continuing disclaimer: mick is singing/slurring rough-draft lyrics,
being more concerned with the sounds and emotions than the words.
but i find it fascinating to hear/mishear him in the midst of shaping an idea.

Built That Way

1) not mick or keith's composing style, so i'm guessing that
it started with a 1950's sorta new orleans vamp between charlie
and the piano player. its a nice change to hear charlie playing without
his usual restraint.

2) the lyrics are a variation on the rolling stone/tumbling dice
theme: sorry, darl, love ya but i gotta move on

3) but there's humor to it too. mick knows its only partly true,
and partly kind of a convenient excuse: sorry, darl, its this
tragic flaw i have, its just the way i'm built, bye

4) he's not sloganeering, like with gaga's "born this way".
He's just a lucky guy being offered a lot of loving. he's not
ungrateful but, to be honest, for him at this point its
just sorta his life style.

5) in other words, he's just living his best life, playing the
hand he's been dealt. He's not moralizing or immoralizing about
how YOU should or shouldnt live your very different life.

cleared my head on a highway south
i'm on a phone that is on the way
hid in my hole and was ten years old
i was thirty thousand miles away

i'll be on time and i said one prayer
we dont wanna spend our cash

baby, and i'm built that way
i dont want it anyway
thank you for your love today
i dont need it anyway

yeah, on my face, nineteen ninety-four
on a hundred seventy dollars a day
i see no women, down a cool blonde town,
down the hall and its tucked away

i dont mind if you shoot at craps
but i dont want to take your trash
hey but i'm built that way
cant help it if i'm built that way

i held my plan, i'm gonna run it down
and the drums upon the fire all day
it dont seem, while much too much,
it only seems that i've much to say

i dont mind if i'm second class
but i dont want to take your train

honey leave your love away
i dont need it anyway
baby, leave your love today
i dont need it anyway

i cant help it if i'm built that way
i cant help it if i'm built that way

hey hey hey
dont need it anyway

Rev 20 Redlights wrote on Mar 14^th, 2021 at 5:20pm:

i think the proper name for track 5 is "Old Eliza Jane". It is the Stones'
version of the many "Liza Jane" variations that originated in the
early 19th century and which became standardized in Appalachia and
New Orleans as "Lil Liza Jane" (young and a real sweetheart) and
"Good Bye Eliza Jane" (when she's gotten jaded and just uses men
for their money, until they inevitably smarten up and kick her to
the curb).

"a song with the refrain "Oh lil Liza, lil Liza Jane" was sung by slaves
before the American Civil War. The name "Eliza Jane" was a standard character
in minstrel shows. A "Liza Jane" tune was first published in 1871. The book
"Negro Folk-Songs", published in 1918, documents a version associated with
a dancing game. Couples would dance in a circle, with an extra woman in the
middle. The extra woman would "steal" one of the men, the odd woman out then
going into the center, this process repeating."

here's a few more of the many variants:

and some lyrics from a 1903 version that perhaps inspired jagger:

Look a’ here, Liza, listen to me
You ain’t the gal you promised to be
Didn’t you say you always would be true?

You went a-driving with Mister Brown
Now I’m the laughing stock of the town
Folks say that I was crazy to trust you

And well, you‘ll know, when I go
I was the fella with the “dough, dough, dough”
Good-bye, Eliza Jane

Look a’ here, Liza, take off those rings
Dig in that trunk, gal, hand me those things

Cough up that old gold watch and chain
Take that umbrella, cause it might rain

Rent time is here, babe, landlord today
I’ll be away; who’s going to pay?
Good-bye, Eliza Jane

But i think jagger takes it a step farther, in that he's
more understanding in his attitude towards eliza. Yeah,
she's back on the streets again, but as somebody once said,
she just can't be chained to a life where nothing's gained,
and nothing's lost. I mean, she can't help it if she's built
that way.

In other words, she's quite familiar with how it feels.
To be on her own. With no direction home.

