The Rolling Stones Album

(Jagger/Richards)

Walking down the street with a sad face
Always complaining about the rat race
Nobody said that life was free and easy

Your job it sucks, it's on the line
Your wife act mean, your kids all cring
I need something that's guaranteed to please me

But listen, I'll tell you

I'm glad to be alive and kicking
I'm glad to hear my heart's still ticking
So pass me the wine, baby, and let's make some love

Sometimes things don't work out the way you want
I don't know if I'm gonna laugh or cry

Your friends will never call you back
You're feeling such a sad sack
Like some snack that's gone all cold and greasy, yes

The car you drive a rusty wreck
It's always you that pays the check
Who said life was warm and peachy?

But listen, yeah, I'll tell you
I'm glad to be alive and kicking
My blood is up, my pulse is quickening
Pass the wine bowl but let's make some love

Sometimes things don't work out the way you want
I wonder why, I wonder why - ah yeah
Sometimes mistakes come back to haunt you, babe
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry, yeah

Yeah, come on
Got to be alive and kicking
Glad to be alive and kicking
Glad to have a pot to piss in
Glad to be alive and kicking

You got to be alive and kicking
Got to be... come on...come on....

Got to be alive and kicking
Got to be alive and kicking
Glad to see the plot is thickening
Pass the wine, let's make some love
Let's make some love
Let's make some love
Let's make some love

Can you believe it,
I've won no medals
In this love game.
I've been resting on my laurels,
I'm a bad loser,
I'm a yard off my pace.

I smell rubber
And I soon discover
That you're gone for good.
My indiscretions
Made a bad impression,
Guess I was misunderstood.

I thought you needed my lovin',
But it's my heart that you stole.
I thought you wanted my money,
But you plundered my soul.
(Plundered my soul)

I started askin' around,
But your friends'
Pretty lips were sealed.
I wrote a letter
Full of trite confessions
About wounds that heal.

I heard some gossip,
You'd become an alcoholic,
You were dryin' out.
So I phoned every clinic
In the Yellow Pages,
Not a trace I found.

I thought you needed my lovin',
But it's my heart that you stole.
I thought you wanted my money,
But you plundered my soul.
(Plundered my soul)

I hate quittin',
But I'm close to admittin'
I'm a sorry case.
But on quiet reflection,
My sad rejection's
Not a total disgrace.

But I do miss your quick repartee
And the smile
That lights up your face.
You'll be a hard act to follow,
A bitter pill to swallow,
You'll be tough, you'll be tough to replace.

I thought you wanted my lovin',
But it's my heart that you stole.
You were a trick up my sleeve,
My ace in the hole.
I thought you wanted my money,
But you plundered my soul.

Oh, plundered my soul
Oh yeah (plundered my soul)
You plundered my soul
Yeah, yeah (plundered my soul)
Oh, yes, yes, yes you, baby
(Plundered my soul)

(Jagger/Richards)

When I'm looking out my window baby
And I'm standing by my door
Have you ever had the feeling baby
That you've been here before

When you're riding motorcycle baby
In your graveyard world
Have you ever had the feeling baby
That you've been here before

Honey I've been lying
Honey I've been jiving
Honey I've been signifying
Whoa, whoa, whoa

When you're lyring on the ceiling baby
And I'm gazing on your floor
Have you ever had the feeling baby
That you've been here before

Honey I've been lying
Honey I've been jiving
And I ain't signifying
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

(Jagger/Richards)

There's something I should tell you
Why don't you sit there in that chair
You're looking good today
I love the way your comb's tucked in your hair

My cards are on the table, but the drinks have all run out
There's been some other lads in this room with me, we're really quite a crowd
It's hard to break it gently, but I really thought it through
I don't think there's much future left, for me and you, me and you

I've been following the river, til it joins hands with the sea.
I've been thinking of you so bad
Cause you always saw the best in me

You'll probably forget me, and I'll fade back in the bar
Just a face disappearing without trace, I'll be lost, I'll be lost

One day I'll hear some laughter in a out-of-town cafe
I'll be reaching for your number - I'll be calling out your name, calling out your name

I've been following that river, gonna join hands with the sea
I've been thinking of ya all the time
Cause you always brought the best in me
I'll be following the river - oh my! Till it spills out in the sea

When I first think about ya, oh dear
Cause you always brought the best in me (always brought the best in me)
I'll be following the river (yeah!)
Gonna join hands with the sea

Ah, if I can't have ya, I'll be dreaming all about ya
Cause you always brought the best in me
I'll be following the river, gonna join hands with the sea

I'll be thinking about ya, cause you always brought the best in me

(Jagger/Richards)

I'm sitting in the darkness, you're dancing in the light
You really hit the big time, I really took a dive
I'm running in the rain, you're dancing in the light
I'm waiting for the train, that never will arrive

You left me twisting in the wind, dangling in the night
You'll be Mr. Christian and I'll be Captain Bligh
Look at you with your face all shining, got some new work and some realigning
Now that your nose got some redefining, you look like a million bucks

