Although I agree with the lyrics in Sweet Neocon they're made in a shite way. The actual music (disregarding the song and lyrics) is pretty good. I like those kinds of semi-dance tracks sometimes. Highwire is better. It's a real gem and it grooves like a motherf*cker.
>>>>>>>>>>>>where's the money gone? In the Pentagon <<<<<<<<<<<<<I actually like that line...absolutely no ambiguity about Mick's thoughts on that matter..........that's refreshing when so many bands seem to like mysteriousQuote

There is some tendency in Micks lyrics to become more blunt over the years. The subtle
and sometimes obscure metaphores he used in the beginning of his songwriting carreer
(she said she liked the way I held the microphone, there will always be a space in my
parking lot, war children, it's just a shot away, love, sister, is just a kiss away to
name a few), made way over the years for a directness that might have had a purpose to
"shock and awe", but many times had the effect of simplification. "Well, my heavy throbber's itchin'
Just to lay a solid rhythm down" is miles away from the lyrics of Sparks will fly.
The same goes for the political lyrics. If you compare the lyrics of Sweet Black Angel,
to pick one of the earlier political songs, they are pure poetry compared to phrases
like "where's the money gone? In the Pentagon". One can agree or disagree with the ideology
Mick expresses in his songs, I don't care (well I do, but I better keep those cares
for myself), but the way he wrote them down is what makes a song stand out or easily
dismissed.

Sweet Neocon has some of Jaggers best lyrics in a while. Direct, simple, and to the point. It's a full circle of simple.....People complain that Jagger is too cagey and whiley and they can't get a read...here's one example where he takes the think right out of you....sometimes you just can't win.
