You mean his keyboard work at the end? I believe this is another track where Keith is on bass. Keith was doing that a lot at that time, as with Street Fighting Man and Sympathy For The Devil.
It's unlikley to be Bill on Hammond organ, more liklely the reed organ heard for a 10 seconds or so.
Yes, that's what I was referring two, that bit of organ riffing as the song plays out to fade.
It say's Bill plays organ in his books, but not which organ. Given the quite musical parts from the hammond, quite hopkins-esque really, the only organ left is what is most likley a reed organ heard for about 10 seconds, it sounds like horns or a harmonica blasting out 1 chord.
Maybe it's something buried in the mix, but the obvious hammond organ sounds too much like Nicky imo.
I could be wrong of course and Bill simply got really inspired.
It should be obvious that the GOMC lyrics Deltics posted are completely wrong, and that he posted them because they're funny. These are the actual lyrics:
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy whos all dressed up like a union jack
And says, Ive won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud, baby
The telephone is ringing
I say, hi, it's me. who is it there on the line?
A voice says, hi, hello, how are you
Well, I guess Im doin fine
He says, it's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don't hang around, baby, twos a crowd
These, on the other hand, appear to be from a really bad karaoke show:

Not poor, but with working ears.
There has to be plenty of songs out there where someone says "One two". There Stones songs, on bootleg, when Mick says "one two" but also other things. Hell, there is Sway.
Otherwise... watch it.
Hey - watch it. That kind of attitude 'round here bears... watching.
A brilliant find. A new dimension of the song unfolds.
Talk about your favorite band.

I don't think Britishness is a factor here, really. I've just listened to it five times consecutively, though, and nothing will ever change my mind.

Where's the "Don't hang around, 'cause two's a crowd" in those GOMC lyrics? Or did I imagine that?
I also always thought Mick said "this," not "it," as in "Watch this" or possibly even "What's this" at the start of JJF.
Wasn't there an old rumor that Mick bit part of his tongue off when his dad made him do pull-ups, and that's why he has such bad enunciation?

In that case, Keith was in good form. Whoever's on bass was in good form.

It's definitely watch it, without a shadow of a doubt. You can even hear the "t" at the end of "it." He also sang "watch it" at the beginning of many of the 69 live versions. It's always been "watch it."

And in the middle of "sympathy for the devil"
What does he say after these lines
"Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
...?..."
Is it
"I tell you one time, you're to blame" ?
that has no sense at all

Ha, I thought is was "Watch This!". With the this slurred. After a headphone listen. I'd say "Watch It!".

Watch it.
My first attempt at deciphering Mick's lyrics was when we played the "Satisfaction" 45 at 33 to try to figure out if he really sang "I'm trying to make some girl pregnant".
