If it was Specific Girls it would surely be personal.

As mentioned, he often sings from a character's perspective, but New Faces always struck me as a very vulnerable song. It's about losing someone to another guy, but I think it's the only song where ageing is referenced - the guys is "the figure of youth". Very different song for the Stones from any perspective.

The thread going about the way I thought it would. People mentioning songs with no evidence at all that the lyrics were personal. Jagger had said he usual writes in third person. One song where he said the lyrics were personal was Moonlight Mile. The best answer so far.

I agree with exhpart about 'Brand New Set of Rules'. It sounded to me at the time like Mick addressing the end of married life with Jerry Hall and how their relationship would change in the future. I might be wrong...
I would have enjoyed a super-bitchy song about Rupert Murdoch but I don't suppose he'll write that one.
