Mean Disposition
(Jagger/Richards)
I'm getting wise to you
You're going to see
I'm going to work on you
The way you worked on me
I got a sharper aim
And you're in my sights
If I'm going to go
I'm going in a blaze of lights
And in this crazy world of hit and run
There are no laws here
Just a loaded gun
She's got a mean disposition
Got a big shooter too
She's got a mean disposition
Really make a mess
Really make a mess out of you
I never close my eyes
I never sleep
I'm staying on my guard
Waiting for my flesh to creep
And I never trusted you
And you never trusted me
I'll do a deal with you
If you'll do a deal with me
For me the nightmare's only just begun
There is no law here
Just a loaded gun
She's got a mean disposition
Got a big shooter too
She's got a mean disposition
Got a bad attitude
She's got a mean disposition
Going to cut your half
Going to cut your half in two
I'm going to have to stand my ground
Like Crockett at the Alamo
I'm going to draw the line
One of us has got to go
She's got a mean disposition
Got a big shooter too
She's got a mean disposition
Got a bad attitude
She's got a mean disposition
Going to make a mess out of you
She's got a mean disposition
Going to cut your half
Going to cut your half in two
Melody
(Jagger/Richards)
Melody Melody

Melody

Melody

I came home one morning
About a quarter to three
I'm banging on my door
Cause I just lost my key
Open up baby you got someone else inside
I'm gonna come and get you dead or alive
Melody
It was her second name
Melody
It was her...
I took her out dancing
But she drank away my cash
She said I'm gonna fix my face
Don't you worry I'll be back
I'm looking for her high and low
Like a mustard for a ham
She was crashed out in the bathroom
In the arms of my best friend
Melody
It was her second name
Melody
It was her...
Then one day she left me
She took everything that moved
She took my trailer home
She took my Sunday boots
My nose is on her trail
I'm gonna catch her by surprise
And then I'm gonna have the pleasure
To roast that child alive
Melody (What I say)
It was her second name
Melody Melody
It was her second name
Melody
It was...
Memo From Turner
(Jagger/Richards)
Didn't I see you down in San Antone on a hot and dusty night?
We were eating eggs in Sammy's when the black man there drew his
knife
Aw, you drowned that Jew in Rampton as he washed his sleeveless
shirt
You know, that Spanish-speaking gentleman, that one we all called
Kurt
Come now, gentlemen, I know there's some mistake
How forgetful I'm becoming, now you fixed your bus'ness straight
I remember you in Hemlock Road in nineteen fifty-six
You're a faggy little leather boy with a smaller piece of stick
You're a lashing, smashing hunk of man
Your sweat shines sweet and strong
Your organ's working perfectly, but there's a part that's not
screwed on
Weren't you at the Coke convention back in nineteen sixty-five
You're the misbread, grey executive I've seen heavily advertised
You're that great, gray man whose daughter licks policemen's
buttons clean
You're the man who squats behind the man who works the soft
machine
Come now, gentlemen, your love is all I crave
You'll still be in the circus when I'm laughing, laughing in my
grave
When the old men do the fighting and the young men all look on
And the young girls eat their mother's meat from tubes of
plasticon
Be wary of these my gentle friends of all theskins you breed
They have a tasty habit - they eat the hands that bleed
So remember who you say you are and keep your noses clean
Boys will be boys and play with toys so be strong with your beast
Oh Rosie dear, doncha think it's queer, so stop me if you please
The baby is dead, my lady said, "You gentlemen, why you all
work for me?"
Memory Motel
(Jagger/Richards)
Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved
We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel
It's on the ocean I guess you know it well
It took a starry night to steal my breath away
Down on the waterfront her hair all drenched
in spray
Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
Her eyes were hazel her teeth were slightly curved
She took my guitar and she began to play
She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain
You're just a memory of a love that used to be
You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so
much to me
She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah
Well she's one of a kind
got a mind
She got a mind of her own, yeah, and she use it mighty fine
She drove a pick-up truck painted green and blue
The tires were wearing thin she done a mile or two
And when I asked her where she headed for
(Back up to Boston I'm singing in a bar)
I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
My nerves are shot already the road ain't all that smooth
Across in Texas is the rose of San Antone
I keep on a feeling that gnawing in my bones
You're just a memory (just a memory) of a love that used to mean
so
much to me
(just a memory)
You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so
much to me
You're just a memory girl, you're just a sweet
old memory
And it used to mean so much to me
Sha la laa la
Sha la laa la
Sha la laa la
Sha la laa la
You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so much to me
She got a mind of her own and she use it well
Mighty fine she's one of a kind
She got a mind of her own
She's one of a kind and she use it well
On the seventh day my eyes were all aglaze
We been ten thousand miles and been in fifteen states
Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind
I hit the bottle and I hit the sack and cried
What's all this laughter on the twenty-second floor?
It's just some friends of mine and they're busting
down the doors
It's been a lonely night at the Memory Motel
You're just a memory girl just a memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory girl you're just a memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory girl you're just a sweet old memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory of a love that used to mean so
much to me
She's got a mind of her own and she use it well yeah
Well she's one of a kind
Memphis Tennessee
(Berry)
Long distance in formation, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
Mercy Mercy
(Covay/Miller)
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
have mercy, have mercy on me
well I went to see the gypsy
to have my fortune read
she said "man, your baby gonna leave you
her bags are packed up under the bed"
that's right
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
have mercy, have mercy on me
but if you leave me baby
girl if you put me down
I'm gonna make it to the nearest river child
and jump overboard and drown
thats right
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
have mercy, have mercy on me
I said hey hey baby hey hey now
what you trying to do
hey hey baby hey hey now
please don't say we're through
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
have mercy, have mercy on me
but if you stay baby
I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna work two jobs, seven days a week
and bring my money home to you
thats right
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
have mercy, have mercy on me
yeah
Have mercy, have mercy, baby
have mercy, have mercy on me
Midnight Rambler
(Jagger/Richards)
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
Ev'rybody got to go
Did you heard about the Midnight Rambler,
the one that shut the kitchen door?
He don't give a hoot of warning
wrapped up in a black cat cloak
He don't go in the light of the morning
He's split, the time the cook'rel crows
Talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler,
the one you never seen before
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall?
Sighin' down the wind softly
Listen and you hear him moan
Talkin' 'bout the midnight rambler
Ev'rybody got to go
Did you hear about the midnight rambler?
Well, honey, it's no rock'n'roll show
Talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler,
the one you never seen before
Oh, don't do that
Oh, don't do that
Oh, don't do that
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
Did you see me make my midnight call
And if you catch the Midnight Rambler
I'll steal your mistress from under your nose
Well, go easy with your cold fandango
I'll stick my knife right down your throat
Baby, and it hurts!
Might As Well Get Juiced
(Jagger/Richards)
If you really want to rip up your mind
If you want to take the lid of your life
If you want to reach on down in the sump
To last dregs off the camel's back hump
And the wolves are howling
Right at your door
And the vultures want to tear off some more
Your flesh is burning right off your bones
Your children kick you out of your home
If you really want to tear up your mind
If you really want to get yourself blind
Might as well get juiced
Might as well get juiced
Hey Mama
What's this crazy game of sevens, eights and nines
I can't keep up with you baby
I'm gonna give you such a piece of my mind
When I get around to it
'Cause Honey I'm abused
Might as well get juiced
If you really want to melt down your mind
Crank it up to straight double time
If you really want to have some fun
Spit right down on everyone
If you got the strenght to scream out "Hell why"
The wheels of life are passing you by
You might as well get juiced
Might as well get juiced
Some people like to get high on love
Buss it off with alcohol
Give me a little taste of those fumes
I need a little boost
I tell you the sweet things in life
How am I going to survive
I might as well get juiced
I might as well get juiced
I might as well get juiced
A little bit confused
Miss Amanda Jones
(Jagger/Richards)
Down and down she goes
aw, Amanda Jones
I said down and down and down and down
she'd look really lovely at home
til somebody gonna come up and ask her
to live happily ever after, miss Amanda Jones
On and on she goes
little miss Amanda Jones
I said on and on and on and on
just watch her as she grow
don't wanna say it very obviously
but she's losing her nobility, miss Amanda Jones
Hey girl don't you realize
the money invested in you
hey girl you just got to find
someone who'll really pull your family through
Up and up she goes
hone Amanda Jones
I said up and up and up and up
she looks quite delightfully stoned
she's the darling of the discotheque crowd
of her lineage she's rightfully proud, miss Amanda Jones
Hey girl with your nonsense nose
all pointing right down at the floor
hey girl your suspender shows
and the girl behind you looks a bit unsure
Round and round she goes
the world of Amanda Jones
I said round and round and round and round
the balls and the dinners and show
the little girl she just wanders about
til it's time for her coming out, miss Amanda Jones
Round and round and round
round and round and round...

