Sad Sad Sad Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fling you out into orbit
No one's going to hear you shout
And fools ain't going to follow
You don't need to sleaze about
[Chorus]
Now you're sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
But you're gonna be fine
[Verse 2]
The elephant's in the bedroom
Throwing all his weight about
And I'm locked in the bathroom
Your screams are gonna drown me out
[Chorus]
Now you're sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
But you're going to be fine, oh yeah
[Bridge]
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 'em drown you out
Oh yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Now you're sad, sad, sad
Bad, bad, bad
Sad, sad, sad
But you're gonna be fine
Now you're sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
Sad, sad, sad
But you're gonna be fine
[Outro]
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine, fine, fine
You're gonna be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Gonna be fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine
Fine, fine, fine
Mixed Emotions Lyrics
[Verse 1: The Rolling Stones]
Button your lip, baby, button your coat
Let's go out dancing, go for the throat
Let's bury the hatchet, wipe out the past
Make love together, stay on the path
[Chorus: The Rolling Stones, Sara Dash & Lisa Fischer]
You're not the only one with mixed emotions
You're not the only ship adrift on this ocean
[Verse 2: The Rolling Stones]
This coming and going is driving me nuts
This to-ing and fro-ing is hurting my guts
So get off the fence now, you're creasing your butt
Life is a party, let's get out and strut, yeah
[Chorus: The Rolling Stones, Sara Dash & Lisa Fischer]
You're not the only one with mixed emotions
You're not the only ship adrift on this ocean
You're not the only one that's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one with mixed emotions
[Post-Chorus: The Rolling Stones, Sara Dash & Lisa Fischer]
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
[Verse 3: The Rolling Stones]
Let's grab the world by the scruff of the neck
And drink it down deeply and love it to death
So button your lip, baby, button your coat
Let's go out dancing, let's rock and roll
[Chorus: The Rolling Stones, Sara Dash & Lisa Fischer]
You're not the only one with mixed emotions
You're not the only ship adrift on this ocean
You're not the only one that's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one with mixed emotions
Mixed emotions
[Outro: The Rolling Stones, Sara Dash & Lisa Fischer]
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Terrifying Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm lazy as a lion
My body's just for you
Crazy for you
I'm sneaky as a snake
I'm dirty as a dog
I'm rutting like a goat
I'm horny as a hog
Terrifying love
[Chorus]
I get these strange, strange, strange desires
Strange, strange, strange desires
[Verse 2]
You're graceful as a bird
My heart is on the wing
You're gentle as a dove
A humming bird could sing
Crazy for you
You're running like a deer
I'm wily as a fox
You're faster than a mare
I'm stronger than an ox
Terrifying love
[Chorus]
I get these strange, strange, strange desires
Strange, strange, strange desires
Strange, strange, strange desires
[Verse 3]
I'm faithful as a swan
I'm darker than a bat
I'm friendly as a bear
And tougher than a rat
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm restless as a cat
All caged up in a zoo
Terrifying love
[Chorus]
I get these strange, strange, strange desires
Strange, strange, strange desires
Strange, strange, strange desires
[Outro]
Crazy about you
Crazy about you
Crazy about you
Strange, strange, strange desires
Strange, strange, strange desires
Hold On to Your Hat Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hold on to your head
Hold on to your hat
You're screaming down the alley
And never coming back
Back
Get out of my bed
Get out of the sack
Don't give me no lip
Don't you give me no crap
No way
[Chorus]
Get out the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
Gotta, gotta get out
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Get out of my face
Get out of my shack
Now you've had a fair share
You had a fair whack
Yeah
Hold on to your butt
Hold on to your hat
You're heading outta here
And never coming back, no
[Chorus]
Get out the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
We gotta make it
Don't you fake it
You gettin' loaded
I'm gettin' goaded
Gotta, gotta get out
Come on, baby
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to your hat
Don't gimme no shit
Don't you gimme no crap, whoo
Hold on to your head
Don't give me no rap
I've had it up to here
With your yackety-yak
[Chorus]
You're gettin' loaded
I'm gettin' goaded
We'll never make it
Don't fake it
Get out the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
Gotta, got to get out
Gotta get out
[Outro]
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
Burn it all down, ah yeah
I'm over with you, baby
I'm over with you, baby
Get up, get out
Get up, get out
Get up
Hearts for Sale Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My spirit is winging, my soul is free
I'm doing my drinking in good company
The music's screaming, my feet are flying
Everybody's laughing and nobody's crying
A sneak suspicion, it drags me down
A nagging feeling going 'round
[Chorus]
Hearts for sale
Going cheap
Hearts for sale
Lovers' leap
[Verse 2]
My belly's full, my glass is brimming
The women look so beautiful and I feel like singing
The voice of conscience, the voice of reason
Is yacking up my plans, boy, I call that treason
[Chorus]
Hearts for sale
They're going cheap
Hearts for sale
Lovers' leap
[Bridge]
I'm losing my willpower, my blood's running cold
My body's on pause and my mind's stuck on hold
What am I going to do about it?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
A sneak suspicion, it drags me down
Nagging feeling a-going 'round
[Chorus]
Hearts for sale
They're going cheap
A heart for sale
Blood runs deep
Hearts for sale
[Verse 4]
I don't need no doctor (Hearts for sale)
I need a deputation
I tell you if you don't want my loving
You can just take my resignation (Hearts for sale)
(Hearts for sale)
(Hearts for sale)
(Hearts for sale)
I'm under the hammer
I'm a full time worker (Hearts for sale)
I'm a real body slammer
Blinded by Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The queen of the Nile
She laid on her throne
And she was drifting downstream
On a barge that was burnished with gold
Royal purple, the sails
So sweetly perfumed
And poor Mark Antony's senses were drowned
And his future was doomed
[Chorus]
He was blinded by love
[Verse 2]
The Philistines paid
For Samson's blind rage
The secrets that two lovers share
Should never have been betrayed
[Chorus]
He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love
[Bridge]
Now it's no use crying or weeping
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me
[Verse 3]
The poor Prince of Wales
He gave up his crown
All for the trivial pursuit of
A parvenu second-hand lady
So lovers beware
If you lose your heart
Careful now, don't lose your mind
Don't mortgage your soul to a stranger
[Chorus]
Don't be blinded by love
Don't be blinded by love
[Outro]
Blinded by love
Blinded by love
Rock and a Hard Place Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock
And a hard place
[Verse 2]
This talk of freedom and human rights
Means bullying and private wars
And chucking all the dust into our eyes
And peasant people, poorer than dirt
Who are caught in the crossfire
End up nothing to lose but their shirts, yeah
[Chorus]
We're 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
You'd better stop, yeah, give it all you got
Give me the truth now, don't want no shame
I'd be hung, drawn and quartered for a sheep
Just as well as a lamb
[Outro]
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
A rock and a hard place
You'd better stop, put on a kind face
Can't you see what you've done to me?
