Too many to choose from, but one that immediately comes to mind is "never got a flash out of cocktail, when I get some flesh off the bone; never got a lift out of Lear jet, when I can fly way back home."

Good one!
Happy was great in Philly the other night.

From "Far Away Eyes":

And the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side,
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran twenty red lights in his honor.....

Ride like the wind at double speed.....

Yes, I'm fumbling, and I know my car don't start
Yes, I'm stumbling, and I know I play a bad guitar

I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement
When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea
But you knifed me in my dirty filthy basement
With that jaded, faded, junky nurse
Oh what pleasant company

The End of Faith:

When you realise
That God don't exist
But The Rolling
Stones do
It's the End of Faith...

Obviously I meant Hand of Fate

You're a rag-trade girl, you're the queen of porn
You're the easiest lay on the White House lawn

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
and all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I'm doing alrigth
You should have seen me just around midnight

Bless the father bless the son herar the sound of the drums

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me

Well I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran twenty red lights in his honor thank you jesus thank you lord

Life's just a coctail party on the street


Booze and pills and powders you have to choose your medicine


Just a few of my favorites

That would be the one I would pick as well!

In terms of Hand of Fate (Not Hand of Faith) I would take this one

I am on the run and I hear the hounds. My luck is over, my chips are down.

The old maid is roughing up, applying final touches.
Even though she's late for the dance, I tell you tonight she's really gonna have a ball.
She's gonna really tie me up.

So, so many but I think my absolute favourite is "Love comes at the speed of light".

As my favourite, "The Sunshine Bores The Daylights Out Of Me" has already been menioned, I'll offer, "Hear the screams from Centre 42, loud enough to bust your brains out!"

"Judge and jury walk out hand in hand"

LOL just curious.

Joe's got a cough, sounds kind of rough
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it
Doctor prescribes, drugstore supplies
Who's going to help him to kick it

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

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me

Coming down again...The real deal...Keith on Brian, Anita...Strange, on my turntable right now...

You know, when I first got into the Stones at the age of about 12, I didn't give a hoot about the lyrics.

I could seldom tell what that lunatic on the buried vocals was singing about anyway.

In some ways, I'm still not too bothered . I just love the noise they make when playing pretty much anything.

Oh when you call my name, I salivate like a Pavlog dog...

One time you were my baby chicken but now you turned into a fox
One upon a time I was your little rooster, now am I just one of your cocks?

Well I hope we're not too Messianic or a trifle too satanic...

The servants are so helpful, yeah
The cook she is a whore
The butler has a place for her
Behind the pantry door
The maid, she's French, she's got no sense
She's from the Crazy Horse
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips
The footman's eyes get crossed...

I hope we're not too messianic
or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues

HBK

Reading these shows how many great lyrics they have

Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time

And I did not know her name
And I did not know her name
But I sure love the way
That she laughed and took my money

And I did not know her name
And I did not know her name
I sure loved the way
That she laughed and called me honey

And a couple of favourites where Mick has added new lyrics to old songs on the deluxe re-releases of GHS and some Girls:

All summer long, I've been in Italy
Tipplen' down the wine
On the run with a different duchess every night
But my only lover came from antiquity
Found her on a building site
She's got no head, she's cut from marble so white.


I don't need your designer drugs, I don't want your bad cocaine
All I need is the latest duds, to make me look thin and vain.

Dreamy Skies

I'll be dancing on diamonds, I'll be skating on glass
I'll be chopping up wood, I'll be splitting the halves
An old AM radio is all that I've got
It just plays Hank Williams and some bad honky-tonk
'Cause I got to take a break from it all
