I just think this is such a good song...I used to bring a tape to the pub and people woulnt believe it was the Stones..do you like this song?

A very strange, durge-like song. I hated it at first but over time it's grown on me (albeit somewhat slowly). I still don't necessarily love it but it gets a passing grade from me.

Good lyrics..and I feel the soul of Dylan and the sixties...but my punk rocking friends just loved it!!So it sure aint no hippie thing.Its raw.

is your head screwed on right?

what album

Well, funny lyrics.

But I like the song and Blood Red Wine could also be a good song if they work a little with the song.

You find it on bootlegs. I have this song on two albums:
-Unplugged
-Thee Satanic Session.

There is a reason why they never realesed the song, the lyrics.

Rooster, you got me. I didn`t now it was realesed. Perheps because I don`buy that much of Allan Klein after the break between Stones and Klein.

Decca was so wrong..in many ways!!!But if I look at my old lp s that label strangely does something to me!!Golden years...indeed.

Don`t worry, give me some years and suddenly I got all the records from Decca after 1970

Good to hear someone bring up this tune. This has always been one of my favorite rarities. I love everything about the song and the piano (nicky) is hypnotic. Mick sings in such a strange psychedlic way. I played this for my friends recently and they all loved it and were surprised it wasn't on any of their original studio albums.

Family
(Jagger/Richards)

Here's father, his heart screwed on
Yes, here he's got it I'm sure
'Cause he lost his life in an accident
Found his heart in the man next door
What exactly's gonna happen
When they do transplant the brain
Will my borrowed brain still compute the same
Or will my daughter suffer so much more

Here comes the girl, she's got her head screwed on
But it ain't screwed on right
Her ambition is to be a prostitute
But the breaks just weren't right
What exactly's gonna happen, tell me
When her father finds out
That his virgin daughter has bordello dreams
And that he's the one she wants to try out
Yeah

There's ma, she's living dangerously
It's a cinch she'll try it anything twice
She thinks she can run right to the whirlpool's edge
And stop herself just in time
What exactly's gonna happen
When she finally fizzles out
The lovers will just be sucked into
To see what the colours of death are all about

Here's the son, has his legs a-screwed on
Yeah, they're screwed on pretty tight
But his brain is loose and it ain't no use
He's already lost the fight
What exactly's 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

That's what happens
When a family finds out
That they've been in orbit now for a thousand years
And need a thousand more to climb out


Great song!
