And the springtime, take a long way around

Joe’s got a cough, sound kinda rough
Yeah, and the Codeine to fix it
Doctor prescribes drug store supplies


All my friends are junkies (that’s not really true)

Your trick with fruit was kinda cute
I’ll bet it keeps your pussy clean

Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth

as a 50 year old I now can appreciate this lyric....I caught up to understand - not that I broke any hearts though in my youth,,,,,

so many great lyrics-

slipped my tongue in someone else's pie,

she got a mind of her own and she use it well

I LOVE The Stones and they have written some clever lyrics. But no GREAT ones apart from Sympathy I don't reckon. They're not Dylan or even Springsteen in the Wordsmith department.

See signature below

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Always loved this one too


What exactly is gonna happen
When he's finally realized
That he can't play his guitar like E.G. Jim
Or write St. Augustine if he tried

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Booze and pills and powders....you gotta choose your medicine.

I wasn’t looking to good but I was feelin real well

I stoaway at sea,
You make me mutiny.
Where you are, I won't be,
You're gonna be the death of me.

Oh the gal I'm to marry
Is a bow-legged sow
I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge

"Make every song you sing your favourite tune".

Catch your dreams before they slip away

So true - every day again:


"There's no time to lose", I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind

me im just waiting so patiently lying on the floor

always took candy from strangers

- Stoned...

- I need a love to keep me happy

- Now that the love juice starts to flow, everything's turning to gold

- There've been good times, there've been bad times, I have my share of hard times too, but I lost my faith in the world honey, when I lost you

- As I stand by your flame I get burned once again

- Your my saving grace, nothing will harm you, nothing will stand in your way

- Hey, said my name is called disturbance...

- When the waters is rough, the sailing is tough, I'll get drowned in your love

- It doesn't matter if she dyes her hair, or the color of the shoes she wears, she's the worst thing in this world

- If I was a trucker, I'd drive for seven days and seven lonely nights

- I need a shot of salvation, baby, once in a while

- I sit at home looking out the window imagining the world has stopped

- To everybody in Jamaica that's working in the sun, your hot, your hot stuff

- I'm free to do what I want any old time

- See the fire is sweepin' our very street today, burns like a red coal carpet, mad bull lost its way

And the springtime, take a long way around

Yes, I love this one too

Ah, shoobie...

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire, I'm the bleeding volcano
Put your hand on the heat, put your hand on the heat
C'mon baby let's go

Forgot to add my signature line:

- Nothing to do, nowhere to go...you're talkin' to people that you don't know....

And will add:

- Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind

And there's probably dozens (maybe hundreds?) of others I could add...

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you
Sometimes I wanna keep you warm

Yeah, mama and papa told me
I was crazy to stay
I was gay in New York
Just a fag in L.A.

From Mick:

'By a pool of darkening dreams
Love is slowly twisting downstream
Underneath the tortuous trees
Out into the sad, silent seas
Lock me in your arms'

He don't give a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
He don't go in the light of the morning
He split the time the cock'rel crows

Did you see him jump the garden wall
Sighin' down the wind so sad
Listen and you'll hear him moan

Only a crowd can make you feel so alone

Bitusa2012 - there is one line I always considered Springsteen-esque and I have posted this before. In eight words you are completely transported:

“I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis.”

Surprised no one else has mentioned it, certainly it’s my favorite line.
