I have the official TATTOO YOU music-and-lyrics book put out by the Stones themselves, and their lyric page for Start Me Up is below, for what it's worth (which looks to not be much):




Book's ISBN: 0-89898-093-3

that's exactly the lyrics I've always read on any Stones lyrics book.
but I'm sure that Mick does not sing "...just about to blow my top"
I really hear "..you got me reeky gonna (or gotta ?) blow my top"

but why is that different ? a mistake or the publisher that decided to change that line ?

it's chicken, not reeky

The lyric is 'ticking' but he sings 'ricking' simply because 'r' flows more easily than 't' from 'you got me ...'

I have listened to the vocal track from the Exhibitionism tour...there is a double tracked lead vocal and the lyrics are sometimes different between the two vocals so that probably causes some confusion...I don't have my copy of the SMU vocal track handy but its pretty clear that there are two sets of vocals and some different lyrics

Mick can really be a headache ...
In Some Girls, although the lyrics say differently, I always seem to hear:

"Japanese" girls are so gentle, they're really such a tease ...

But many others say they hear "Chinese" girls ..
Ticking it is? Licking maybe?
Why is he giving us such a hard time?

Based on the “Exhibitionism” audio clips posted here a couple years ago — where visitors get to play around with the mix of certain tracks — the line is clearly “You got me leaking / I done blown my top.”

Also, remember the NYC actor type who won the “Exhibitionism” contest? He hears Keith in the bridge singing “Get along with the shoeshine.”

Keith never plays a song exactly the same twice. So Mick can change his words too.
