Everything is GREAT about this song, and especially the lyrics...First Stones-tune that had Dylan-class in lyrics I thought back in 1968....but as ususal, that's me being Swedish-spoken...

René is correct. Brian is playing a Mellotron mk.II set to "flutes". He use the pitch control to get those whining sliding sounds you hear starting at 1.53.Quote

Are we very sure about Brians role on this tune as stated in René's
post?

Me too. Until I heard that Keith-interview in the In The Studio-series
(subject: Beggars Banquet) where he states that the track was already
finished when he entered the studio and all he could do was adding his
guitar.

Great tune.

I've read it is a cigarette, explaining why he's a walking 'clothesline' because he doesn't eat.
Anyone have anything definitive?

but the slide was done live with the bass, piano and drums. The acoustic is an overdub.

It wasn't finished, because he played the acoustic guitar, with Nicky, Bill and Charlie. By the way, the sessions included in Satanic Sessions are amazing. Nicky at his best, lots of takes and he never played the same licks two times! What a player.

didn't we just have a convo about this tune? i'll be damned if i'll repeat myself or say the same things over and over again or reiterate what i've said previously or echo thoughts i've shared or in any way be duplicative of prior insights i've given.
