Is this a song about burglary or babies?

Yeah, sure Drewmaster. He is Keith Richards. Everything he touches becomes a stroke of geniality. Not?

Dang, Drewmaster - what a beautifully well-written description!
I've always assumed the song was about liberating Anita from Brian.

Thanks Plink! It's a safe bet that Anita played a role in this one ...

Hm well ... Great lyrics aren't usually about just one person/situation, but this one
was widely said to refer to a particular situation with Patti; and then in Life
Keith said it was about a very early girlfriend, way before any Stones crossed paths with Anita.

i don't think I've ever managed to get all the way through this track. Long, meandering, but with no hooks to keep you. Isn't there yet another long keith mumble-ballad right after this on BtB?
