Hear it on an oldies station which never names the artists or songs, guess they figure their audience is old enough to know 'em all. Am sure somebody here will know. Has heavy harmonica & bluesy sound, starts with Mick singing lyrics:
Sittin', thinkin'....
other lyrics throughout are:
smokin', mopin'...
like a spider to a fly...

What's the name of song, which album is it on, what year did it come out & who played harmonica, please?

I like the 1995 stripped version of this with video of keith watching Mick speculatively and a great flourish by Charlie at the end. Age - adjusted lyrics " "nifty, thrifty looked about 50 " as opposed to " flirty and looked about thirty" ....... not sure what it would be now.... Mick has as often said he does not care for this song but I'd love to hear it again live.

About a year and a half ago there was a thread on here offering up a few suggestions: [www.iorr.org]

Mouldy flusterd she looked about a hundred?

jaundiced, blindy, she looked about 90

.... all 60's and 70's and 90's .....

liberally borrowed from Tumbling Dice

wrinkled, kindly, she looked about 90.

second version of my other one above, in case they wanted to vary it up at different shows.

happy, heavenly, she looked about seventy...
