100 Years Ago
(Jagger/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?
Wend 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!
19th Nervous Breakdown
(Jagger/Richards)
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 nineteenth nervous breakdown
When you were a child you were a treated kind
Byt 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 owes 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 nineteenth 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 the 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 awhile 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 nineteenth 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 the matters worse. Oh, please
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 owes a million dollars tax
And you father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
2000 Light Years
from Home
(Jagger/Richards)
Sun turning 'round with graceful motion
We're setting off with soft explosion
Bound for a start 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
See 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 grow tiny flowers in my little window sill
Don't you know I'm the two thousand man?
And my kids they just don't understand me at all
Though my wife still respects me, I really misuse here
I am having an affair with a random computer
Don't you know I'm the two thousand man?
And my kids they just don't understand me at all
Oh, daddy, be proud of your planet
Oh, mummy, be proud of your sun
Oh, daddy, be proud of your planet
Oh, mummy, be proud of your sun
Oh, daddy is your brain still flashing
Like it did when you were young?
Or did you come down crashing
Seeing all the things you done?
Oh it's a big put on!
Oh, daddy, be proud of your planet
Oh, mummy, be proud of your sun
Oh, daddy, be proud of your planet
Oh, mummy, be proud of your sun
Oh, daddy, be proud of your planet
Oh, mummy, be proud of your sun
Oh, daddy, be proud of your planet
Oh, mummy, be proud of your sun
And you know who's the two thousand man
And your kids they just won't understand you at all
