How about 30secQuote

I still think “she combs her hair” is a very weak lyric in a great song.
5 more minutes work would have helped.

"I love you" is a lyric you're quite unlikely to find in a Stones song.
(Yes, I know there's Had It With You, but that's hardly classic moon-in-June stuff).

Omitting "get out, kid" is sacrilege

The only honest response I could give...
"The Worst"
Well I said from the first
I am the worst kind of guy
For you to be around
Tear me apart
Including this old heart
That is true
And never ever let you down
You shouldn't stick with me
You trust me too much, you see
Take all the pain
It's yours anyway
Yeah kid...
Oh, put the blame on me
You ought to pass, you see
Somewhere outside
I threw love aside
Now it's a tragedy
I said from the first
I am the worst kind of guy
For you to be around

I was just having fun with THE WORST LYRICS when that was the thread title.

A (possibly) overlooked gem of a song ... Casino Boogie
Haven't really seen much in the way of discussions/comments about this song on IORR over the years (decades) ...

Generally true, but I'm hoping that Mick will read this thread, acknowledge the error of his ways by having written the lyrics to Rough Justice, not do anything remotely like it ever again, apologise, and perhaps also send me a Christmas card !?

Here's 7 pages' worth of discussion:

I discovered this album later than most. My older sister who was a fan, never owned it and had the impression it was awful so I avoided it for a long time (plus it was more expensive). Then I got it and discovered all these amazing songs. My love of this album has never ceased over the next 30 years. It continually vies with LET IT BLEED as my favorite album.

Thanks for the link to the discussion thread on Casino Boogie, I've just read it all the way through. I'm not the only one then ... that thinks this is an absolute peach of a song !

Besides the good, the bad, the ugly, there sometimes (not often in the case of the Stones) there is the category of the "incomprehensible".
For me, that one applies to "All Down The Line". I like the lyrics, I like the song, but what is it about really?

A lonely person who wants to go all the way to fulfill his needs?

Which kind of gets me back to the original point in the first post ... what were they thinking when out came that opening verse to Rough Justice ? Had Mick just awoken from some dream in which he is sh***ing yet another supermodel, looked out the bedroom window, and saw a free range chicken on his garden lawn and some mean old crafty fox stalking it ? I mean really ...... ?
