Watching girls passing by, it ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls passing by, the tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

(I am) not a Stones guy... But this by far is my favorite!  On Tattoo You but written years earlier for Goats Head Soup, 10 years earlier... But they still had Mick Taylor.  Just NO dancing please Mick!

 

[SORRY FOR THE SIDEBAR]

 

My lyrical repsonse to last post:

 

There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best

Sometimes I feel so alive
Sometimes I see so clear
Just like the way we always were
So young and free from fear
 
I lose my fear of war and dying
And all the clouds just disappear
Only my mirror sees me crying
Each time I lose another year 

Wouldn't be a drag to be like you
Settling down and having kids
And telling them what to do
Well I'm gonna stay 
Nineteen forever
 
We can do magic in these times
Be what we want to be
We'll all be rock 'n' roll stars
Immortal on TV
 
And if you see me looking tired
I've just been sleeping thought the day
But I got something to keep me wired
So we can dance the night away
 
Wouldn't it be a drag to be like them
They're gonna sell out everything
But I won't get fooled again
Cause I'm gonna be 
Nineteen forever
 
You better believe it  
You know my dream's still alive
You can love it or leave it
But I'm never gonna be 35

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

 

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again, don't get fooled again

When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy,
But now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at all,
When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams,
But now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all.
 
My how time rushes by,
The moment you're born you start to die,
Time waits for no man,
And your life's spent, it's over before you began.

Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by 
Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly 
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 


Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face 
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste 
Time waits for no one, no favours has he 
Time waits for no one, and he won't wait for me

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
 
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have

 

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they wanna have fun

Mystery achievement 
Don't breathe down my neck no 
I got no trophies on display 
I sign them away 
I mean what the heck 
All of your promises 
Don't fill me with pride no 
I just wanna get out on the floor 
And do the Cuban slide, slide, slide, slide

But every day, every nighttime I find 
Mystery achievement 
You're on my mind 
And every day, every nighttime I feel 
Mystery achievement you're so unreal

Mystery achievement 
Where's my sandy beach? Yeah 
I had my dreams like everybody else 
But they're out of reach 
I said right out of reach 
I could ignore you 
Your demands are unending 
I got no tears on my ice cream but you know me 
I love pretending

But every day, every nighttime I find 
Mystery achievement 
You're on my mind 
And every day, every nighttime I feel 
Mystery achievement you're so unreal

Roll up roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up, and that's an invitation
Roll up for the Mystery Tour
Roll up to make a reservation
Roll up for the Mystery Tour
The Magical Mystery Tour
Is waiting to take you away
Waiting to take you away

It's an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, pa
Baltimore in dc now
Don't forget the motor city
On the streets of brazil
Back in the ussr
No matter where you are
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

My grandpa, he's ninety five
And he keeps on dancin'
He's still alive

My grandma, she's ninety two
She loves to dance
And sing some, too

I don't know
But I've been told
If you keep on dancing
You'll never grow old

Come on darling
Put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long

I'm a hard working man
I'm a son of a gun
I've been working all week in the noon day sun
The wood's in the kitchen
And the cow's in the barn
I'm all cleaned up and my chores are all done
Take my hand, come along
Let's go out and have some fun

Come on darling put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long

Pick on
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long

Come on darling, don't look that way
Don't you know when you smile
I've got to say you're my honey pumpkin lover
You're my heart's delight

Don't you want to go out tonight
You're such a pretty lady
You're such a sweet girl
When you dance it brightens up my world

Come on darling put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
And dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long

And will it be poison put in my glass?
And will it be slow or will it be fast?
The bite of a snake, the sting of a spider
A drink of Belladonna on a Toussaint night
Hiding in a corner in New York City
Looking down a forty-four in West Virginia
I was dancing, dancing, dancing so free

She comes on like a rose but everybody knows
She'll get you in Dutch
You can look but you better not touch

 

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison ivy comes a-creepin' around

 

She's pretty as a daisy but look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her under your skin

 

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison ivy comes a-creepin' around

 

Measles make you bumpy
And mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya
And whooping cough'll cool ya
But poison ivy, Lord'll make you itch!

I left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me lies
I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I told her I didn't see nobody
Why'd she made a fool out of me

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Selling little bottles of love potion number nine

I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is love potion number nine"

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissing everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love potion number nine
Love Potion number nine
Love Potion number nine

Love you ev'ry day girl,
Always on my mind.
One thing I can say girl,
Love you all the time.

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me.
Ain't got nothin' but love babe,
Eight days a week.
Eight days a week
I love you.
Eight days a week
Is not enough to show I care.
