The Rolling Stones

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV and a man comes on and tell me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me
Baby, better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say. I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction

100 YEARS AGO

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
And the world was a carpet laid before me
The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange
And it seemed about a hundred years ago

Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate
Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away
Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago

Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles
Living out a dream of what they was
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

Went out walkin' through the wood the other day
Can't you see the furrows in my forehead?
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away
Now it seems about a hundred years ago

Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine
Don't worry 'bout this man that you love
Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up?

You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, yeah, I warn you
You're gonna kiss and say good-bye, oh Lord, I warn you
And please excuse me while I hide away

Call me lazy bones
Ain't got no time to waste away
Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away
Don't you think it's just about time to hide away? Yeah, yeah!

ALL ABOUT YOU

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Well if you call this a life
Why must I spend it with you?
If the show must go on
Let it go on without you
So sick and tired hanging around with jerks like you

Who'll tell me those lies
And let me think they're true?
What am I to do
You want it, I got it too

Though the lies might be true
That's just cause the joke's about you
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you
You're the first to get blamed, always the last bitch to get paid

Oh, tell me those lies
Let me think they're true
I heard one or two
They weren't about me, they weren't about her
They were all about you

I may miss you
But missing me just isn't you
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you

Tell me those lies
Let me think they're true
I heard one or two, and they weren't about me, they weren't about her
They're all about you
I'm so sick and tired
What should I do
You want it, you get it...
So how come I'm still in love with you?

19th Nervous Breakdown



You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal dull affairs.
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud running up and down the stairs.
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years.
And though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears.

You better stop, look around, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes,
Here it comes. Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.

When you were a child you were treated kind
But you were never brought up right.
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night.
Your mother who neglected you woes a million dollars tax.
And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax.

You better stop, look around, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes,
Here it comes. Here comes your nilne-teenth nervous breakdown.

Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane.
Well nothing I do don't seem to work,
It only seems to make matters worse. Oh please.

You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind.
And after that you turned your back on treating people kind.
On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind.
But after while I realized you were disarranging mine.

You better stop, look around, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes,
Here it comes. Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.
Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.

2000 Light Years from Home



Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a star with fiery oceans
It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home


Freezing red deserts turn to dark
Energy here in every part
It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home


It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home


Bell flight fourteen you now can land
Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home

2000 Man



(jagger/richards)

Well, my name is a number
A piece of plastic film
And I’m growin’ funny flowers
In my little window sill

Dont you know I’m a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don’t understand me at all

Well my wife still respects me
I really misused her
I am having an affair
With the random computer

Don’t you know I’m a 2,000 man
And my kids, they just don’t understand me at all

Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your sun
Oh daddy, your brain’s still flashin’
Like it did when you were young
Or do you come down crashin’
Seeing all the things you’d done
All was a big put on

Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your son
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your sun

Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your sun

And you know who’s the 2000 man
And your kids they just won’t understand you at all

Ain’t That Loving You Baby



I could ride around the world in an old oxcart
And never let another girl thrill my heart

Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you so?

I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin’ and my kissin’ belong to just one

Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you so?

Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you so?

I’m putting on my sunday suit and I’m goin’ downtown
But I’ll be kissin’ your lips before the sun goes down

Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you so?

Ain’t that loving you baby?
Ain’t that loving you so?

All I Want is My Baby


(jagger/richards)

All Sold Out



(jagger/richards)

Why put this sadness inside of me
Why be so matter-of-fact
Why put this one bit of hope in me
You sold me out and that’s that

I hope that you’re having fun with me
There’s not much left to attack
I hope that you’re nearly done with me
You sold me out and that’s that

All sold out I’d never seen
A mind so tangled, a girl so strangled
All sold out well I felt so green
It was just like that
I was put down flat
I was sold out just like that
Oh baby

All sold out I’d never seen
A mind so tangled, a girl so strangled
All sold out well I felt so green
It was just like that
I was put down flat
I was sold out just like that

I missed the point of you doing it
Your mind has just jumped the track
I took a bit different view of it
You sold me out and that’s that

Hey hey, that’s that

All The Way Down


(m. jagger/k. richards)

I was twenty one naive
Not cynical, I try to please
Her wit, her speech, her repartee
Impressed me almost instantly

She went all the way
All the way down
She went all the way, all the way

She showed me love a hundred ways
How she pimped and how she paid
All the daughters, all the sons
All were welcome, all would come

We went all the way
All the way down
We went all the way, all the way

I was king, mr. cool
Just a snobby little fool
(like kids are now.)
I dreamed of reaching greater heights
I raved about it every night
Talk is cheap

