1. GIMME SHELTER




Oh, a storm is threat'ning

My very life today

If I don't get some shelter

Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away


War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away


Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'

Our very street today

Burns like a red coal carpet

Mad bull lost its way


War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away


Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away


Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away


Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away


The floods is threat'ning

My very life today

Gimme, gimme shelter

Or I'm gonna fade away


War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away, kiss away


2. LOVE IN VAIN


Well I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
Yeah, I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
Whoa, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell
When all your love's in vain

When the train come in the station
I looked her in the eye
Well the train come in the station
And I looked her in the eye
Whoa, I felt so sad so lonesome
That I could not help but cry

When the train left the station
It had two lights on behind
Yeah, when the train left the station
It had two lights on behind
Whoa, the blue light was my baby
And the red light was my mind

All my love was in vain
All my love's in vain


3. COUNTRY HONK



I'm sittin' in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson
And on the street the summer sun it shines
There's many a bar-room queen
I've had in Jackson
But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady she all dressed me up in roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme thse honky tonk blues




4. LIVE WITH ME



I got nasty habits, I take tea at three

Yes, and the meat I eat for dinner

Must be hung up for a week

My best friend, he shoots water rats

And feeds them to his geese

Don'cha think there's a place for you

In between the sheets?


Come on now, honey

We can build a home for three

Come on now, honey

Don't you wanna live with me?


And there's a score of harebrained children

They're all locked in the nursery

They got earphone heads they got dirty necks

They're so 20th century

Well they queue up for the bathroom

'Round about 7:35

Don'cha think we need a woman's touch to make it come alive?


You'd look good pram pushing

Down the high street

Come on now, honey

Don't you wanna live with me?


Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear

The cook she is a whore

Yes, the butler has a place for her

Behind the pantry door

The maid, she's French, she's got no sense

She's wild for Crazy Horse

And when she strips, the chauffeur flips

The footman's eyes get crossed


Don'cha think there's a place for us

Right across the street

Don'cha think there's a place for you,

In between the sheets?



5. LET IT BLEED



Well, we all need someone we can lean on

And if you want it, you can lean on me

Yeah, we all need someone we can lean on

And if you want it, you can lean on me


She said, "My breasts, they will always be open

Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me

And there will always be a space in my parking lot

When you need a little coke and sympathy"


Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on

And if you want it, baby, well you can dream on me

Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on

And if you want to, well you can cream on me


I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement

When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea

But you knifed me in my dirty filthy basement

With that jaded, faded, junky nurse

Oh what pleasant company


We all need someone we can feed on

And if you want it, well you can feed on me

Take my arm, take my leg, oh baby don't you take my head


Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on

Yeah, and if you want it, baby, well you can bleed on me

Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on

Yeah, yeah, and if you want it, baby, why don'cha bleed on me

All over


Ahh, get it on rider, get it on rider , get it on rider

You can bleed all over me

Get it on rider , get it on rider, get it on rider

You can cum all over me


6. MIDNIGHT RAMBLER



Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

And everybody got to go.

Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

The one that shut the kitchen door.

He don't give you a hoot of warning,

Wrapped up in a black cat cloak.

He don't go in the light of the morning -

He split by the time the cock'rel crow.



I’m talkin' about the midnight gambler,

The one you never seen before.

Yeah, I’m a-talkin' about the midnight gambler.

Did you see him jump the garden wall?

He’ll sigh down the winds so sadly -

Listen and you’ll hear him moan.

Yeah, well, I’m talkin' about the midnight gambler.

Everybody got to go.



Now, did you hear about the midnight rambler?

Well, honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show!

Well, I'm talkin' about the midnight gambler!

Yeah, the one you never seen before.



Well did ya hear about the midnight gambler?

Well honey its no rock-in' roll show

Well I'm talking about the midnight gambler

The one you never seen before



Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that.

Don't you do that. Don't you do that. Don't you do that. Don't you do that.

Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that. Don't you do that. Oh, don't do that.

Oh, don't do that. Don't you do that. Oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do that.



Well you heard about the Boston...

It's not one of those.

Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight... Sh-h-h!

The one that closed the bedroom door.

I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger.

The knife-sharpened, tippie-toe...

Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler.

You know: the one you never SEEN before.

So if you ever meet the midnight rambler,

Coming down your marble hall,

Well he's pouncing like proud black panther.

Well, you can say I - I told you so!

Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler!

Yeah! Play it easy, as you go!

I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows;

Put a fist - put a fist through your steel-plated door!



Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall.

And did you hear about the midnight gambler?

And did you see me make my midnight call?



And if you ever catch the midnight rambler,

I'll steal your mistress from under your nose.

I'll go easy with your cold-fanged anger!

I'll stick my knife right down your throat,

Baby, and it hurts!




7. YOU GOT THE SILVER




Hey babe, what's in your eyes?

I saw them flashing like airplane lights

You fill my cup, babe, that's for sure

I must come back for a little more


You got my heart you got my soul

You got the silver you got the gold

You got the diamonds from the mine

Well that's all right, it'll buy some time


Tell me, honey, what will I do

When I'm hungry and thirsty too

Feeling foolish (and that's for sure)

Just waiting here at your kitchen door?


Hey baby, what's in your eyes?

Is that the diamonds from the mine?

What's that laughing in your smile?

I don't care, no, I don't care


Oh babe, you got my soul

You got the silver you got the gold

A flash of love, has made me blind

I don't care, no, that's no big surprise




8.MONKEY MAM



I'm a fleabit peanut monkey

All my friends are junkies

That's not really true


I'm a cold Italian pizza

I could use a lemon squeezer

What you do?


But I've been bit and I've been tossed around

By every she-rat in this town

Have you, babe?


Well, I am 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


I'm a monkey

I'm a monkey

I'm a monkey man

I'm a monkey man

I'm a monkey...



9. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT



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 well you might find
You get what you need

And 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 50-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

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 flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

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 get what you need

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby

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

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

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
