Thought it would be fun for people to post some of their favorite Stones lyrics.

It could be from a warhorse or an outtake.

"Everybody walking 'round,
everybody trying to step on their Creator.
Don't matter where you are,
everybody gonna need some kind of ventilator."

-Ventilator Blues

"never in my short charmed life have I felt like this before"
"kissing @#$%& in cannes"

Oh and of course:

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

if you can't rock me somebody will?

i alway loved that saying...

the entire song....SFTD!

I just wanna see his face
Your lips dont move but I can hear you speak
Dont do that
And aya y baby it hurts

some faves (for the 500th time):

"i'm on the run, i hear the hounds
my luck is up, my chips are down"

"Well, when you're sitting back
In your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on kentucky derby day
Ill be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away"

"Yes, I saw them today. It's a sight I would say
They're shooting down planes with their M-16 and with laughter"

and who can forget:

"he moon is yellow but I'm not jello
Staring down your tits"

ok . . . that last one was a joke!

you can't catch me!

My favorite:

"Just as long as the guitar plays,
Let it steal you heart away."

"Ooh the lamps are lit, the moon is gone. I think I crossed, the
rubicon"

Can't understand why people don't like this song.

"Lyin' awake in a cold, cold sweat. Am I overdrawn, am I going in debt?
It gets worse, the older that you get. No escape from the state of confusion I'm in.

are you talking about No Expectations here? I thought it was "but never in my sweet, short life, have I felt like this, before"

No? Or do you mean another song?

"The sunshine bores the daylights out of me."

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

----------------------------------------

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
-----------------------------------------

I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie,
I have my freedom I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried,
Let's do some living after we die

Interesting,
I always thought It was sweet short Life. You learn something new every day.

Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie...
Wasn't lookin too good, but I was feelin real well...

Step on the ladder
Toe in the pool
Your such a natural you don't need no acting school
Don't need no casting couch
Or be a star in bed
Never, never, never let success go to you pretty head

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Miss You....Jagger/Richards

It's "short life". For me anyway.

Yes I am talking about No Expectaions. I also thought the line was "sweet charmed life" which is where I got my nickname from. Until somebody more knowledgeable than me pointed out, that the lyric is actually "short charmed life". So I looked it up, and sure enough the official lyrics say short charmed life. This is my favorite stones song, I have heard it a million times, and I would swear it was sweet, not short.
But thanks cindy, I am glad I am not the only one that heard it differently.
But after all these years I think the stones have certainly had a Sweet Charmed Life, and so have I.

It's "sweet short life". Heck I got it playing on headphones right now.
But your username is OK, anyway.

In the Paris Four Flicks Show, Mick changes it to " Sweet, Sweet Life" for obvious reasons.

Your right. I just checked the lyrics again. Great that's twice I have screwed up my so called favorite song. Damn at this point I could probably write a whole new song, based on my screwed up lyrics.

So many good ones.
Some not so compelling in print, but it's how he sings them.
The first one that got me a long time ago:

I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain

But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumping Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
----------------------------
Cause she come every time that she pirouettes over me
----------------------------
Well I can run and jump and fish but I won't fight
You if you want to push and pull with me all night
--------------------------------
She busted in and she burglarised my soul
But now the bad news: she's out on parole

Sure there are countless superb written lines in the song lyrics, but my favorite lines are made by the way Jagger delivers them. So something simple like "Maybe I mistreat'cha" from "Through the Lonely Nights", or "Baby./..sometimes I wanna keep you warm" from "Winter" or "..music make you forget all your trouble make you kiss and make you tell the whole wide world..."from "Hot Stuff" are the best things ever.
Others
"..if she's so wild she can join in too.." from the LIVE "Stray Cat Blues"
"..down on the waterfront her hair all drenched in spray.." from "Memory Motel"
" I love my baby, 99 degrees, but that mooma got a pistol laid it down on me" from "Stop Breaking Down".

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

sometimes i'm dancin' on air and i get scared

she took my trailer home, she took my sunday booze

and there's some little jerk in the fbi keepin' papers on me six feet high

doin' things i used to do they think are new

...i also tend to agree with ChelseaDrugstore that jagger's delivery is the key; i like his delivery far more than most of his lyrics/topics.

ive heard that song a lot but never noticed that, thats good.

I also like " A rich man eyes a poor man and envies his simplicity".

Another day, maybe another point of view. There are of course other gems. However, one of them is and will always be the fourth verse of "No Expectations". (I will not try to state my reasons and ruin the impression)

Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
Its here, and then its gone
