I've got the "Ron Woo first album" version.
Could someone post the Rolling Stones version in concert ?
If it does exist.

Another question about the lyrics that I sent Keno's site
Somebody can figure out the question marks ?
Deuce ? With sssoul?

Thanks in advance

SURE THE ONE YOU NEED
(Jagger/Richards)

She may not be the one you're thinkin' of
But she is still the only one you really love
Yes I see her every day
Trying to score an easy lay
She's sure the one you need, she's sure the one you need
Who tries to know what it is you want

The radio you need a rocking band ???
Well you may be the leader of the band
And even you must sometimes need an helping hand
Yes I've seen her too many times
???? having fun and wanna die
She's sure the one you need, she's sure the one you need
Who tries to know what it is you want
She'll lay it all on you

You may think that you know where it's at
But I have seen her wearing her top hat
If you come home through that door
You won't see her anymore
She's sure the one you need, she's sure the one you need
She tries to know what it is you want

She's sure the one you need
She's sure the one you need, yeah

actually more than the question marks seems not-quite-right to me,
but i'm listening to ABB right now, so i'll try later to decipher what i hear.
i don't have the Stones' concert version, but i know there is a recording of it from at least one of the two times they played it in 75 ...

okay, here's how i hear it:

She may not be the one you're thinking of
But she is still the only one you really love
Yes I see you every day
Trying to score an easy lay
Sure the one you need, she's sure the one you need
Tries to know what it is you want

Well maybe you're the leader of the band
But even you must sometimes need a helping hand
Yeah I have seen you too many times
[??? this line is a mystery, sorry!]
Sure the one you need, she's sure the one you need
She tries to know what it is you want

You may think that you know where it's at
But I have seen you wearing her top hat
If you come home through that door
You won't see her anymore
She's sure the one you need, she's sure the one you need
She tries to know what it is you want

Sure the one you need
She's sure the one you need

Wine me dine me throw me a dime



ROCKMAN

nice listening there, Rockman honey!
that line now sounds to me like
"wine me dine me from their dime" -
which isn't especially normal English, but hey: we know the feeling! :E


"What do you want - what?!"

From ‘I’m Working So Hard’ bootleg - Milwaukee 8th June 1975
I think I originally downloaded this file from Ulf's site on 19th Aug 2003.
Quite a low bit-rate (64kbps) but sounds ok - here is 'Sure The One You Need'

[s59.yousendit.com]

"Yeah I have seen you too many times
Robbing a blind man from a dime
Sure the one you need, she's sure the one you need"

wow nice - thank you Rumple21!
and Mack J, that's a cool interpretation too.
i still hear "from *their* dime", but it's cool either way. :E

Maybe "Robbing blind men from their dime"

yeah, that's what i'm now thinking too, Dandelion Powderman.
"robbing blind men from their dime" isn't the easiest fit with the meter,
and it's nonstandard English, but it'll do, it'll do!

i read somewhere that Mick wasn't at all happy that Keith gave this one to Ronnie.
i've always dug the Ron Wood & Band renditions, and the Barbarians' of course,
so it's great to finally hear it in the Stones' fine hands.
thanks again, Rumple21.

News Bulletin: i sent our joint effort at deciphering the lyrics to Keno and s/he said s/he's going to post it in place of what s/he's got now.
he doesn't seem to give credit for who did the deciphering, but we will all know it's *us* makin the world a more beautiful place through Right Lyrics. :E
Keno said: "you seem to know what you're talking about" - and that means all of us.
have some congratulatory popcorn. :E
