Lies has the drive many of the other songs except whip and Respectable don't have, imo.

Far Away Eyes. Jagger's fake country drawl is mildly idiotic.
however, with a sensational non-musical quality embodied into the song's singing, a compassion and sympathy in the refrains that are almost unsurpassable in that respect,Quote

I've always taken Mick's fake southern accent on their earlier country songs as being sort of tongue in cheek, but on Far Away Eyes he goes for straight parody I think. I've always found it a very humorous song though, so I enjoy it. And I'm not a country fan, I enjoy Wild Horses and Dead Flowers because they aren't TOO country, Far Away Eyes is over the top country though. But I've always sort of taken it as a bit of a joke.

Lies is a throwaway, the only clinker on the album. I think Claudine should have gone in that spot.

While jamming to "Some Girls" today and admiring it, there is a song on the album I'm not too keen on. For some reason "Lies" has never gotten my rocks off. It's solid and fast and rockin' but no where as good as the other fast rock tunes on the album...imho.
What is your least favorite song on this classic album??

The perfect single off a perfect album. It's different, sexy and impossible to forget, imo.

Love them all, Lies included. If I had to pick one it would be Imagination, which is good, but way better live.