Old Eliza Jane

aka "back on the streets again"
aka "eliza upchink"

(approx lyrics)

well all, welcome to you
i'm gonna catch up fast
i won't mind you, honey
it wont be the last

if you late, want money
if you want it quick
here's five hundred dollars
hello Big Fat Lips

old eliza's gambling
old eliza jane
old eliza, back on time
back on the street again

you say you want money
if you hate your life
i won't bark, i won't bray
give me all your ride

she will spend my money
she will try it real quick
i'll be stiffening, i love jesus
i wanna stick it in her

(censored)

i said old eliza's gambling
old eliza jane
old eliza's gambling
she's back on the street again

she wont send my jewelry
give me my first show
you don't miss, you don't get to
i dont blow your door

she won't feed her family
i don't need your sass
if i had a million bucks
i would be the last

i said, old eliza's gambling
old eliza jane
old eliza's gagging
she's out on the streets again

you said steal my money
you think it will last
you want five hundred dollars
you want more or less

you weren't meant to do it
you cant pay your rent
you cant pay for all i pray for
back on the street again

you said, old eliza's doing
what you done all day
christian doll says, silly fool
she gonna find a way

you don't wear no bonnet
and will make the rain
all i ever do is to go tell you
when i'm back on the streets again

old eliza's gambling
old eliza jane
here's four hundred dollars
get out on the street and pray

Fiji Jim

aka Billy James
aka Ronnie Wood

So my theory is that Fiji Jim, Billy James, and Ronnie Wood are
one-and-the-same guy. A discreet and poetic way for mick to
write about Ronnie (who named his kid "jesse james" in 1976.
Also, James/Jim/Jimmy echoes Woods/Wood/Woody)

And it sounds like one of ronnie's girlfriends "anna"
(undoubtedly an "eliza jane" type) was just as wild.

Anyway, since my opinion is that ronnie wood is the most
underrated player in rock'n'roll history, i think its great
that mick has written a tribute to the joyous gypsy madman
who saved the Stones.

(approx lyrics - this is my edit of an existing transcription
from another website)

C'mon on over, Fiji Jim, your full name is Billy James
Tell him to bring his electric guitar, the poor boy's going insane
Then we'll duck two bars away, snort an ounce of cocaine
Took myself about fifty-five darts*, six-pack more of champagne

Better watch out for Fiji Jim, come up and spend the day
Come on and bring your wah-wah pedal, then let's go on stage
Ronnie brought about fifty thousand kids, and slipped down in the rain
Fell to the beat to the 25th floor, the white girl's gone insane

Better watch out for smooth sly Anna. Pilchard** is out for a raid
Come up on feet to the 25th floor, the poor chick's gone insane
He bust two ribs, he bust two arms, his legs is just stumps in the rain
His brain is shred, his nose is bled, but his hands, they sure can play

Better watch out for cool sly Anna, come on Billy James
Come on bring your electric guitar because these boys are just so gonna play
Come on down Miss Suicide Anna, Fiji Jim's gonna reign
Tell him to bring his wah-wah pedal, the boys are going insane

* slang for tobacco and/or marijuana cigarettes (also slang for syringes)
** Norman “Nobby” Pilcher (re-named "pilchard" in i am the walrus), notorious cop
who busted various Stones and Beatles. Pilcher was already an ex-cop by the time Ronnie
joined the Stones, so mick would be using his name here generically, to mean "top narc".

Cooking Up

aka Coking Up?

yeah, maybe its just joy the band is feeling, or maybe its
more than that. either way, they are for sure cooking.

the two ians, dueling pianos. neither keith nor ronnie breaking
stride. leaving absolutely no space for a melody. no space for mick.

so mick does something so weird and wonderful and counter-intuitive.
instead of hyping himself up to match the brilliance of his speedfreak band,
he goes the opposite way. Moron lyrics sung in a voice like he's dead drunk...

And by some strange alchemy it works to perfection...

(approx lyrics)

oo-ee oo-ee dangerous
say you love me and you want me
say you dont, say you win
say you love and youre more of a man

you say you love me bay-oh-bee
you say love me and hold me

say you mean it, say you cant
you say you love me and come on back
say you mean it and say you wont
you say you will and then you wont

say you really love me

you say you will and be my wife
you say you will and hold me
you say you love me and you cant come home
you say you rock and you roll me
yeah

you say baby
you say you rock and you roll me
you say you will and you cant go home
you say you will and you hold me

and love me, hold me, save me

you say you will and you cant go home
you say youre lonely and you fall in love
you say you will and you go on home
then you said, woo woo woo, lets go home

you say you want, you say you wont
you feel lonely and you feel my love
if youre winning when i win your love
then i say thats true truish love

hold me if you love me
and you cant really love me
you say you really really want me
you say you didnt, and you hold me

you say you will and you say you wont
do you or do you really want me

say you will, say you wont
you say you will but you cant go home

you say you want, you say you wont
you say you will and then you wont

you say you will and you say you wont
love me no matter what wont get
you get scared and you run away
you say you will and you run on home
you say you will and you say you wont

(mojoman, cheers!)

