?
I said oh yeah
Did you live life with a passion?
I said oh yeah
Does it all have some strange meaning?
Can it change my life today?
Or is it all so much flotsam and jetsam?
Tell me right away
Did you walk cool in the sixties daddy?
Did you fight in the war?
Or did you chase all the whores
On the rock and roll rumble?
Did you walk cool in the sixties daddy?
Did you fight in the war?
Did you break all the laws
That were ready to crumble?
Was it just a crazy fashion?
I said oh yeah
Did you live life with a passion?
I said oh yeah
Does it have some inner meaning?
Can it change my life today?
Or is it all so much flotsam and jetsam?
Tell me right away
Well I think you've got it figured
Go check it out yourself
Cause I've had it playing teacher for today
Did you walk cool primitive cool?
Did you know Dr. King?
Was he ever so humble?
Did you walk cool primitive cool?
Did you break all the laws
That were ready to crumble?
A place far in the future
And faces from the past
And children reading history books
Their faces light and laugh
It all seems so primitive
How did you survive?
It all seemed so different then
How did you stay alive?
Kow Tow lyrics - Mick Jagger
And I just don't do things by halves
So come now please don't make me laugh
The wicked lay stones in my path
And friends who are snakes in the grass
I felt the warmth of you in summer days gone by
The waves they rock the boat
You smiled at me and closed your eyes
I won't bow down, I won't kow tow
Won't be seen to, won't be lied to
I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed by you
And I can see through you like glass
So come now please don't make me laugh
I hear the country church bells ring for you
I see the church choir rise and sing for you
But I'll be leaving soon, I'm off at high noon
I've got a heavy heart, we touch a long past
I won't bow down, I won't kow tow
Won't be seen to, won't be lied to
I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed
But if you think of me
Think something sweet of me
I look around in rage
There's nothing left
There's nothing saved
Some memories, a photograph
The future looms, so damn the past
I don't want you, I don't need you
I won't bow down, I won't kow tow
I won't turn tail, I won't be blackmailed
Won't be seen to, won't be lied to
Ohh, ooh, ooh
Shoot Off Your Mouth lyrics - Mick Jagger
You say you love me
Why do you always do me down down down?
I hit rock bottom
You gave me up without sound, sound, sound
But now I'm back in town and feeling mighty fit
I'm sick and tired of eating all your chicken shit
So keep on looking for me
Once I was lost but now I'm found, found, found
I was a rising star
You hitched your wagon next to mine, mine, mine
The sun was shining bright
I guess I never read the sign, sign, sign
Right at the moment that you saw my hand first slip
Just like a dirty rat you jumped the sinking ship
So keep on looking for me
Once I was lost but now I'm found, found, found
Find me in the palace
Find me on the street
Find me back in church
Right in my favourite seat
Now you're a notch on my gun
Who are you to shoot off your mouth?
Wild-eyed and crazy
I always threw my cash around, round, round
You put the boot in
Until the bottom fell right out, out, out
I turned around
You smell like Monday morning's fish
I can't get near enough to take a goodbye kiss
So keep on looking for me
Once I was lost but now I'm found, found, found
Find me in the movies
Right on the TV screen
Keep on searching for me
And you will hear me scream
Now you're a notch on my gun
Now you're a notch on my gun
Who are you to shoot off your mouth?
Shoot off your mouth
But now I'm back in town and feeling mighty fit
I'm sick and tired of eating all your chicken shit
So keep on looking for me
Once I was lost but now I'm found, found, found
Find me in the palace
Find me on the street
Find me back in church
Right in my favourite seat
Now you're a notch on my gun
Who are you to shoot off your mouth?
