The Rolling Stones - No Expectations Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
Beggars Banquet Released:
1968 Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I've got
No Expectations To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man and
Now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before
You heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leaving me
You pack my peace of mind
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
Its here, and then its gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again

LyricFindNo Expectations Song Chart When Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones died in 1969, this song took on new meaning, as lyrics like "Our love is like our music, it's here and then it's gone" made it a fitting elegy. Mick Jagger explained: "That's Brian (Jones) playing steel guitar. We were sitting around in a circle on the floor, singing and playing, recording with open mikes. That was the last time I remember Brian really being totally involved in something that was really worth doing. He was there with everyone else. It's funny how you remember - but that was the last moment I remember him doing that, because he had just lost interest in everything." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France) The Stones performed this on Rock and Roll Circus, a British TV special The Stones taped in 1968, but never aired. Brian Jones played this with a passion he was clearly losing as drugs took over his life. Rock and Roll Circus was released on video in 1995. Nicky Hopkins, who also played with The Who and The Beatles, played piano on this. Lenny Kravitz opened several shows for The Rolling Stones in 1994, and was invited onstage to jam with them at a Cleveland show. Kravitz helped out Mick Jagger in 2001, co-writing, performing on, and producing his song "God Gave Me Everything." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2) This song was featured in the 1978 ant-war film Coming Home, with Jane Fonda and John Voight. (thanks, Michael - LA, CA)