You say you really love the Stones ?

Prove it. Their New 7" Available Now

Yeah, I wish.

My point is that its not only the Stones' music that is incompatible
with today's market. Its also the unflinching realism of their lyrics.
Can you imagine if all these sex and drugs tracks were officially
released in this day and age? With the words made clear? The stones
would be tarred and feathered, including by half the puritans on the
iorr forum.

Much better strategy to keep it all undercover. Keep it all out of sight.
Sneak it out to those in the know. With almost nobody knowing the words.

Deep Love

1) this tune is one that seems to show heavy recent post-production
2) i started to write a rave review for charlie's war drums on this
one, but according to the musician listing on the top of this page,
its chuck leavell on drums! No fucking way. It also gives "percussion"
credits to steve jordan and charley drayton. So i still wish it was
watts, but its probably drayton on drums 3) if you listen to keith's
vocal take on this (from previous bootlegs), its a plaintive cry. But
now, by beefing up the drums and the guitars, and with mick's vocal
aggression, the underlying power of the original track is tripled.

(approx lyrics)

Whoa yeah
You say you love me, baby. true deep love.
You say it's me baby, you're thinking of
So if you really want me, give me deep love
you say you're crazy for me. then prove it. with deep love.

ah yeah. oh yeah
you can fight it, bite it, eat it or diet
it dont mean a thing to me
you can feed it, heat it, you wont defeat it
you gotta let it happen naturally

ah yeah. oh yeah.
you got it pretty for me. deep love.
you better tell me quick. your real love.
you say you really want me. give me deep love.
you say youre crazy for me. give me deep love.
yeah

oh yeah
i might be lying. its cheap love.
might keep you waiting. for deep love.
oh yeah

you berate it, hate it, decided not to try it
it don't mean nothing to me
you can blame it, frame it, even try to tame it
its the pleasure for me naturally

oh yeah
you say you want it badly. how bad? deep love.
don't be lying. with cheap love.
just say you love me, baby. yeah. cheap love.
c'mon follow me. give it up.
i might have once wallowed. gimme deep love.

THE SMASH FOLLOW-UP TO THEIR HIT SINGLE "DEEP LOVE"
b/w Sex Drive (extended club version)

Rev 20 Redlights wrote on Apr 11^th, 2021 at 8:32am:

Dreams to Remember

otis redding's original is a straight-forward remembrance
of romance past, and the hope of re-kindling it. mick instead
preaches about the importance of remembering sleep dreams.
fyi, both keith and i were seeing the same shrink in NYC,
anita stevens. circumstantial evidence, including this song,
indicates that mick probably saw her as well at an earlier time.
She always asked about any dreams you could remember. They
gave her important insights into what made you tick.

(approx lyrics)

yes, you tell all your friends about it

(when you remember a strange or hot dream)

every time you wake up in the morning
you just forget everything

(most of the time)

but i tell ya,
i got dreams i can remember over and over again

i got rough dreams. bad dreams.
badder. badder. badder. ooh.
ahh, sometimes i can't even think about it anymore

there's someone knocking on my door
and i say "what?"
am i still asleep?
or am i just dreaming?
awake? or sleep walking?

Mister Smith, listen:
"you're in a state of sleepless nights and lonely days"

and i said, "Yes"
say what?
"Yow!"

Yeah I got dreams, dreams, dreams to remember
I got rough dreams, bad dreams, good dreams to remember.
Oh!

Yes I got dreams, I can't forget em

(here mick tells a dream he had about keith.
ronnie is referenced too)

Sometimes your best friend come to you
when he's working on the job, he says
"Can you lend me ten dollars?"
I say, "for what?"
"I said, shit, can you lend me ten dollars?"
I say, "for what?"
"I don't want to talk about it, just give me under
the table a ten dollar bill"
"I know what you guys are gonna buy. A fifth of whiskey."

I got dreams to remember
I got bold dreams, bad dreams, sad dreams to all remember

ooh yeah. she got dreams, dreams to remember
she got often bad ones, problems, sad dreams

sugar, i better stop it now
about that time, know what i'm talking about?

"yeah, i know. yeah, i know"

yes. that's alright.

