"Stray cat blues" is better.

"Sister Morphine" is more interesting than really good. Too whiny in my opinion. Too much Faithfull and Cooder in that track to be a "real" Stones song. Though, as said, interesting. Btw, it was this track which was replaced on the Spanish edition of STICKY FINGERS (alas replaced by the live version of "Let it rock" in stereo).

cousin cocaine wins.

Stray Cat Blues. I love SM too, I think I've just overplayed it lately though.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

"Sister Morphine" is more interesting than really good. Too whiny in my opinion. (FUC)
Well, here´s a man that has been out there.

Morphinists resp. heroin addicts are all whiny, that's a fact.

...Yeah, you would know, wont you?
Havent been there myself but rather deep into
Shit Creek, where I was born & raised.
If you´re born with a silver spoon you
wont understand that needle and the spoon-thing.
So alcos are all whining too?
Why dont you focus on something else, Cn.;
you start sounding like my wife -
Hell, you cant understand a man till
tou have walked a mile in his shoes.
So, you´re not an addict nature - good for you!

What about the content in SCB? Who wanna hear a 62 y o
dirty b-/Jagger sing about a underaged girl?

Morphine for me please

I've got my youngest brother being a heroin addict (meanwhile on methadone) and my oldest being an alcoholic. So don't tell me I don't know. Noone will ever walk in someone elses shoes anyway. But I don't believe in such a thing as the "addict nature". Addicts are people who think the world owes them something. They want more than there is. The thing they really want is love. More love than there is. Since they can't face reality they're starting to take drugs. Other guys flee into religion or food. It's all the same, I guess.

Maybe you´ve been too close.
Distance may also be helpful: and I dont know how or of one can
rank "best friends" or "brothers" as being the best or most useful
experience. Thing is, I have the sh*t in me.
And many many of my former friends are gone. I lived in a suicide centre
of the Suicide Belt for many years. Place is called Sundsvall.
'Addict nature' is just the layman´s attempt to express there are certain
genes among most of the addict people that most others dont have.
We have a difficulty in this chat (maybe time to end it,
or move it to a new thread or in pm:s) to talk on the same wavelength.
You speak about whining & I about the subjective experience of wanting,
needing, musting have something 'I cant be satisfied'...
Probably we mean the same thing.
Well; I think I know what you mean... My friend the drinker
(have lots, but the closest of them). He drinks & drinks for weeks,
and sinks in the deepest of depressions. Finally he pisses himself,
would just lie in bed, drinkin, pissin. That I cannot understand either.
I´m more like black or white. Go to the Other Side. Or just don´t.

Stray Cat Blues, easily

Brutal matchup !!!!! Both are Top 25 songs in my books.

Sister Morphine...listen to when that beat picks up...the drumming, the guitars moanfully wailing. The best song about drug addiction ever....by anyone.

Another Good One Stray Cat Blues for me. Love Sister Morphine too. SCB Wins for the MEZ James

Cat, cat, cat!

i voted for Stray Cat earlier...but i gotta say that the slide geetar in Morphine is beautifully creepy (kinda like Robert Johnson's devil blues) really creates a wicked atmosphere on that tune

Both great songs again... ones I often find myself playing on guitar. But I can't vote confidently for "SM" b/c of all the Marianne/Cooder baggage. "Stray Cat Blues"!

Stray Cat Blues but,this is like comparing apples to pineapples.

Sister morphine

Stray Cat Blues, though Sister morphine is a great song too...

Stray Cat Blues for me. I like Sister Morphine but I find SCB really funky, even before funk itself became funky. lol

Stray Cat Blues

Stray Cat walked away from Sister Morphine bloodied but not broken.

Now the cat's on to the next competitor . . . Parachute Woman

Will she burn one of her 9 lives?

So, . . . Stray Cat Blues? or Parachute Woman

Stray Cat wins...the 'chute wouldn't open.............Camper88, this thread is a gas!

Stray Cat Blues--no contest.

This time it's not so difficult, right?