Shoot off your mouth
Shoot off your mouth
Shoot off your
Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot
Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot
Peace For The Wicked lyrics - Mick Jagger
No more sleaze ball, funky, low down, skunky juke joints
Where the drinks are knee deep on the floor
And the clientele is posed and angry
And the pretty girls are whores
Who gild the lily, and more's the pity
If you really want to live a life of passion
If you really want to dance your life away
There's a place I really got to show you
It's down in the alley, really hid away
(treat me) Soul City, Soul City
Peace for the wicked
Life for the living in Soul City
It's a way on down the street
I found it once before
Even though I have the keys
I still can't always find the door
It can be tricky
Might have to pick it
Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul City
Soul, Soul, Soul, Soul City
The girls are witty
The boys are pretty
There's a girl who's dancing with my conscience
While the DJ's playing with my heart
On the screen are my recriminations
While I'm singing I'm still praying hard
Soul City, Soul City
Peace for the wicked
Food for the spirit in Soul City
Soul City, Soul City
Come down there with me
Come down there with me
Party Doll lyrics - Mick Jagger
You used to be my party doll
But now you say the party's over
You used to love to honky tonk
But now the honky tonking's over
Now life is a bitter thing, my sweet
Now life is a mystery to me
Love's pain, I ain't buying
Love's strange. I keep trying, trying, trying
You used to be my party doll
But now you want to live in clover
You used to be my number one
But now those salad days are over
Times change but fascination stays
Love wins but the passion just fades
I'll drink to the dancing days
I'll drink to your crazy ways
Through the whiskey haze
Face the music, face the truth
Chase that fleet sweet bird of youth
Grow up sweetly, grow up strong
Hear the heartbeat, in my song
Love's pain, I ain't buying
Love's strange. I keep trying, trying, trying
You used to be my party doll
But now you say the party's over
You used to love to honky tonk
But now those dancing days are over
You used to be my number one
But now you vanished in the ozone
War Baby lyrics - Mick Jagger
I was born in a war
So they call me a war baby
I was born in a war
And it don't make me war crazy
And the guns start to roar
As the fire sweeps the street
Crazy
Why can't we walk the road together
And keep our children safe and sure
War - War Baby
And the war made us poor
Made our future unsure
Hazy
Why don't we run this race together
And keep our children safe and sure
But the arms race is on
And the tanks all roll out
All the guns are in place
We just wait for the shout
To arms, to arms
And the guns start to roar From the ship to the shore
And the bombs start to fall
As we crouch in the hall
as they bust through the breach
Out on Omaha Beach
Why don't we run this road together
Why can't we hope to find a cure
But the arms race is on
And the tanks all roll out
All the guns are in place
As we wait for the shout
And the army sweeps on and on
And the navy sails out
As we rush to the edge
As we wait for the shout
To arms, to arms
War - War Baby
Lonely At The Top lyrics - Mick Jagger
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
God know's you're ambitious, see you push so hard
You want to get to the top of the heap from Sunset Boulevard
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray
'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot!
It's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot!
They're going to tear your soul away
Theater is deserted and the boards are bare
You're next up for the reading and you're feeling scared
Oh, but you really want the part so bad
Yeah, go on, show them how a star should act
Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot
Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot
They're going to tear your soul away
You could be a doctor, you could be a nurse
There's no time to rehearse
You work as a waitress, you clean up the bar
But soon you'll be noticed, you'll be a star
You get your nomination, your heart's beating fast
Yes, and the winner is you! You won the prize at last
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray
'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top
Yeah, baby, it's hot!
They're going to strip your soul away
It's lonely, lonely
It's lonely
You get hungry, you get thirsty
You know you get thirsty...
1/2 A Loaf lyrics - Mick Jagger
We got half a life, we got half a dream
We got half a love, we got half a scheme
Always sitting in the darkness, I'll wait for you
Nervous of the neighbors, I'd like a hotel room
Cause I'm indiscreet, can't keep quiet
Heaven I don't know how
I can't go on seeing you like this
Give that knife just one more twist
This affair is really going to break my heart
Living half a life is better than nothing, half a dream
You know I can't keep quiet 'cause I'm indiscreet
I guess half a loaf leaves me feeling hungry
Half a glass, half a dream, half a life
Heaven I don't know how!
I can't go on seeing you like this
Give that knife just one more little twist
This affair is really going to break my heart
Let's call our friends! Let's go hang out! Let's go out dancing!
Let's jump and shout! Let's go be seen! Let's dress up chic!
Show we're in love! Right on our street!
Let's go out trashy! Let's go act cheap!
What does it matter what other people think?
Step in the bright lights!
Let's go act wild!
I want to show that you're mine all mine
Here's to freezing in the doorways, here's to taking separate taxis
To our stolen conversations, we're never seen together
Half a dream, half a life, heaven I don't know how!
But I can't go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist
This affair is really going to break my heart
I can't go on seeing you like this!
I can't go on seeing you like this!
I can't go on seeing you like this!
I can't go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist
I can't go on seeing you like this!
I can't go on seeing you like this!
Give that knife just one more little twist...
