Can anyone tell me why in the hell this song is called, ''Turd on the Run''?? This title both makes me laugh hysterically and confuses me. Elaborate please on what this means man.

TURD ON THE RUN
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Grabbed hold of your coat tail but it come off in my hand,
I reached for your lapel but it weren't sewn on so grand.
Begged, promised anything if only you would stay,
Well, I lost a lot of love over you.
Fell down to my knees and I hung onto your pants,
But you just kept on runnin' while they ripped off in my hands.
Di'mond rings, vaseline, you give me disease,
Well, I lost a lot of lover over you.
I boogied in the ballroom, I boogied in the dark;
Tie you hands, tie you feet, throw you to the sharks.
Make you sweat, make you scream, make you wish you'd never been,
I lost a lot of love over you.

hi,
its about a thematic jungle disease.. real nice...ha!

tropical disease was exile's work name

Same ol' stuff: A girlfriend. Funny though

he loved the girl
she didn't love him (or maybe one time 'cause she gave him sexual disease)
so she went away
so he called her "turd" or "bitch" if you prefer

Always loved this one, & it fits w/the themes of the album - when I first heard it thought for sure MJ was singing 'just another turd on [for] you'

Thanks, y'all!!

vaseline, you give me disease........Dirty Girl

One of the few examples of Charlie's brush playing within the Stones. Great groove, I'd love to hear him play this one live. Doesn't the song start on the "wrong" beat, like Little Queenie on Ya Ya's?

More than likely it was just "Untitled Track #13", or something, and they had to give it a name. I've done that w/songs I've written. The original title for "Something" by George Harrison was something like Granny Apple...

"Sticky Fingers" was the orig. title for "Let It Bleed".

"The wonder of Jimi Hendrix was that he could stand up at all he was so pumped full of drugs." Patsy, Patsy Stone
