Letra
Love comes at the speed of light Love comes at the speed of light Love comes in a strange disguise Love comes Open the door and let the light pour over Open the door don't you keep me out Open the door and let the light pour over Hear me shout Open the door and let the light pour over Open the door don't you keep me out Open the door and let the light pour over Love comes at the speed of light Love comes It's a pure as silver It's as pure as gold It's a rushing river Let it run all over me It's as pure as silver It's as pure as gold Let it run all over me Love comes Love comes at the speed of light Love comes at the speed of light - Start Me Up3:54
If you start me up If you start me up I'll never stop If you start me up If you start me up I'll never stop I've been running hot You got me ticking gonna blow my top If you start me up If you start me up I'll never stop (I'll never stop, I'll never stop, I'll never stop) You make a grown man cry Spread out the oil, the gasoline I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine Start it up If you start it up Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got I can't compete with the riders in the other heats If you rough it up If you like it you can slide it up (Slide it up, slide it up, slide it up) Don't make a grown man cry My eyes dilate, my lips go green My hands are greasy She's a mean, mean machine Start it up If start me up Give it all you got You got to never, never, never stop Slide it up Give it all, start me up Never, never, never, never You make a grown man cry Ride like the wind at double speed I'll take you places that you've never, never seen Start it up Love the day when we will never stop, never stop Never stop, never stop Tough me up Never stop, never stop, never stop You, you, you make a grown man cry You, you make a dead man cum You, you make a dead man cum - Sad Sad Sad3:32
Letra
Fling you out into orbit No one's going to hear you shout And fools aren't going to follow You don't send the sleaze about Now you're sad sad sad Sad sad sad Sad sad sad But you're gonna be fine The elephant's in the bedroom Throwing all his weight about And I'm locked in the bathroom Your screaams are gonna drown me out Now you're sad sad sad Sad sad sad Sad sad sad But you're gonna be fine I got a cold chill I get a cool thrill Are you ready for the gilded cage Are you ready for the tears of rage Come on baby, don't let them drown you out Now you're sad sad sad Sad sad sad Sad sad sad But you're gonna be fine You're gonna be fine You're gonna be fine..... - Miss You5:55
I've been holding out so long I've been sleeping all alone Lord, I miss you I've been hanging on the phone I've been sleeping all alone I want to kiss you Well, I've been haunted in my sleep You've been starring in my dreams Lord I miss you I've been waiting in the hall Been waiting on your call When the phone rings It's just some friends of mine that say, Hey, what's the matter man? We're gonna come around at twelve With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you. We're gonna bring a case of wine Hey, let's go mess and fool around You know, like we used to Oh everybody waits so long Oh baby why you wait so long Won't you come on! Come on! I've been walking in Central Park Singing after dark People think I'm crazy I've been stumbling on my feet Shuffling through the street Asking people: What's the matter with you, boy? Sometimes I want to say to myself Sometimes I say I won't miss you child I guess I'm lying to myself It's just you and no one else Lord I won't miss you child You've been blotting out my mind Fooling on my time No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah Lord, I miss you, child Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah Lord, I miss you child Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah Lord, I miss you child Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah Aaah aaah aaah aaah - Rock And A Hard Place4:51
Letra
The fields of Eden Are full of trash And if we beg and we borrow and steal We'll never get it back People are hungry They crowd around And the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to town Stuck between a rock And a hard place Between a rock and a hard place this talk of freedom And human rights Means bullying and private wars and chucking all the dust in your eyes And peasant people Pooper than dirt Who are caught in the crossfire with nothing to lose but their shirts Stuck between a rock And a hard place Between a rock and a hard place You'd better stop, put on a kind face Between a rock and a hard place We're in the same boat On the same sea And we're sailing south On the same breeze Building dream churches With silver spires And our rogue children Are playing loaded dice Between a rock and a hard place You'd better stop Give me truth now Don't want no slam I'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep just as a well as a lamb Stuck between a rock And a hard place Between a rock and a hard place You'd better put a stop Put on a kind face Can't you see what you've done to me - Ruby Tuesday3:33
Letra
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 Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you 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 Who could hang a name on you? When you change with every new day Still I'm gonna miss you - You Can't Always Get What You Want7:26
I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was a footloose man You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes, you might find You get what you need! An' I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse Singing: We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't, we're gonna blow a fifty amp fuse You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find You get what you need! (Oh, babe, yeah!) I went down to the Chelsea Drugstore To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy And, man, did he look pretty ill We decided that we would have a soda My favorite flavour, cherry red I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy And he said one word to me, and that was: Dead I said to him You can't always get what you want, no! You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes, you just might find You get what you need! Oh yeah! Whoo You get what you need Yeah, oh baby, oh yeah! I saw her today at the reception In her glass was a bleeding man She was practiced at the art of deception Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands Say You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes, you just might find You just might find You get what you need! Oh yeah! Ah you can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You cant always get what you want But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find You just might find You get what you need! - Factory Girl2:47
Letra
Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere We get buses everywhere Waiting for a factory girl Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats Her zipper's broken down the back Waiting for a factory girl Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night She's a sight for sore eyes Waiting for a factory girl Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet She ain't come out yet Waiting for a factory girl - Can't Be Seen4:17
Letra
I just can't be seen with you I admit it anyway I just got obscene with you I don't stand a chance with you I never did anyway I can't even sleep with you I'd always be awake I just can't be seen with you It's for your own sake You're better off anyway It's too dangerous baby It's too dangerous It's too dangerous I just can't be seen with you They set us up so they can shoot us down Put us six feet underground It's just too deep for me baby I just can't be seen with you Although it hurts me to say Yeah it was just a dream with you Yeah because you're married anyway Oh shit Babe I don't stand a chance with you Oh you're better off this way It's hit and run away It's just too dangerous baby I just can't be, yes I got to chill this thing with you I just can't be It's just too dangerous baby Baby, it's just too much for me I just can't be I just can't be seen nowhere around you baby I just can't be It's too dangerous--it's just too dangerous baby Even in the dark I just can't be Yeah I got to chill with you I just can't be - Little Red Rooster5:15
Letra
I am the little red rooster Too lazy to crow for day I am the little red rooster Too lazy to crow for day Keep everything in the farm yard upset in every way The dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl Dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl Watch out strange cat people Little red rooster's on the prowl If you see my little red rooster Please drive him home If you see my little red rooster Please drive him home Ain't had no peace in the farm yard Since my little red rooster's been gone - Paint It Black4:02
I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore 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 new born baby It just happens every day I look inside myself And see my heart is black I see my red door And must have it painted black Maybe then I'll fade away And not have to face the facts It's not easy facin' 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 settin' Sun My love will laugh with me Before the mornin' comes I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore 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 want see your face Painted black Black as night Black as coal Don't wanna see the Sun Flying high in the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted Painted black Yeah! - Sympathy For The Devil5:35
Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for long long years Stole many a man's soul and faith 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 Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game 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 Hope you guessed my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game Get down, baby Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name But what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game 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 Hope you guessed my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game Get 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 - Brown Sugar4:10
