JAGGER, Mick & RICHARDS Keith


She's a Rainbow

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;

She combs her hair

She's like a rainbow

Coming, colors in the air

Oh, everywhere

She comes in colors

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
…..
Have you seen her dressed in blue?

See the sky in front of you

And her face is like a sail

Speck of white so fair and pale

Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
…..
Have you seen her all in gold?

Like a queen in days of old

She shoots colors all around

Like a sunset going down

Have you seen a lady fairer?

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
…..
She's like a rainbow

Coming, colors in the air

Oh, everywhere

She comes in colors


Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colors any more, I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black

With flowers and my love both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black

I see my red door I must have it painted black

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts

It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the setting sun

My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colors any more, I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see it painted, painted black

Black as night, black as coal

I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black


Dead Flowers

Well, when you're sitting there

In your silk upholstered chair

Talking to some rich folks that you know

Well I hope you won't see me

In my ragged company

You know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flower by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well, you're sitting back

In your rose pink Cadillac

Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

I'll be in my basement room

With a needle and a spoon

And another girl can take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flower by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flower by the us mail

Say it with dead flowers at my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

No I won't forget to put roses on your grave


Ruby Tuesday

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing’s gained
And nothing’s lost, at such a cost

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
…..
"There's no time to lose", I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
…..


JAGGER, Mick

Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's soul to waste

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed the czar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank

Held a general's rank

When the blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
…..
I watched with glee

While your kings and queens

Fought for ten decades

For the gods they made

I shouted out,

Who killed the Kennedys?

When after all

It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

And I laid traps for troubadours

Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
…..
Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails

Just call me Lucifer

'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

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,

Pleased to meet you
…..
Oh yeah, get on down

Tell me baby, what's my name

Tell me honey, can ya guess my name

Tell me baby, what's my name

I tell you one time, you're to blame

What's my name

Tell me, baby, what's my name

Tell me, sweetie, what's my name


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 everything

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

Doing things I used to do

They think are new

I sit and watch

As tears go by

Brown Sugar

Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields

Sold in the market down in New Orleans

Skydog slaver know he's doin' all right

Hear him whip the women, just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good?

Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should, oh no

Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot

Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop

House boy knows that he's doin' all right

You should have heard him, just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good?

…..

Brown Sugar, how come you dance so good?

Oh, got me quittin'

Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should, yeah

Now, I bet your mama was a tent show queen

And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen

I'm no school boy but I know what I like

You should have heard them, just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good?
