Any silly Stones lyrics?
Jun 3^rd, 2020 at 6:18pm

Ii heard people talking today about how songwriters don't like their work being posted on lyrics sites. I reflected that some might dislike it so much because they'd prefer that no one could be certain of what they wrote. Maybe they feel like they're being coned.

As many Stones songs as there are-- call me a bad fangirl if you want but I don't know them all-- there has to be one or tow with some silly or sketchy lyrics. Do you know of any? Hey, it might be entertaining.

Reply #5 - Jun 5^th, 2020 at 7:57am I think I threadcapped with my response. There may not be a lamer Stones lyric than "Sharks will cry..."

"Sharks will cry" is the worst, followed by the unimaginative "I wanna fuck your sweet ass!" from the same song.

Reply #8 - Jun 5^th, 2020 at 3:35pm Stu's piano is wonderful, but if he wasn't playing on it, this would be right up there with sparks will fly, sharks will cry, and as a song is certainly a bigger piece of shite: Streets of Shite always gets a special mention. Blinded by Rainbows has some God awful moments.

Let's not be tooo liiteral.
Quite a few Stoads lyrical lines have more than one meaning, surely.
One definition of sharks crying is lawyers crying, which presumably they (the lawyers) would have done if they discovered Mick and Jerry having 'hot sexy time' during a build-up to a divorce / having argy-bargy arguments after tour shenanigans / discovering that the latter couple weren't officially married - in the western sense - anyway.

Or Or was the song title in fact about Ron & Russell Mael flapping & wafting through the air?
This is a question that should be asked when encountering a member of the Stoads[i] or indeed Sparks.

Reply #12 - Jun 9^th, 2020 at 8:09am A bit different, but I hate how 99.99999% of the time in concert Mick sings "looks like a burning carpet" instead of "burns like a red coal carpet" in "Gimme Shelter" live; the original lyric is so vivid and ominous whereas the alternative is just bland and leaves little to the imagination.

INDIAN GIRL, anyone?

Little Indian girl, where is your mama?
Little Indian girl, where is your papa?
He's fighting in the war in the streets of Masaya
All the children were dead, except for the girl who said
Please Mister Gringo, please find my father

[Chorus]
Lesson number one that you learn while you're young
Life just goes on and on getting harder and harder
Little Indian girl, from Nueva, Granada
Little Indian girl, from Nueva, Granada

[Verse 2]
Ma says there's no food, there's nothing left in the larder
Last piece of meat was eaten by the soldiers that raped her

[Chorus]
Lesson number one that you learn while you're young
Life just goes on and on getting harder and harder[x2]
Little Indian girl, from Nueva, Granada
Little Indian girls, from Nueva, Granada

[Outro]
Yes, I saw them today. It's a sight I would say
They're shooting down planes with their M-16 and with laughter
Mr. Gringo, my father he ain't no Che Guevara
And he's fighting the war on the streets of Masaya
Little Indian girl where is your father?
Indian girl where is your momma?
They're fighting for Mr. Castro in the streets of Angola

Hmmm. No offense, WoaF but... I'm not buying it. It sounds to me like they just couldn't come up with a better 3-syllable rhyme. I'm still going to mock them. Tongue

And PA, Indian Girl always sounded very sad to me.