Troubles a Coming

hopefully i'm hearing these words wrong.
very bleak. reminds me of mick's "too
far gone". not musically, just the theme.

musically this track is an upper, a classic
pump-along with charlie and bill. with the
best kind of guitar weaving, where its keith
and ronnie in a musical conversation, and not
just ronnie filling in spaces.

anyway, back to the doom and gloom...

there's a story, maybe apocryphal, of mick
and keith in an airliner that goes into a
nosedive. there's of course screaming and
crying. but keith just takes out his guitar
and him and mick start laughing and
singing their way into their next lives.

or, as keith once put it, "what else can you
do but keep on rocking and hope for the best"

amen.

(approx lyrics)

well i can hear all the people talking
i can hear the planet warping
"Troubles a coming", always that one
if you take me a ways from here
then i wont be a thousand years

trouble is coming, youre gonna pay for having fun
Trouble is coming, always that one
get it together

well i can know what the Pope's delivering
i said, excuse me for living
i'm in a prison and love is the key

if you want, now get together
well i know i'm not thinking of how
troubles a coming, you can see the death of hope
trouble is coming, something wants to steal your hope

the trouble is bad
youre stripped of all hope
trouble is coming
youre cheated of hope

got to say, the death of hope
trouble is coming, seeing the death of hope

well i can hear all the people talking
i can hear the planet warping
"Troubles a coming", always that one

if you take me a ways from here
then i wont be a thousand years
trouble is coming, youre gonna pay for having fun
trouble is coming, always that one
ooh get it together

well i can know what the Pope delivers
i said, excuse me for living
i'm in a prison and love is the key

if you want, now get together
i said i know i'm not thinking of how
trouble is coming, you can see the death of hope
trouble is coming, something wants to steal your hope

Sep 20, 2017 Vatican City —
Continuing his series of audience talks on Christian hope, Pope Francis gave
extensive advice on how to teach people, especially young people, to remain
full of hope. "No matter where God has planted you, hope. Always hope."

She's Doing Her Thing

marianne makes a nice picture sleeve, but i don't think this song is necessarily
about her. its probably about brian again, like "miss amanda jones"

(approx lyrics by frtylicks at iorr dot org)

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
for your pleasure,
for your pleasure,
the Stones,

I think she's out playing,
do you know where she's staying,
what odds are you laying?

She's doing her thing, No!
She's doing her thing, Oh!
She's doing her thing,

You say she's a baby,
well thats just cause maybe,
I hear that she's crazy,
But, doing her thing,
But, doing her thing
But, doing her thing, Oh!

Am i who will save her,
all the years that you gave her,
she says thanks for the favor!

She's doing her thing, Yeah
She's doing her thing,
She's doing her thing, oh no! Oh yeah!

I know who's she blaming,
i hope you dont name names ,
She's doing her thing, what?
She's doing her thing, Oh!
She's doing her thing, Oh!

I think she's out playing,
do you know where she's staying,
what odds are you laying?

She's doing her thing, what?
She's doing her thing, Yeah!
She's doing her thing, M-huh!
Did you know she's doing it all the time there?

Dog Shit

this was the first of these outtakes to blow me away, so i complained
about it being titled "dog shit". more like "god shit" i thought.

but it seems mick is playing with the old superstition that it is
good luck to step in dog shit, so now i'm cool with the title.

i enjoy it whenever mick speculates a little on the subject of luck.
i guess most people think that the science of probability explains
everything, but mick seems to have at least a little bit of a karmic
philosophy. as great as the stones are, and as hard and as smart as
they have pursued their career, mick and keith have never discounted
the element of luck that has seemed to "dog" them.

specifically here mick seems to be talking about how his "bad"
love affairs have often led him to a better place...

(approx lyrics, keithgotsoul at iorr dot org posted partial lyrics,
and i have tried to complete them)

Maybe ugly, maybe blue
Maybe someone I cant talk to
Maybe funny, maybe serious

So long, you've been good to me
So long, You’ve been bad to me
So long, i say that that’s good luck

You’ve been ugly
You’ve been cruel
You’ve been something I can’t refuse
Maybe six or seven lives but...

