I love those mid-60'bridges. Almost like there was some kind of code thzt the Beatles instilled in everyone. Often a shift to minor key e.g.; kind of a musical aside. Like "on the other hand, between me and you...you could look at it like this too..."

"Never get around her anymore
Dont know what my friends are for
No fun sittin all alone
But I try try try on my own"

"Still you have those happy eyes
I will try and apologize baby"


Oh and we forgot a really good one:

"Every night you've been away-ay-ay
I sat down and I have prayed that you;re safe"

this bridge

first seen in charlotte

and first used in Philly

Jump out of Africa with a step that looks so bold
Ah when you're kicking high, you make my blood run cold!

The best part of the entire song!

Come On


Hey girl with your nonsense nose
All pointing right down at the floor
Hey girl your suspender shows
And the girl behind you looks a bit unsure
Miss Amanda Jones

What could possibly beat this Bridge?

I like the bridge they used for the B2B tour

"Flash of gold in your ears, child
Flash of gold in your eyes
Saw the gleam in your mouth
Saw the steel in your thighs"

I have no idea if this is right, I copied it from a lyric site. I never could understand what Mick was singing anyway, even though I wore out the grooves on the record when I bought it.

I thought it was "flashing". Otherwise it looks correct.

Great bridge anyhow

Everybody seems to forget about this one:

Remember the first time
You tried to do it to me
My girl won't fall
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Congratulations

A real smooth one...

Best part of a great song.... Love the drums on it...... Bet you cant listen to it without tapping your foot><

What a drag it is gettin' old

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love ya.

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love ya.

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love ya.

I love how it leads into Ronnie's solo (One More Shot)

An unlikely one maybe, but:

Set us up so they can shoot us down
Put us six feet underground
(That's just too deep for me baby!)

Almost every track on Steel Wheels has a genius middle-eight!

Shattered! Which is practically the same in Before They Make Me Run.

Instrumentally, anyway. And Out Of Tears has a nice bridge.

Ain't nobody slowing down no way,
Everybody's stepping on their accelerator

Ain't nobody slowing down no way
Everybody's stepping on their accelerator

I'll never forgive em for cutting "sunshine bores the daylights" out of the Live Licks release

Tie you op in the name off love

I always thought the same thing re. Shattered and BTMMR

This one comes to mind....but there are lot more ...but I have to check them out

Come now, gentleman, your love is all I crave.
You'll still be in the circus when I'm laughing, laughing on my grave.

The sax solo/instrumental break in Coming Down Again was so good that Keith lifted it for the whole of Sleep Tonight! Which also has a nice bridge...