Running Out Of Luck lyrics - Mick Jagger
Running out of luck, running out of speed
lucking for some loving, yes I got the need
Must have spent a fortune, but did I spend it well
If I wanted water, I got it from the well
Throwing out a whole life's low life's possessions
Throwing out a whole life's low life's possessions
Running out of heat, running out of gas
Running out of money, way too fast
Running out of liquor, there's nothing left to eat
Running out of luck, hungry for the meat
Running out of whole life's low life's possessions
Running out of luck, living with the loneliness
Running out of luck, heavy on the holiness
Take it easy with the emptiness
Running out of luck
Push it to the brink, you can take it to the edge
Fighting for survival, clinging to the ledge
You can strip me back to nothing, you never get me beat
Running out of luck, just running of heat
Running out of whole life's low life's possessions
Running out of whole life's low life's possessions
Running out of luck, living with the loneliness
Running out of luck, heavy on the holiness
Easy with the emptiness
Running out of luck
Turn The Girl Loose lyrics - Mick Jagger
Turn the girl loose! I won't hurt nobody
Turn the girl loose! Let her speak for herself
The hounds are on the track, they won't catch nobody
The hounds are on the track, I don't really care
Turn the girl loose! I won't touch nobody
Turn the girl loose! Let her out of your heart
She's calling out across the lacquered ocean
She's calling out - hear her cry for help?
Turn the girl loose! She won't touch nobody
She ain't your mama. She ain't your sister
Let her out of your heart
Turn the girl loose! I won't touch nobody
She ain't your lover. She ain't your brother
Let her out of jail
Just turn that girl loose! I won't hurt nobody. I swear!
Let her out, let her out
Let her out, let her out of jail
You're hanging out and you're sniffing the ground for some new blood
Don't ever get careless and don't leave the keys in the door
I found her crying and helpless, we made a quick getaway
She's here to tell you she don't want to see you no more
Turn that girl loose! I won't hurt nobody
Turn the girl loose! Let her speak for herself
Put her on the rack. Put her in seclusion
When you turned your back, I got the keys to her heart
She's calling out across the lacquered ocean
She's crying, crying out for help
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Turn the girl loose!
Let her speak for herself
Let her speak for herself
Let her out of your heart
Hard Woman lyrics - Mick Jagger
She's a hard woman to please
And I thought about letting her know
She's a hard lady to leave
and I thought about letting her go
She's a tough lady to leave
But, I thought about it
She's a hard lady to please, yes she is
I gave her laughter, she wanted diamonds
I was romantic, she treated my cruelly
Where is the mercy, where is the love?
You see, passion has a funny way
Of burning down and running low
And suddenly it goes out
And you wonder where does it go
She's a hard woman to please
I've thought about letting her know
She's a hard lady to leave, yes she is
I gave her laughter, she wanted diamonds
She was unfaithful, treated me cruelly
Where is the mercy, where is the love?
I'm alone at last; something inside of me knows
I could have loved in vain
For a thousand years
I have to let her go
I've got to let her go
I've got to say goodbye
How can I say goodbye to my baby?
She's a tough cookie, hard lady
I've got to say goodbye
Alone at last and something inside of me knows
I could have loved in vain for a thousand years
I have to let her go
And time goes so fast and new love starts so slow
I could have loved in wain for a thousand years
I have to let her go
I've got to let her go
I've got to say goodbye
Hard woman to please, yes you are
Hard woman,tough lady,
I've got to, I've got to say goodbye.
How can I say goodbye to my baby?
How can I say goodbye to my baby?
So long honey.
Just Another Night lyrics - Mick Jagger
Give me just another night, just another night with you
Give me just another kiss, just before the dawn breaks through
'Cause I'm homesick, feel a little down and blue
And I'm hurting, hurting baby just like you
I was lonely 'til I saw you at the station
And I never thought you'd keep our rendezvous
Baby it's true.
Give me just another night, just another night with you
Give me just another kiss, just before the dawn breaks through
'Cause I'm hungry, hungry for your loving baby
And I'm thirsty, thirsty for your loving baby
And a one-day pass to heaven is so hard to find
And a one-night pass ain't really what I had in mind
I need your sweet tenderness, I need your soft caress
I know the day is coming, don't take away your loving
Can't you see that I'm human?
Just because you've seen my face, just because you know my name
I'm a stranger in this town, can't I have my ups and downs?
Can't you see that I'm human?