Bad luck, since you’re dogging me
Bad luck, its been bothering you
Bad luck, its so new that its...
Gassed up!
so long woman

Since you left, I ain’t been alive
Seven days been gone
and what you need is anyone

Bad luck, but i've been bad too
Good luck, its so elusive
Bad news, since i been with you
Good love, bad for every woman

Maybe happy, maybe ecstatic
You sent me on to your toys in the attic
i maybe love that part of you, but youre
bad luck!

i wasn’t bothering you

You made me horny, you made me mad
Made me something I never had
Call me soon when it’s soon enough, but it’s
bad luck

Bad luck, for somebody
Good luck, she’s going along with it
Bad luck, somebody will

Made me problems, so damn sad
almost the best thing I ever had
Made me loose and it made me low, and it’s

Bad luck, to get inside you
Good luck, come and see me
Good love, is supersonic
So long woman

Bad luck, bad luck,
she taught me to keep smiling yeah
Keep moving yeah, keep driving now

So long, somebody lost, so long, somebody wins
Bad luck, it starts with you
it was sure pain but I run for you

a 1950's sorta new orleans vamp between charlie and the piano player.
its a nice change to hear charlie playing without his usual restraint.

its billy preston, which i shouldve been able to guess. Also:

Happy Birthday Mr. Watts!

whatever mick's singing, its not important, i think he's just saying a
stream-of-consciousness version of "go fuckin keith go", like a surreal
carnival barker, like an invocation for his demon brother. as keith just
crushes it.

"20 nil" is a measurement of crushed stone

"20 nil" is also a rugby score. so yeah, mick could alternatively be a surreal
coach or announcer, with keith crushing it that way, on the playing field.

whatever.

(approx lyrics)

Yeah, get it out of your hair
everyone out on the street are on it
Get it out of your hair
ahh, the press is insane,
yeah, lets pull it off
yeah, wenches exclaim,
get in there

yeah, ahh, get out of here now
get out of the path
whoa killer atmosphere
the bitches are hypnotized

ahhh get out of here
cant get them out of the path
yeah, i wanna see you on him
oh i just want to be fair
yeah i betcha his face's upon this
yeah i'll never let her out of there

its hard to call upon you
you could never get her
yes its hard to call her, upon him
yeah can't get them out of there

Sanctuary

For my musical enjoyment i sequenced
"Sanctuary" into "Tried To Talk Her Into It".

It turns out the themes of the songs sequence as well,
and both themes are very unusual. I don't have all the lyrics,
but I have enough of them.

In "sanctuary" mick plays a creepy-voiced version of himself,
using standard techniques to maneuver a damsel towards his bedroom

(partial lyrics)

*sanctuary*

baby, come right in
and baby, come sit down
can i get you something to drink?
would you like to look around?

*sanctuary*

you are so beautiful, ah-huh

*you got to love somebody*

i don't want to stop
sugar its alright

*you got to love somebody*

baby, i've been waiting
i've been wanting to tell the world about it
you don't want to stop

i tell ya, change my world
cry to me, baby, its alright

*you got to love somebody*

Tried to Talk Her Into It

So then, in "tried to talk her into it", mick reveals that
his seduction failed

(partial lyrics)

i tried to talk her into it
one sweet night of love

i tried to say to what extent
my love for her was heaven sent

i tried to talk her into it
i tried to mess her into it
i tried to drink her into it
one sweet night of love

i tried to talk her into it
i gave her money, she refused
what would you do?

Woo!
One sweet night of love

And how does mick feel about his seduction failing?
this is what's so unusual, he celebrates it with a hoedown!
Like Diogenes searching the earth for an honest man, mick has
at last found an honest woman, and fallen in love. Woo!

I love all the Stones reggae rockers, a genre they invented in
1974 with Luxury, well ahead of The Clash. And this track here
is among their best, a get-your-ass-moving one-song street-fest.
Keith and Ronnie lock in together as only those two can.

Not The Way to Go

(approx lyrics. from back when it was legal for mick to sing in patois.
the music may be upbeat, but mick is not pleased with what he's been
seeing on the news. somebody's been telling tales out of school)

sunburnt baby, hitting on a dollar
rooming house raid, i'm-a dob in everyone

it's not the way to go

sunburnt baby, hitting on a dollar
rooming house raid, i'm-a dob in everyone

it's not the way to go

hey nah nah baby, i'm worried about it too
and i turned sunburnt, worried about you

it's not the way to go

eyes on my baby and now war on tv
putting out flames and talking about me

that's not the way to go

hey now sunburnt baby, that's not in the movies
the thing i must say, when they talking about me

it's not the way to go

hey my sunburnt babe, on the toll telephone
picking all the fans off, singing, i say...

that's not the way to go
that's not the way

Ol' Eliza Jane

aka Eliza Upchink

(approx lyrics and commentary earlier this page)

FOOTNOTE:

Eliza's brand of choice is "Raleigh Rye", marketed as "for men of brains"

1) there's a famous photo of one such man (below) often entitled "bum 1907"

2) bottle collectors pay crazy money, and there are no known surviving "raleigh rye"
bottles, so its a bit of a Holy Grail. keep your eyes open at the flea market

Its A Lie

I remember an interviewer asking Mick why he never
seemed to write anything personal, and Mick responded
that on the contrary sometimes what he wrote seemed
embarassingly personal from his point of view.