She went all the way, all the way
All the way down, yeah
She went all the way
All the way all the way
All the way, all the way down

She’s there when I close my eyes
There when I close my eyes
She’s there when I close my eyes
There when I close my eyes

How the years they rush on by
Birthdays, kids and suicides
Still I play the fool and strut
Still you’re a slut

Hey girl, she went all the way
All the way, all the way
All the way down
She went all the way
All the way, all the way
All the way down
She went all the way
All the way, all the way
All the way down

You give me back that time right now
I can see it if I close my eyes
Was every minute just a waste?
Was every hour a foolish chase?
I don’t believe it

She went all the way
All the way down
She went all the way
All the way down
She went all the way
All the way down
She went all the way
All the way all the way
All the way down
She went all the way
All the way all the way
All the way down

Almost Hear You Sigh



(m. jagger/k. richards/jordan)

I can almost hear you sigh
I can almost hear you cry
On every crowded street
All the places we would meet

What will I do without you
They say that life goes on
I’m feeling sorry for myself
I can’t belive you’re gone

You acted much too calm
You turned on all the charm
You had a cold look in your eyes

I can feel your tongue on mine
Silky smooth like wine
I’m living with those memories
That’s all that’s left of you and me

I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
And you turned on all the charm
Acted much too calm
You had a cold look in your eyes

Did it mean nothng
Was it all in vain
Was I just your fool
Or was the pleasure pain
Have you set me free
Or will I wake up
In the morning
And find out it’s been a bad dream

Come on, I beg you
I want to be your main man

I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you make sweet love to me
Almost see your smile
It stretched half a mile
You had a stone cold look in your eyes

Already Over Me


(jagger/richards)

As you poured out the drinks for me
I felt your hooks sink right into me
And I knew you were my destiny
And I thought you’d get the best of me

On the way down to mexico
As I danced in yuor rodeo
You say poverty is picturesque
As you dragged your nails across my chest

You’re so cold
You’re so cruel
I’m your man
Not your fool

Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already over me
What a fool I’ve been

In the first flush of ecstacy
As you lay naked next to me
While our love put the dawn to flight
I just ignore all those warning lights

Cause when you laugh
I just cry
When you left
I just died

Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already sick me
What a fool I’ve been

Hard to hold on
To a love divine
I’m kneeling in a corner
Praying to your shrine

I’ve been hurt
So confused
I’ve been burned
I’ve been bruised

Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already sick of me
Are you already over me
Are you already over me
Are you already tired of me
Are you already over me
What a fool I’ve been
What a fool I’ve been
What a fool I’ve been

Always Suffering


(jagger/richards)

Let’s take a walk
Just you and me
And talk of days gone by
Across the fields
Under the trees
Let’s speak of you and i

While the whole world
Was wandering
We walked a steady line
When all our friends
Were wavering
We kept on trying

Now we’re always suffering
Already lost
Always suffering
Already lost

Remember when
On summer days
I would sing a lovers son
How you would smile
Shower me with praise
And the sun shined on

Now the rain is falling slow
And the nights grow long
And the train
Cries out so hauntingly
She is gone

Now we’re always suffering
Already lost
We’re always suffering
Already lost

Please take these flowers
Smell the perfume
Let your soul come alive
Let there be hope
Hope in your heart
That our love may revive

For life is but a chance
On a wind swept hill
And the seeds of love
Are swirling above
Let them be still

But we’re always suffering
We’re already lost
Always suffering
Already lost

Angie


M. jagger/k. richards)

Angie, angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can’t say we’re satisfied
But angie, angie, you can’t say we never tried
Angie, you’re beautiful, but ain’t it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?

Oh, angie, don’t you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But angie, angie, ain’t it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can’t say we’re satisfied
But angie, I still love you, baby
Ev’rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain’t a woman that comes close to you
Come on baby, dry your eyes
But angie, angie, ain’t it good to be alive?
Angie, angie, they can’t say we never tried

Anyway You Look


(jagger/richards)

Anyway you look at it
From any point of view
You must admit I’m lucky
To be in love with you

And people say I’m cynical
They never want the truth
But life will have more twists and turns
Then found in any book
Mmm, mmm, mmm

And I may travel far away
Across the seas of doom
To undiscovered countries
But I’ll come back to you

Anyway you look at it
Any point of view
Ooh babe, babe
Anyway

Anyway you look at it
When the camera shoots
Seen from any angle
I’m still in love with you
Mmm, mmm, mmm

Anyway you look at it
Anyway you will
Like a beacon shining out
I’ll be there for you
Mmm, mmm, mmm

Around & Around


(c. berry)