I get hungry, get thirsty
I get moody, I need attention
I need your love
I need your love
I want your love
Give me just another night, just another night with you
'Cause I'm freezing in this hundred-dollar hotel room
Don't make me leave you. No, don't you be so cruel
Lucky In Love lyrics - Mick Jagger
A betting fool, a gambling man
No sooner up you're down again
Mama said you won't get hurt
Don't play the cards, you won't get burned
But there's a place where I still win
But there's no money in this thing
The game of hearts puts me in spades
The only game I got it made
Oh, I'm lucky in love!
Yes, I've got the winning touch
Lucky in love!
Suddenly, I'm dangerous
I'm betting on a filly down at the track
A natural-born winner, that's a fact
A hundred yards from the winning post
The horse fell down, must seen a ghost
But there's a place where I still win
That is still my sure-fire thing
I will play the jack of spades
You play the queen, I'll play the knave
Oh, I'm lucky in love!
Yes, I've got the winning touch
Lucky in love!!
Suddenly, I'm dangerous
I know it's a mystery when the numbers come up
'Cause mathematics is Greek to me
But I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky in love
Yeah, Las Vegas at night at the roulette wheel
Yeah, Monte Carlo try to cut a deal
Atlantic City, I lose at craps
Back in London try to win in back
And late at night I lay in bed
With a pistol to my head
Swear I couldn't take no more
And in she walks right through my door
Oh, I'm lucky in love!
When I think I've had enough
Lucky in love!
Yes, I've got the winning touch
Suddenly, I'm dangerous
Yes I'm lucky, Yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Lucky with the ladies
Thank God for the ladies
Otherwise, I'd go, I'd go crazy
How about a line of credit
For say, ten thousand dollars?
Eighteen on the red
Put me, put me home to bed
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Lucky with the ladies
I'm sitting here with a full house
I just can't believe I'll lose out on this
Okay! Okay! Your ten thousand and ten thousand more
You want to raise me, you want to raise me? How about this?
Twenty thousand and twenty thousand more
Okay! You want to see me? Well I got, I got a full house
What's that? A royal flush?
Well, ain't that a bust, I'm broke!
Secrets lyrics - Mick Jagger
I heard a story, all about you
I heard the secrets, maybe they're true
I read the papers, I read the news
I hear the gossip, all about you
They say that you're really not so prim and prude
Behind it all you're rather rude
And really go for younger men
Italian types and lots of them
I can't believe it baby
Maybe it's true
Honey, honey, honey!
Do it for the money
I heard the stories
On saturday night, out in the back room
After one or two lies
Your name is mentioned
It gives me a fright
Dishonorable mention
Puts you in a new light
You've been going downtown slave romancing
Nasty, mean and fancy dancin
With your nose in plastic bags
People talk and tongues all wag
I can't believe it baby
I've been a fool
'Cause scales have just fell from my eyes
You can't keep up your disguise
Tell me about your adventures in living
I won't write a word of libel
Swear it on a thousand Bibles
But, I admit, I have got my misgivings
Maybe it's true
Honey, honey, honey!
Do it for the money
I read the papers, I read the news
I scan the columns for pictures of you
You with the husband, you with the mayor, youu with the kids
Now who are you kidding, who you kidding?
How can you dare?
While you are the mistress of a mafia man
Who's working for the Vatican
And all your money crisply ironed in off-shore banks
Your friends are kind
I can't believe it baby
Maybe it's true
Honey, honey, honey!
Do it for the money
Yeah, you've been a nasty girl
Yeah, you've been bad
You've been bad, you've been bad
You better come over here
And take your punishment
Bad, bad, bad! Bad, bad, bad!
Honey, honey, honey!
Do it for the money
She's The Boss lyrics - Mick Jagger
Stay home my child, stay home with me
Stay home my child, stay home with me
Oh please!
When I first met you, you looked so soft
Sso feminine, you looked so lost
What a fool I was
You called me manly, so masterful
You called me manly, so powerful
Was I ever gullible
She's the boss! She's the boss!
So I stay home, I stay home, stay hohe, stay home
It's all over, the party's over!
It's all over, I'll just shut my mouth
Now don't be cruel! Say you don't mean it
Now don't be cruel! Say you don't mean it
You the boss! Are you the boss?
She's the boss!
She's the boss in the office, she's the boss in the kitchen,
She's the boss in bed, she's the boss in my head
She's the boss! Okay!
You're the boss! Okay!
