Is it the same as "you can dream of me" ?

Is it "get it on, rider" or "bleed it on, rider" ?
I hear "bleed it on, rider"

I know it's about having sex with a girl on the rag

I think it's "Get it on rider" for Stripped and "Lean on rider" on Let It Bleed. Some live versions I think he sings "Bleed on rider". And in the studio LIB version I think he sings: "You can cream on me" actually.

I think it means , "you can look to the future with " . Hence dream on me

Christian, what a lovely turn of phrase "I know it's about having sex with a girl on the rag"!! I have always thought it was Lean on Rider. The cream on me phrase is at the end of the verse methinks.

maybe having sex with a virgin too

I thought it was just a satirical twist on the Beatles "Let It Be" - not really about anything, per se.

Personally, I always thought it was "Bleed alright", just with Mick twisting the sound of the words a bit.

Stones released LET IT BLEED in 1969
Beatles released LET IT BE in 1970

"Let It Be" was recorded and filmed in 1969 with the usual hoopla surrouding all things Beatle. "Let It Bleed" was indeed a play on the title.

The line is get it on rider. Open to very obviously different interprations.

rider/riding
1 - a girl friend, the sexual partner (see also easy rider). Riding is probably the most common metaphor for the sexual act in blues, see also balling the jack and grinding.