I said the joint was rocking
Goin’ round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
’til the moon went down

Well it sounds so sweet
I had to take me chance
Rose out of my seat
I just had to dance
Started moving my feet
Whoa to clapping my hands

I said the joint was a rocking
Goin’ round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
’til the moon went down

Yeah at twelve o’clock
Yeah the place was packed
Front doors was locked
Yeah the place was packed
And when the police knocked
Those doors flew back

But they kept on rocking
Goin’ round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
’til the moon went down

And they go on rocking
Goin’ round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
’til the moon went down

Well the joint stayed a rocking
Goin’ round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
’til the moon went down

As Tears Go By


It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see, but not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

My riches can't buy ev'rything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doin' things I used to do they think are new.
I sit and watch as tears go by.

Baby Break It Down


Baby break it down
Baby break it down
We've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Baby break it down
We've got a long way to go

You're standing on your side
I'm standing on mine
It only needs one step
And you could be crossing the line
There's nothing between us
Or maybe too much
Whatever it is it's too fragile to touch

Baby break it down
Baby break it down
We got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
Babe, you've got a long way to go

And who jumps the fences
And who builds the walls
Whoever takes chances must surely fall

Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
You'll be safe and sound
You've got a long way to go
Babe, too far to go
Too far to go

There's no river running
That we can't cross
Does one or the other of us
Have to be the boss

Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
A long way to go

Baby break it down
Wrap your love around
Babe, you've got a long way to go
Baby break it down
Baby break it down
Long way to go

Long way to go
You've got a long way to go

Back to Zero



(m. jagger/k. richards)

Back to zero
So you wanna blow us all to pieces
Go meet your maker, head hung down
And give him all your explanations
Go ahead, throw down
Back to zero, back to nothing
Straight to meltdown, back to zero
That’s where we’re heading

It’s a monkey living on my back
I can feel my spine begin to crack
I’m looking to the future
I keep on glancing back
I prefer to rot
I don’t want to pop

I think I’ll head back to the jungle, alright
Don’t want to see no big bad rumble, too fright
Back to zero, that’s where we’re going
Back to nothing, right now, right now
No heroes? no more heroes
Back to meltdown
That’s where I’m going, back to zero

My whole life is hanging on a thread
I’m the fly inside the spider’s web
I’m looking to the future
I keep on glancing back
I prefer to rot
I don’t want to pop

I worry about my great grandchildren
Living ten miles beneath the ground
I worry about their whole existence
The whole damn thing’s in doubt
Back to zero, that’s where we’re going
Back to nothing, that’s where we’re heading
Straight to meltdown, that’s where we’re going
Back to zero, right now, right now

We’re going nowhere
Right now, right now
Back to zero, that’s where we’re heading
Back to zero

Backstreet Girl



(jagger/richards)

I don’t want you to be high
I don’t want you to be down
Don’t want to tell you no lie
Just want you to be around

Please come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I say

Don’t want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

Please don’t be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don’t you bother my wife
That way you won’t get no help

Don’t try to ride on my horse
You’re rather common and coarse anyway

Don’t want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

Please don’t you call me at home
Please don’t come knocking at night
Please never ring on the phone
Your manners are never quite right

Please take the favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me

Don’t want you part of my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

Beast of Burden



I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad, but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio

You can put me out...with no shoes on my feet
But you can put me out, put me out, put me out of misery

All your sickness, I can suck it up
Throw it all at me, I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby, that I don't understand
You keep telling me, I ain't your kind of man
Ain't I rough enough
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh, ooh, please

I'll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

All I want is you to make love to me

I don't need no beast of burden
I need no fussin

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

Before They Make Me Run



Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone
And it really hit home
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
Well here's another goodbye to another good friend

After all is said and done
Gotta move while it's still fun
Let me walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I gotta move, it's still fun
I'm gonna walk before they make me run

Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well

After all is said and done
I gotta move I had my fun
Let us walk before they make me run

After all is said and done
I did alright, I had my fun
I will walk before they make me run

Bitch



I'm feeling so tired, can't understand it
Just had a fortnights sleep
I'm feeling so tired, Ow!, so distracted
Ain't touched a thing all week

I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy
Ain't touched a drink all night
Feeling hungry, can't see the reason
Just had a horse meat pie

My heart starts beating like a big bass drum, alright

Yeah you got to mix it child
Ya got to fix it must be love
It's a bitch You got to mix it child
Ya got to fix it must be love It's a bitch allright

Kicking the stall all night
Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on
Don't have no bark or bite

Yeah when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog Yeah when you lay me out
My heart starts beating like a big bass drum
