yeah, well, at least the new words on "Lie" are kinda fun...

(approx)

people say they saw me in africa
out in the bush shooting lions
flew em up nigeria
posted the heads online

and i heard that you got a new baby
with an old friend of mine
he's in the Impiana, he's a billionaire
you've been totally re-designed

well its a lie, its a lie
its a low-down (dirty, vicious, despicable) lie
don't make me laugh, don't make me cry

all summer long i've been in italy
tippling down the wine
on the run with a different duchess every night

but my only lover came from antiquity
found her on a building site
she's got no head, she's cut from marble so white

its a lie, its a lie
i'll be questioned by the FBI
i gotta be chic, i'm holding my head, holding it high

i just heard i'm getting married
round about the fourth of july
honeymoon in hawaii, put it in your diary
don't forget your black tie

well its a lie, its a lie
i swear it on my mother's life
my conscience is clear, i got nothing to hide

i stole an election, took it to a fence
tried to get the highest price
the whole thing is passe, put it on ebay
shouldve took my lawyer's advice

(thanks, Gazza, for the corrections)

That opening line in the last verse is definitely different but I cant quite decipher it

Interesting seeing the number of streams each of the 11 Tattoo You songs have received on spotify. You could have predicted the top two (although the number of plays for SMU is eye watering) but the third most popular is a bit of a surprise.

Start Me Up - 367,306,523
WOAF - 31,577,189
Heaven - 21,537,601
T & A - 4,896,504
Hang Fire - 4,869,082
Slave - 4,532,300
Tops - 3,881,874
Worried about You - 3,171,848
No Use In Crying - 3,019,531
Black Limousine - 2,253,590
Neighbours - 2,025,977

(the most streamed Rolling Stones song is (surprisingly) 'Paint It Black' with 636,549,256 plays, almost 200 million ahead of 'Satisfaction')

Of the new songs from the 'Lost & Found' disc, both 'Troubles a comin' and 'Livin' in the heart of love' have already over a million streams, however both have been available for a few weeks now. None of the others have passed 11,000 yet apart from 'Come to the Ball' which is already on almost 165,000 streams

(my edit of a transcription by ChrisM42 at iorr dot org.
even though these are quite different from the "fully finished" lyrics,
i believe these words still tend to support my idea that Ronnie is Fiji Jim)

I’m gonna call up Fiji Jim
Tell him to get on the plane
Tell him to bring his electric guitar
Tell him to get on the stage

Been a hell of week, hell of a month
Been the strangest year
It’s all gone by in the blink of a eye
There ain’t no time for tears

Yeah, one last chance, one last dance
I got ice in my veins
One last chance, one last gasp
We’re gonna drive the crowd insane

We all call on Fiji Jim
Call on Steve and Dwayne
Tell him to get on bass, we're gonna bust this place
or else go down in flames

All revved up, four cases of wine
Snort an ounce of Cocaine
Got a keg of beer, bring it over here
A six pack more of champagne

Yeah, one last chance, one last gasp
We got skin in the game
One last chance, one last dance
Gonna drive the crowd insane

Yeah, the drums that snap, like a thunder clap
The bass drum mash on the floor
The guitar scream in a feedback dream
Like you never heard before

Play superstition, lots of ammunition
We’re out of cigarettes
There's no intermission, no air condition
Our cloths are soaking wet

We gonna call on Fiji Jim
Tell him to get on a plane
Tell him to bring his wah-wah pedal
Drive the crowd insane

Well, he bust two ribs and he bruised his limbs
And took some pills for the pain
He got shaky legs, and his nose it bled
But man he sure could play

I could see you in Foyer Grove
Trying so hard to impress
You took off your dress, and I’m way out of breath
Carry me off this stage

I'm not dialed into new TV shows and movies, but I wonder if Heaven was used in one of them because it is an odd one. Even so called fans don't always know it.

I don't believe it was. Somewhat baffling. I think its a lovely, haunting track but if you'd asked me how it would have ranked in the list of songs streamed from that album I would have bet good money on it being dead last. Unlike the two above it, its never appeared on a compilation and it's one of only two songs on the album ('No Use In Crying' being the other) which has never been played live.

1) i know "heaven" has quite a following on youtube. for example, comparing the views for
2018 re-masters on "the rolling stones" official channel: Heaven 646K, Hang Fire 389K,
No Use in Crying 493K. Also: there are two private individuals who put up the audio
9 years ago and have a total of more than 2 million views/listens. And more than
just listens, when i read the comments, i was stunned that there are people who
regard it as their favorite stones track, or favorite track period

2) its one of my favorites too. and, surprise surprise, i have a theory about the song.
substitute the word "heroin" as the title and voila, the feel of the music and the dreaminess
of the lyrics work PERFECTLY. that is what the song is about, specifically about mid-term
addiction, when the drug does not energize you anymore, like a "silver train", but you've
not yet fallen "down in the hole". you just kinda bliss out, maybe nod out, all your drive
evaporated along with your pain

I still think it is hilarious that TATTOO YOU, essentially, an album that is a collection of outtakes from ~1974-1980, is getting reissued with additional outtakes that didn't even make to the first cut of outtakes...a collection of outtakes with the addition of outtakes of outtakes.

Yeah, the concept is ludicrous. Whatever songs get included, I doubt many (if any) were amongst those under consideration in spring 1981.

Not even anything from the 80's at all, LOL.

Just from my own research and notes I had from the FFSO thread:

Side C

Living In The Heart Of Love - 1974
Fiji Jim - 1978
Troubles A’ Comin - 1972
Shame Shame Shame - 1975 or 1978
DriftAway - 1974

Side D

It’s A Lie - 1978
Come To The Ball - ???
Fast Talking Slow Walking - 1972
Start Me Up (Early Version) - 1975ish

any update on when come to the ball was originally worked on?
