Title: Plundered - an ode to Ronnie ??
Post by Deathgod on Apr 17^th, 2010 at 8:43pm

more i hear it, the more it feels like Micks 'Ronnie song'

" I smell rubber and I soon discovered that you’re gone for good.
My indiscretions made a bad impression. Guess I was misunderstood."

"I started asking around but your friend's pretty lips were sealed.
I wrote a letter full of prattle and tried the fashions and my wounds that heel.
I had some gossip. Come on I got it, you’re dryin’ out.
So I phoned every clinic in the yellow pages, not a place I found."

"But I do miss your quick repartee and the smile the length of your face.
You'll be a hard act to follow. A bitter pill to swallow.
You’re a tough, oh you’re tough to replace."

Could it be Mick pleading to Ronald ?
:will-ya

Could be.

My 1st thought was a song to his muse.

Not likely. ... Mick tosses off lyrics these days. 90% is cliches, 9% is luck, and 1% is inspiration.

Unfortunately, I believe that's true.

In the very beginning of the song, the guitars remind me of a Faces or a Maggie May style intro. It has a Ronnie feel to it. The lyrics could be about Ronnie, nice observation Deathgod!