I got a sinking feeling, you and your wheeling dealing
I'm going to hit the ceiling, bang the ground with a bump

My whole world is crashing, I took a violent thrashing
Something to thrown the trash in, I'm in the garbage dump

What'd I ever do? You treat me so bad
You're living in a penthouse, my flat is dark and damp
Yeah, what's the matter, baby? We used to be so tight
I'm living in the gloom, while you're dancing in the light

Yeah, I got that sinking feeling, whose potatoes are you peeling?
Can't you hear my poor heart squealing? I'm in the garbage dump

Yeah, ah what' s happening?
Yeah

You're lying in the sunshine, I'm hanging in a cloud
You're basking in the spotlight, I'm lost in the crowds, yes

What am I gonna do about you?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do about you?
What am I gonna do?

I don't have a clue without you
What am I gonna do?
I'm in a dark place, baby
I've got to, I've got to wear a grim face, baby

You've got me with the heartaches, yeah
Get me out of the dark place
What am I gonna do without you? What am I gonna do?

If I was your new boyfriend, I would have stage fright
While you're riding in a limo, I'm wheeling my bike, yeah

What am I gonna do without you?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do without you?
What am I gonna do?

Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Dancing in the light, Oh!
Yeah, oh yeah!....

(Jagger/Richards)

You think you've got me in your chains
Control me with your devious pain

You think your love is so divine
You pour it out like it was heaven-scented wine
You think your love is all I crave
Well I've got better things to do than be your slave

When you first asked me, I heard those violins
You quickly pulled the pin, you had no hesitation

There is a rose that bears your name
The bloom's short-lived, it's such a shame

You think your love is so divine
You think I'll drink it like it's heaven-scented wine
You think your love is all I crave
You say I'll worship you till I'm in my grave

So when love passed the ball, you play winner takes it all
Act like it's a carnival, some mad configuration
I'm like a two-way street, you live to lie and cheat
I'm voting with my feet, who needs this aggravation

I'm headed for the door, never see you anymore
I'll be on some distant shore, way out of circulation
No tears will pass my eye, no memory will make me cry
So long, adios, goodbye, I'm off your reservation

Ah yeah!

You think your love is so divine
Think you're the saviour of mankind
You say your love is like love potion number nine

You say your love is all I crave, and I'm the dog that's had its day
So sad to rain on your parade
But I've got better things to do than be your slave

Rolling Stones - Loving Cup

I'm the man on the mountain, come on up.
I'm the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud.
Yes, I'm fumbling and I know my car don't start.
Yes, I'm stumbling and I know I play a bad guitar.
Give me little drink from your loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.
I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun.
I'm the man that brings you roses when you ain't got none.
Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won't fight
You if you want to push and pull with me all night.
Give me little drink from you loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.
I feel so humble with you tonight,
Just sitting in front of the fire.
See your face dancing in the flame,
Feel your mouth kissing me again,
What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz,
What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.
Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.
Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn,
But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn.
Give me little drink from you loving cup.
Just one drink and I'll fall down drunk.

Rolling Stones - Soul Surviver

When the waters is rough
The sailing is tough,
I'll get drowned in your love.
You've got a cut throat crew,
I'm gonna sink under you,
I got the bell bottom blues,
It's gonna be the death of me.
It's the graveyard watch,
Running right on the rocks,
I've taken all of the knocks.
You ain't giving me no quarter.
I'd rather drink sea water,
I wish I'd never had brought you,
It's gonna be the death of me.
Soul survivor, soul survivor.
Soul survivor, soul survivor.
Soul survivor, soul survivor.
Soul survivor, soul survivor,
Gonna be the death of me,
It's gonna be the death of me.
When you're flying your flags
All my confidence sags,
You got me packing my bags.
I'll stowaway at sea,
You make me mutiny,
Where you are I won't be,
You're gonna be the death of me.

(Jagger/Richards)

Oh, you got me waitin' on a big-boat line
Yes, it's down a bumpy road
I said now, now honey, you don't need money
And you know you got it easy at home.
Yeah we're gonna get down to boat-line
We're gonna steamboat and a rail alright
I said now, now honey, get down honey
Good time women don't keep you waiting around.
Uh-huh

Yeah we could land in New York City
With whiskey an' mighty fine
Now, I brought downers and a bouquet
And a bottle of dry, white wine.
Yes you got me dizzy, yes you got me silly
And you know you gonna die with your wife
Baby, baby, red light woman
They don't leave you a - .....

Yeah!
I love my woman!

Yeah you got me waiting on a big boat-line
Yeah you're gonna feel alright.

Yeah you got me silly, and you got me filthy
Go down, gas up your wife

The red light women, sure like to party
The red light woman, please don't party all night

Yes, they like your party all night
Yes, they like your party all night
Yes, they like your party all night
They like your party all night
Night Night Night Night......!
