Gimme Shelter
|
|
A storm is threatening My very life today If I don't get some shelter I'm gonna fade away War, children It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away War, children It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away Now the fire is sweeping Our very streets today Burns like a red coal carpet Mad bull lost his way War, children It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away War, children It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away Rape, murder It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away Rape, murder It's just a shot away, it's just a, it's just a Rape, murder It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away Flood is threatening My very life today Gimme, gimme shelter Or I'm gonna fade away War, children It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away I tell you love, sister It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away |

Love in Vain
|
|
Well, I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand It's hard to tell, hard to tell, but all true love's in vain When the train come in the station, I looked her in the eye Well, the train come in the station and I looked her in the eye I felt so sad and lonesome that I could not help but cry When the train left the station, it had two lights on behind When the train left the station, it had two lights on behind The blue light was my baby and the red light was my mind All my love's in vain All my love's in vain |

Country Honk
|
|
Sitting in a bar, tippling a jar in Jackson And on the street the summer sun it shines There's many a bar room queen I've had in Jackson But I just can't seen to drink you off my mind It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues I played a divorcee in New York City I had to put up some kind of a fight The lady she all dressed me up in roses She blew my nose and then she blew my mind It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues |

Live with Me
|
|
I got nasty habits, I take tea at three Yes, and the meat I eat for dinner must be hung up for a week My best friend, he shoots water rats and feeds them to his geese Don't you think there's a place for you in between the sheets Come on now, honey We can build a home for three Come on now, honey Don't you want to live with me And there's a score of harebrained children, they're all locked in the nursery They got earphone heads, they got dirty necks, they're so 20th century Well they queue up for the bathroom 'round about 7:35 Don't you think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive You'd look good pram pushing Down the high street Come on now, honey Don't you want to live with me The servants they're so helpful, dear, the cook she is a whore Yes, the butler has a place for her behind the pantry door The maid, she's French, she's got no sense, she's wild for Crazy Horse And when she strips, the chauffeur flips, the footman's eyes get crossed Don't you think there's a place for us Right across the street Don't you think there's a place for you In between the sheets |

Let It Bleed
|
|
Well, we all need someone we can lean on And if you want it, you can lean on me We all need someone we can lean on And if you want it, you can lean on me She said, "My breasts, they will always be open Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me And there will always be a space in my parking lot When you need a little coke and sympathy" We all need someone we can dream on And if you want it, baby, you can dream on me We all need someone we can cream on And if you want to, you can cream on me I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea But you knifed me in my dirty, filthy basement With that jaded, faded, junky nurse, what pleasant company We all need someone we can feed on And if you want it, you can feed on me Take my arm, take my leg, baby, don't you take my head We all need someone we can bleed on And if you want it, baby, you can bleed on me We all need someone we can bleed on And if you want it, baby, why don't you bleed on me All over Get it on rider, get it on rider, get it on rider You can bleed all over me Get it on rider, get it on rider, get it on rider You can come all over me |

Midnight Rambler
|
|
Did you hear about the midnight rambler Everybody got to go Did you hear about the midnight rambler The one that shut the kitchen door He don't give a hoot of warning Wrapped up in a black cat cloak He don't go in the light of the morning He split the time the cock'rel crows Talking about the midnight gambler The one you never seen before Talking about the midnight gambler Did you see him jump the garden wall Sighing down the wind so sadly Listen and you'll hear him moan Talking about the midnight gambler Everybody got to go Did ya hear about the midnight gambler Honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show I'm talking about the midnight gambler The one you never seen before Don't do that Don't you do that Well, you heard about the Boston It's not one of those Well, talking 'bout the midnight, shh The one that closed the bedroom door I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger The knife-sharpened tippy-toe Or just the shoot them dead, brainbell jangler You know, the one you never seen before So if you ever meet the midnight rambler Coming down your marble hall Well, he's pouncing like a proud black panther You can say I, I told you so Don't you listen for the midnight rambler Play it easy, as you go I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door Did you hear about the midnight rambler He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall And did you hear about the midnight gambler And did you see me make my midnight call And if you ever catch the midnight rambler I'll steal your mistress from under your nose I'll go easy with your cold fanged anger I'll stick my knife right down your throat Baby, and it hurts |

You Got the Silver
|
|
Hey babe, what's in your eyes I saw them flashing like airplane lights You fill my cup, babe, that's for sure I must come back for a little more You got my heart, you got my soul You got the silver, you got the gold You got the diamonds from the mine That's all right, it'll buy some time Tell me, honey, what will I do When I'm hungry and thirsty too Feeling foolish and that's for sure Just waiting here at your kitchen door Hey baby, what's in your eyes Is that the diamonds from the mine What's that laughing in your smile I don't care, no, I don't care Oh babe, you got my soul You got the silver, you got the gold A flash of love, just made me blind I don't care, no, that's no big surprise |

Monkey Man
|
|
I'm a flea bit peanut monkey All my friends are junkies That's not really true I'm a cold Italian pizza I could use a lemon squeezer What you do But I've been bit and I've been tossed around By every she-rat in this town Have you, babe Well, I am just a monkey man I'm glad you are a monkey woman too I was bitten by a boar I was gouged and I was gored But I pulled on through Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs I always have an unmade bed Don't you Well, I hope we're not too messianic Or a trifle too satanic We love to play the blues Well, I am just a monkey man I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe I'm a monkey I'm a monkey I'm a monkey man I'm a monkey man I'm a monkey |

You Can't Always Get What You Want
|
|
I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she would meet her connection At her feet was her footloose man You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometime you'll find You get what you need We went down to the demonstration To get your fair share of abuse Singing "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse" You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find You get what you need I went down to the Chelsea drugstore To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy And man, did he look pretty ill We decided that we would have a soda My favorite flavor, cherry red I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy And he said one word to me and that was "dead" I said to him You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometime you just might find You get what you need You get what you need I saw her today at the reception In her glass was a bleeding man She was practiced at the art of deception Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find You just might find You get what you need |