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

Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy

Shuffling through the street
People ask me, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh

Misty Road
(Jagger/Richards)
The way she held my eyes
Said "Ain't nobody take the misty road"
I'm gonna try it sometime
Even if I'm going away
And she take you down by the waist
On the way to find the misty road
She never said that with her eyes
She said "Don't you understand"
"I'm tempted but yeah if I find the road, I'm gonna ride"
Ooooh, oooh, ooh, aah (repeat)
The way she held me tight
I knew all right
In just a minute I'd be galloping away down the misty road
And jump
Oooh.....
And jump, and jump, and . . .
The way she held me tight
Its a brilliant moonlight
I'd always thought that everybody was kicking us down the moonlight hill
We had heroin and booze
Those assholes that run us in
Said its a locked up case
Hey baby
Oooh...

Monkey Man
(Jagger/Richards)
I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
How'd you do?
I've been bit and
I've been tossed around by every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, I'm just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yes I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too
Babe
Moon Is Up
(Jagger/Richards)
Moon is up
The sun is down
You can't have it both ways round
Ooh babe, won't you listen to me
We are worlds apart, you see
Where are you now
Crying out loud
Where did you go
When I needed you
The sun sinks behind the clouds
And hides his tears without a sound
The moon looks on reflectively
So spare a thought for me and you
Where are you now
Dark are the clouds
Where did you go
When I needed you
The moon is up
The sky is black
I'll sail away and won't come back
The sun goes down
The stars will rise
And dance across
The darkened skies
The sun goes down
The moon comes up
The moon is up
The sun goes down
And you can't have it both ways round
So come on baby and listen to me
Cause we are worlds apart, you see
The sun goes down
The moon comes up
Moonlight Mile
(Jagger/Taylor)
When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
with a head full of snow
with a head full of snow
In the window there's a face you know
Don't the night pass slow?
Don't the night pass slow?
Sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad, mad day on the ro-oad
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I'm just about a moonlight mile, on down the road
Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Gonna warm my bones,
gonna warm my bones
I got silence on my radio
Let the air waves flow,
let the air waves flow
For I am sleeping under strange strange skies
Just another mad, mad day on the road
My dreams is fading down the railway line
I'm just about a moonlight mile down the ro-oad-woad
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm riding sister and I'm dreamin'

Mother's Little Helper
(Jagger/Richards)
What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two helps her on her way, get her through her busy day
Doctor please some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy. You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight
Doctor please some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day
My Girl
