Mick Jagger Lyrics

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

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

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, 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 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

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

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

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

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, 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, no escape, no parole

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, looking for a place to go

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

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

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

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

Just take a deep breath

And work your way up

Let's work, be prou

Stand tall, touch the clouds

Man and woman, be free

Let's work, kill poverty

La, la, la

Work your way up

Let's work, be prou

Stand tall, touch the clouds

Man and woman, be free

Let's work, kill poverty

You're sitting down on your butt

And your get greedy

You start to lose your nuts

Don't you look seedy

So take a deep breath

Ain't gonna sweat for you

Ain't gonna sigh for you

Ain't gonna cry for you

If you're lazy

Ain't gonna slave for you

Ain't gonna hurt for you

It just won't work for you

If you're lazy

Let's work, be proud

Stand tall, touch the clouds

Let's work, let's eat

Let's live in ecstasy

Man and woman, be free

Let's work, kill poverty

Man and woman, be free

Let's work, let's work

Get down in the dirt and let's work

Get up, be free

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

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

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

Walk forwards

Walk backwards

Radio control

Work hard

Take a vacation

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

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

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

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

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

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

'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

'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!

Give that knife just one more little twist

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

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 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!

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?

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 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

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

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

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

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!

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

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 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 England's 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, 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

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 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 England's 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, 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 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

Chaos crisis instability, ISIS

Lies and scandals, wars and vandals

Metadata scams and policy shams

Put 'em in a slammer

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

Catch As Catch Can lyrics - Mick Jagger

You think that you know me
But look in my eyes
Looks like your lover
Is drunk every night

You won't recognize me
Please take your time
Down on my luck, girl
Out of time

Catch as catch can [x2]
You walk like a lamb
I'm leaving you

You won't recognize me
Just look in my face
I've been a sinner
I've been a disgrace

Darling you don't know me
Just look in my eyes
I've been out on the town, girl
I've been out on the ties

Catch as catch can - go ahead
You walk like a lamb - stand on your own two feet
You don't understand, you don't understand
Gun in your hand
I'm leaving you

Not a little girl now

You think that you know me
But look in my eyes
Looks like your lover
Is drunk every night

You won't recognize me
Just look in my face
Looks like your boyfriend
Is a disgrace

You don't know me, you don't know me
Just look in my eyes
I've been out on the town, girl
Yes I have, I've been out, I've been out every night

Catch as catch can
Walk like a man
Come on little baby
Give my lover every [?] that you can

Catch as catch can - that's what I said
Catch as catch can - come on girl
You walk like a man - I can't understand this
I'm leaving you

That's what I do

Hey
