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

You left me twisting in the wind
Dangling the knife (dangling in the night)
You'll be Mr. Christian
And I'll be Captain Blye
You left the gym with your face all shining (Look at you with your face all shining)
Got some new work and some realigning
I got a sneaking feeling (sinking)
You and your wheeling dealing
My whole world is crashing
I took a violent thrashing
Suffered a total trashing (yours make more sense, but I hear this as "something to throw the trash in")
I'm in the garbage dump
You're living in the penthouse (... living in "a" penthouse, not "the")
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
I got that sinking feeling
Whose potatoes are you peeling?
Can't you hear my poor heart's squealing?
I'm in the garbage dump
You're lying in the sunshine
I'm waving in the crowd (not sure WTF he's saying, but it sounds like clouds)
You're basking in the spotlight
I'm lost in the clouds (this one sounds like crowds)

Thanks Cindy, and thanks for your input, some of which I've now incorporated
above. Not that we'll ever reach closure on this, because Mick for example
is perfectly capable of writing "You'll be the Christian, I'll be the captive
lion" and then on the spur of moment singing instead "You'll be Mr.
Christian, I'll be Captain Blye", either of which works just fine within
the context of the song...
I don't know about anybody else, but personally, working to get the words
actually takes me much deeper into the music, and makes the music play
in my memory that much clearer. Just like with the original Exile
way back when...
Also, and again its probably just me, now that we've got most of the words
to the new songs, the bonus disk is kinda like what some wag wrote last
week, "Exile on Wall Street", in that the images of romantic suffering
and economic suffering are interwoven in almost every one of the new
songs.
