START ME UP
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
Well, it's certainly not ticking - any ideas?
Cheers
That's what I thought too...Quote

Ticking like a time bomb makes sense.

LEAKING sounds right to me -
Also the ticking of a clock on a bomb with a timer - old fashioned non digital of courseQuote

Ticking would make sense. One of the tale tale signs of an engine getting ready to blow is when the rods start ticking or knocking. I know cause it has happened to me. As soon as I heard the dreaded ticking, I knew it wouldn't be long.

I did hear Mick talking about the obscurity of some of the lyrics on Exile, he said that he sometimes deliberately sang the words so they were hard to interpret so that people would have to listen over and over again to try and decipher things

I think Mick is making reference—an "inside" nod—to this lyric in ROUGH JUSTICE when he sings "One time you were my baby chicken/Now you've grown into a fox."

Phonetically -- I hear
"You got me reeky - gotta blow my top"
or
"You got me reeky - god, I'll blow my top"

In that official video it sounds like "You got me licked." I've heard there is a girl's name hidden in the song at least twice. Linda, shortened to Lin.
His mouth looks like he's singing "Lin". And later "the gaso-leen..."