I think there's a lot of songs that are obviously
reflective of a particular 17 years, when he was with
Jerry and the kids, but also away on his own pursuing
his career and, uh, other passions.

I've often complimented Mick on how expertly he, uh,
shades the truth. And how necessary it is to do so if
youre a big rockstar with powerful libido, who wants
and needs a family life too.

(approx lyrics)

if i'm looking on the quiet, baby
looking for it, forward and raving
loving up those (who) can ride and ride

if i'm looking for the fast times
if i'm looking for your virginal ride
loving my love and rolling right

now if you cry, yeah you can cry
you can moan, you can live, alright ?
if i'm loving you, baby, why should i, why ?

now you can lie, now you can lie
you can hold your head and pine
if i'm loving now, baby, why should i pine ?

if i'm oft in the river, woman
searching for a ride and sawn apart
goodbye love, and you know thats why i lied

yeah, now listen
now it ain't right, now it ain't right
you can shake your head and cry
if i'm loving you, woman, why should i, why ?

now its why, wife, its a crime ?
you can hold your head and cry
if i'm loving my woman, why should i lie ?

thats a lie, it ain't right, now it ain't right
you can look in on her by surprise
if i'm loving you, baby, why should i pine ?
shouldnt pine

now its a lie, its a lie
its a low-down dirty lie
if i'm loving my woman, why should i lie ?
yeah

Putty In Your Hands

written by John Patton and Eddie Snyder,
original recording by the Shirelles

Mick has strayed from (and improved the flow of)
the original lyrics in places, but nothing that changes
the overall meaning

this is a key point: mick cheated and lied to maintain
his sense of self. if he had been constant, he'd have
been putty in her hands. Uh-huh.

(approx lyrics, as transcribed by frty licks/40 Licks,
and edited by me)

You say stop and I stop
You say jump and I jump
you say stay and I stay
Anything you want, you get it right away
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh

With one wave of your hand,
I'm your slave to command,
but I know youre so cruel,
everybody says, now dont you be no fool,
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh
just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh

You can build me until I'm ten feet tall
Or bring me down like a rubber ball
you can deflate me, inflame me,
but dont you replay me,
without your love, i'm nothing at all

You say stop and I stop
you say pop and I pop
You say jump and I jump
Anything you want, you got it all wrong,
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh, uh-huh
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh,

You can build me and i'm 10 feet tall,
knock me down with a 10 foot pole,
you can use me, defuse me,
but dont you refuse me,
without your love, i'm nothing, nothing at all

They say that youre so cruel
you treat me so cool,
you made me so sad,
anything you want, but dont you treat me bad,
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh
Just like putty, putty in your hands, uh-huh

(CS, thank you)

Covered In Bruises

this song is a drunken blast, the band is
just tearing it up. The first five listens,
about all i heard was chaos, but now each
instrument is clear for me. and rocking.

and its funny as hell when mick and ronnie
are singing different lyrics at the same
time, but it works. it paints a blur of
emotions, like when youve gotten yourself
in way too far way too fast

(approx lyrics, very approx)

baby i dont want your love
baby i dont want your loving love

its a fine way to find
that youve been a fool
yeah i'm freezing fighting for your love
seeking trying to find it

baby, i want/don't want your love
baby, i want/don't want your love

yeah, baby, i know, a quick set is fine
yeah i know, yeah i'm sore
baby, just one more day, because i'm about to go

yeah-ay, the two of you/you don't go blind
just far far far far eyes
then four more sore eyes/
cake cake cake take take it

baby, i don't want your love
i do i do i do i do i don't
baby, i want/dont want your love
baby, i want/dont want your love

yeah she's covered in bruises
yeah, you got me/covered in bruises
yes, she's covered in booze
she's covered in bruises

you can take me for a deep dive/
covered stand up stand up stand up
yeah, stand up covered stand up
she got me covered in booze

baby, i don't want your love
i do i do i do i do i don't
baby, i want/dont want your love
baby, i want/dont want your love

covered in bruises
covered in covered in covered in
baby, i want/don't want your love
