Lyrically, what is your favorite line from a Stones tune? I know,there are a great many...but one that recurs in your thinking, or a lyric flavor that you really like..
for me it's:

'I want to shout but I can't hardly speak'

love it, and feel that way half the time

"Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?" - 100 Years Ago

These came first to mind... don't know why. It's not just about the words... it's the way Jagger says them.

"Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face,
hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste"

"You can go back to a poor man, you can't be satisfied"

"Now I ain't lookin' for no pretty face"

the sunshine bores the daylights out of me
I am just living to be lying by your side

I mean, how poetrical can two genius junkies get? ;-)

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.

Angels beating all their wings in time.

I met a gin soaked bar room queen in Memphis.

Your Mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax and your fathers still perfecting ways of making sealing wax.

I, Want You Back, Again!

"She was dying to survive"

"One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile"

The storm is threatening my very life today . If I don't get some shelter oh I'm gonna fade away . You've got to roll me call me the tumblig dice I heard about your polaroids , thats what I call obscene , your tricks with fruit , is kinda cute , i bet you keep your pussy clean .

Never in my sweet short life have I felt like this before
It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door

thanks, Amused!

"Get in the tub and get your hood"

"Make every song you sing your favorite tune"

"You know I can't let you slide through my hands."

Shes my litle rock n roll

Just no place for a street fighting man

I know youre fine,Iknow youre right - Im Goin Down.

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me


And here I thought it was Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan who killed them.

Learn something new every day.

"when the shit hits the fan, I'll be sitting in the can"

First the sun, and then the moon.........
One of them will be round soon

Making bets on Kentucky derby day.

1.She don't have to watch her step, she don't need to be located, I guarantee her personal security

2. A bell's gonna ring, hear the alarm, better tell the firechief to quit playin' cards

3. The doctor says, you be okay, now if you'd only stay away, from femme fatales, dirty bitc**s, daylight drabs and nightime witches, and workin' girls & blue stockings, dance hall babes and body poppers and waitresses with etc etc......

You're a rag trade girl, You're the queen of porn, You're the easiest lay on the white house lawn!!

I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs.

ah, just cruising thru this thread, what a fantastic bunch of songs. Tops.

I was so pleased to be informed of this I ran 20 red lights in his honour.

Their's a tramp sitting on my doorstep

Ying Yang, you're ma thang -

I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made

I'm all sixes, sevens and nines

You've got to scrape the shit right off your shoe

Brilliant thread, could go on forever! (that's not a lyric!)

Too bad, she's got you by the balls.

Girls will come and go, they're just like streetcars.

She's got a mind of her own and she use it well.

Throw it all at me, I'll just shrug it off.

Hot stuff, can't get enough




Too many more to name

........dressed in their summer clothes

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming

Just seemed too many flies on you, I just can't brush them off.

When you call my name I salivate like a Pavlov dog

Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around ya lord I'm crying

I just can't pour my heart out To another living thing




Ok, I have to stop

But what can a poor boy do?

Loose your dreams and you will loose your mind.

Some girls give me children, I never asked them for.

I'm a flea-bit monkey, all my friends are junkies

As for the line from "Rocks Off," I always thought the line was, "The sunshine froze the daylights out of me." Clearly, that's not the case, but I always felt "froze" made it a better line.