Between a rock and a hard place (That's what I said)
Between a rock and a hard place (Yeah)
You'd better stop (Stop, yeah, you'd better stop)
Put on a kind face (Just a little smile)
Yeah, come on now, yeah
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop, put on a kind face
You'd better stop, put on a kind face
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
Can’t Be Seen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I, I just can't be seen with you
I admit it anyway
I just get obscene with you, yeah
I don't stand a chance with you
I never did anyway
I, I can't even sleep with you
Ooh, I'd always be awake
Baby, baby, yeah
I just can't be seen with you
It's for your own sake
You're better off anyway
It's too dangerous, baby, yeah
Too dangerous
I just can't be seen with you
[Bridge]
They set us up so they can shoot us down, yeah
Put us six feet underground
And it's just too deep for me, baby
[Verse 2]
I just can't be seen with you
Ooh, ooh it hurts me to say
Yeah, that 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
[Outro]
I just can't be, yes I got to chill this thing with you
I just can't be
It's too dangerous baby
Baby, it's just too much for you
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
Yes I got to chill with you
I just can't be
Almost Hear You Sigh Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can almost hear you sigh
I can almost hear you cry
On every crowded street
All the places we would meet
What'll I do without you?
They say that life goes on
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I can't believe you're gone
[Chorus]
And you acted much too calm
You turned on all the charm
You had a cold look in your eyes
[Verse 2]
I can feel your tongue on mine
Silky smooth like wine
I'm living with these memories
That's all that's left of you and me
[Chorus]
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
And you turned on all the charm
Acted much too calm
You had a cold look in your eyes
[Bridge]
Did it mean nothing
Was it all in vain?
Or was I just your fool?
Or was the pleasure pain?
Have you set me free?
Or will I wake up in the morning
And find out it's been a bad dream?
Come on, I beg you
I want to be your main man
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
I can almost see your smile
It stretched half a mile
You had a stone cold look in your eyes
[Outro]
Yeah
Oh
Come on
Almost see you laugh
I don't need no photograph
Come on, come on, girl
Nothing left to say now
I can't believe, can't believe you're gone
I just can't believe, can't believe you're gone
No, no
Come on, baby, yeah
Continental Drift Lyrics
[Chorus]
Love comes at the speed of light
Love comes at the speed of light
Love comes in a strange disguise
Love comes
[Verse 1]
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 and don't you keep me out
Open the door and let the light pour over
Hear me shout
[Chorus]
Love comes at the speed of light
Love comes
[Verse 2]
It's 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
[Chorus]
Love comes
Love comes at the speed of light
Love comes at the speed of light
Break the Spell Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the winter when the cold comes
And the wind blows with a scornful spite
And the hard ground feels barren
And the forest seems deathly quiet
And the whole world lies sleeping
There's a gypsy all dressed in white
[Verse 2]
Put my hand out, ask the question
Here's the silver, do you have the gift of sight?
Can you break the spell? Can you ring the bell?
Can you break the spell? It's cold, black as night
I've got a hard heart since we've been apart
Can you break the spell? Break it all down tonight
[Verse 3]
In the springtime when the floods come
And the earth bursts with the terrible light
And the sun splash on the window
There's a gypsy and he's all dressed in white
My heart burns with the question
Can you break the spell? Still hot as fire
Can you break the spell? Can you ring the bell?
Can you break the spell? It's cold, black as night
[Outro]
Cold, black as night
Slipping Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Guess it's just another dream that's slipping away
Each time that I fall asleep it seems I'm drifting away
[Chorus]
Just as you have touched my heart
Babe, I wake and we're apart
Yeah, and it's slipping away
[Verse 2]
Here comes just another day that's drifting away
Every time I draw a breath it's dying away
[Chorus]
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Ooh yeah
[Break]
Drifting away
You see me slipping away
[Chorus]
Just as you have touched my heart
I wake up babe and we're apart
It seems we're slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
[Bridge]
All I want is ecstasy
But I ain't getting much
Just getting off on misery
It seems I've lost my touch
[Verse 3]
Well, it's just another song but it's slipping away
Well we didn't sing it long 'cause it's fading away
[Chorus]
First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be 'round soon
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
[Outro]
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
I just can't keep on hold on, baby
Slipping away
Drifting
Slipping away
Slipping away
Just slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away
