Title: lyrics question-Rocks Off
Post by NoBozos on Sep 12^th, 2010 at 9:22am

Hey everyone! great site!

I have a question about the lyrics in the chorus of "Rocks Off". Now I know that Mick is saying "only get my rocks off...." but there is another vocal going under that and it sounds like "gotta get some more get some more get some more".

not sure what that vocal is...? any ideas?
thanks! :interestingstuffronnie

Pretty sure it's "Only get 'em off, get 'em off ..."

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (only get them off, get them off),
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (only get them off, get them off).
I think originally it was get THEM off but then it morphed into get 'EM off
THEM OFF could sound like SOME MORE with MICK's lovely accent. Whatever MICK originally said it morphed into get em off IMO.