You're the boss! Okay! Okay! Okay!
I do what you say! Okay!
Now she's the guvernor, she's number one
From where I'm standing, I'm just a bum
Stay home, I stay home, stay home, stay home
It's all over, the party's over!
It's all over, the party's over!
The party's over!
Okay, I'll do what you say baby, it's okay
You want breakfast in bed? You got breakfast in bed
You want me to hold all calls? I'll hold all calls
You want me to fix your hair? I'll fix your hair
You want me to fix you dinner? I'll fix you dinner
You want me to stay up late? I'll stay up late
No problem, no problem
She's the boss! She's the boss!
It's all over, the party's over!
I'll keep my big mouth shut
Yes, she's the boss, she's the boss!
She's got the pants on, now she's the boss!
I stay home. What'd I say?
You want to what? Not right now baby
I've got a headache
You want it right now baby?
Well, I've got to wash my hair
Okay, okay! I'll do what you say, okay, okay, okay!
You're the boss, you're the boss
You've got the pants on, now you're the boss!
Eazy Sleazy lyrics - Mick Jagger (feat. Dave Grohl)
We took it on the chin
The numbers were so grim
Bossed around by pricks
Stiffen upper lips
Pacing in the yard
You're trying to take the mick
You must think I'm really thick
Looking at the graphs with a magnifying glass
Cancel all the tours, football's fake applause
No more travel brochures
Virtual premieres, I've got nothing left to wear
Looking out from these prison walls
You got to rob Peter if you're paying Paul
But it's easy easy
Everything's gonna get really freaky
Alright on the night
Soon it'll be be a memory you're trying to remember to forget
That's a pretty mask
But never take a chance TikTok stupid dance
Took a samba class yeah I landed on my ass
Trying to write a tune you better hook me up to Zoom
See my poncey books teach myself to cook
Way too much TV, its lobotomizing me, yeah
Think I've put on weight
I'll have another drink then I'll clean the kitchen sink
We escaped from the prison walls
Open the windows and open the doors
But it's easy easy
Everything's gonna get really freaky
Alright on the night
It's gonna be a garden of earthly delights
Yeah it's easy sleazy
Everything's smooth and greasy
Yeah easy, believe me
It'll only be a memory you're trying to remember to forget
Shooting the vaccine
Bill Gates is in my bloodstream
It's mind control
The earth is flat and cold
It's never warming up
The Arctic's turned to slush
The second coming's late
And there's aliens in the deep state
Now we're out of these prison walls
You gotta pay Peter if you're robbing Paul
But it's easy easy
Everything's gonna be really freaky
Alright on the night
We're all headed back to paradise
Yeah easy. believe me
It'll be a memory you're trying to remember to forget
Easy cheesy
Everybody sing please please me
Yeah
It'll be a memory you're trying to remember to forget
England Lost lyrics - Mick Jagger
Lost, lost, lost, lost
I went to see England, but England's lost
I went to see England, but England's lost
And everyone said we were all ripped off
I went to see England, but England lost
Lost, lost, lost
It wasn't much fun standin' in the rain
And we all yelled loud and we all complained
Wasn't much of a game
I got soaked
Didn't look home anyway
I went to see England, but England's lost
I went in the back, but they said, "Piss off"
I went to see England, but England's lost
I went to see England, but England...
I went to see...
I went...
I...
I lost a blunt, think I lost the pint
She can go home and smoke a joint, anyway
Do you wanna go?
I went to find England, it wasn't there
I went to find England, it wasn't there
I think I lost it in the back of my chair
I think I'm losing my imagination
I'm tired of talking about immigration
You can't get in and you can't get out
I guess that's what we're all about
I went to find England, but...
I went to find England, but...
I went to find England, but...
I went to find England, but England's lost
Lost, lost, lost, lost
Lost, lost, lost, lost
Had a girl in Lisbon, a girl in Rome
Now I'll have to stay at home
So lock the shallows, bolt the doors
Nothing's gonna be like Singapore
Don't know what's home
Lost, lost, lost, lost
They didn't turn up, the comments complain
No real person is matching their shame
They're much too young and much too hold
Growing much too hot and much too cold
That's what I thought
I went to find England
I went to find England
I went to find England
I went to find England, but England's lost
England Lost (Remix) lyrics - Mick Jagger (feat. Skepta)
[Mick Jagger:]
Lost, lost, lost, lost
I went to see England, but England's lost
I went to see England, but England's lost
And everyone said we were all ripped off
I went to see England, but England lost
Lost, lost, lost
It wasn't much fun standin' in the rain
And we all yelled loud and we all complained
Wasn't much of a game
I got soaked
Didn't look home anyway
I went to see England, but England's lost
I went in the back, but they said, "Piss off"
I went to see England, but England's lost
I went to see England, but England...
I went to see...
I went...
I...
I lost a blunt, think I lost the pint
She can go home and smoke a joint, anyway
Do you wanna go?
I went to find England, it wasn't there
I went to find England, it wasn't there
I think I lost it in the back of my chair
I think I'm losing my imagination
I'm tired of talking about immigration
You can't get in and you can't get out
I guess that's what we're all about
[Skepta:]
True, preach
It's a déjà vu, I've seen it all before
Different season, same score
Everybody wants your head on a spike
But they were singin' your praises a day before
No new faces allowed in
They said it's gettin' overcrowded
They're still fightin' over houses
So I just pick it up, put it down and leave it where I found it
Feel like Macaulay Culkin, I'm home alone
Come to my window and throw a stone
Because I never wanna talk on the phone
Same problems, growin' up in the danger zone
Nothing's changed, same story
Same dirty stains on your dirty laundry
Keep it in the streets, doin' all the work
And the men in the suits takin' all the coin
[Mick Jagger:]
I went to find England, but...
I went to find England, but...
I went to find England, but...
I went to find England, but England's lost
Lost, lost, lost, lost
Lost, lost, lost, lost
Had a girl in Lisbon, a girl in Rome
Now I'll have to stay at home
So lock the shallows, bolt the doors
Nothing's gonna be like Singapore
Don't know what's home
Lost, lost, lost, lost
They didn't turn up, the comments complain
No real person is matching their shame
They're much too young and much too hold
Growing much too hot and much too cold
That's what I thought
I went to find England
I went to find England
I went to find England
I went to find England, but England's lost
Gotta Get A Grip lyrics - Mick Jagger
Gotta get a grip
Beat it with a stick
Gotta get a grip
She goin' for the hit
THe world is upside down
Everybody lunatics and clowns
No one speaks the truth
And madhouse runs the town
Well you gotta get a grip
Beat it with a stick
You gotta get a grip
Everybody's stuffing their pockets
Everybody's on the take
The news is all fake
Let 'em eat chicken and let 'em eat steak
Let 'em eat shit, let 'em eat cake
You gotta get a grip
You gotta get a grip
You gotta keep it zipped
And shoot 'em from the hip
Yeah, yeah, you gotta get a grip
Beat it with a stick
I tried diversion and I tried coercion
Mediation and medication
LA culture and aquapuncture
Overeating and sex in meetings
Induced insanity, Christianity
Long walks and fast drives
And wild clubs and low dives
I pushed and I strived
But I can't get you, can't get you
Can't get you out of my mind
Gotta get a grip
Oh you, oh you
Oh you, beat it with a stick
Immigrants are pouring in
Refugees under your skin
Keep 'em under, keep 'em out
Intellectual, shut your mouth
Beat 'em with a stick
Oh you
Gotta get a grip
Gotta get a grip
Chaos crisis instability, ISIS
Lies and scandals, wars and vandals
Metadata scams and policy shams
Put 'em in a slammer
Gotta get a grip
Gotta get a grip
Come on
Strange Game lyrics - Mick Jagger
(from "Slow Horses" soundtrack)
Surrounded by losers
Misfits and boozers
Hanging by your fingernails
You made one mistake
You got burned at the stake
You're finished, you're foolish, you failed
There's always a hope
On this slippery slope
Somewhere a ghost of a chance
To get back in that game
And burn off your shame
And dance with the big boys again
It's a strange, strange game
Strange, strange game
Such a shame - shame, shame
Yes a strange game
You got to carry the blame
In this strange game
You're out on a limb
And you're trying to get in
It's a strange game
You piled up the corpses
And exhausted your sources
Lying right under a cloud
The odds are against you
The gods haven't blessed you
You better get back on the rails
Drill down on the data
Keep pushing the paper
The damps dripping down on the walls
It's a million to one
There's a place in the sun
To dance with the big boys again
It's a strange, strange game
Strange, oh so strange
You don't even know my real name
Yes a strange game
You got to carry the blame
In this strange strange game
You're out on a limb
And you're trying to get in
It's a strange game
