Misunderstanding Lyrics

There must be some Misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I waited in the rain for hours
You were late

Now it's not like me to say the right thing
But you could've called to let me know
I checked your number twice, don't understand it
So I went home

Well I'd been waiting for this weekend
I thought that maybe we could see a show
Never dreamed I'd have this feeling
But seeing you is believing
That's why I don't know why
You didn't show up that night

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I was waiting in the rain for hours
You were late

Since then I've been running around trying to find you
I went to the places you always go
I rang your home but got no answer
Jumped in my car, I went round there
I still don't believe it
He was just leaving

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake.

Misunderstanding Song Chart

This was one of the first songs Phil Collins wrote on his own. He was going through a very difficult time - his first wife Andrea had left him and taken their two children with her. Phil found himself alone in the house he once shared with them, and began writing songs - sad ones.

"Misunderstanding" finds Collins getting stood up and failing to understand that the girl wants nothing to do with him. Despite all evidence to the contrary, he keeps blaming her evasiveness on "some misunderstanding."

In a way, Collins is looking at himself as a witness observer - his story about a man who is delusional in love reflects his hopeless attempts to put his marriage back together (they divorced in 1980). At the time, Collins had much deeper concerns than being left out in the rain, and those concerns are laid bare on the song "Please Don't Ask," which is one of his most personal tales. "Misunderstanding" has a lot more distance, and also a lot more hit potential. Both songs were used on the Genesis album Duke; Collins poured out more of his heart on his first solo album, Face Value, which was released the following year.

This was the second Top 40 US hit for Genesis, following "Follow You, Follow Me." The band began divesting themselves of their progressive rock roots in 1978 with the release of their album And Then There Were Three. They continued moving toward more compact pop songs with "Misunderstanding," which runs just 3:08.

To write songs for the Duke album, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks moved into Collins' house in Surrey, England for six weeks. Collins hadn't done much writing at that point, but Rutherford and Banks were very impressed when he played them this song. Five of the other songs for the album were group efforts written during these sessions when the band would jam together.

Genesis recorded this at Abba's studio in Sweden.

Hotel Lyrics

I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend
Why you over there lookin' at me and my girlfriend?
Let's take it to the Hotel, let's take it to the hotel

Yeah, I said why you over there lookin'?
Got a starin' problem and you f***in'
I know you see my girl, stop frontin'
I could tell you up to a lil' somethin', hol' up
I'ma play it cool, baby roll one
While you make your way and get over here
My girl ain't down then it's over
Just tell her that she look good when I'm over there
In the first place, pour one up
Baby don't be too thirsty
Groupie love ain't ever gon' work see
Hoes ain't loyal and never keep it low key
That ain't alright
I'ma take a shot, couple shots thru the night
Tell a joke, keep it fun, make her feel it's alright
Give you the game wholesale
And bet a hundred that I take 'em to the hotel

I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend
Why you over there lookin' at me (and my girlfriend?)
Let's take it to the hotel (we can take it there), let's take it to the hotel
Take it to the hotel, baby leave with me
Know I got a penthouse suite
I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend

It's kinda hard when I see you lookin' over here
With them eyes
I got a girl but I'm feelin' your body
So I'ma have to just play both sides
I hope she don't come over here
'Cause I'm with my girl, you know I love 'er
I got two of my b****es in the club
And they know about each other, oh no

But a n**** never Paranoid
You f***in' with a man not a little boy
What? I could barely hear your lil voice
In the club but your body makin' all the noise
Clap it up, stack it up
Where your purse? Just pack it up
Grab her hand, tell her we should go now
If you really wanna take this party to the hotel

I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend
Why you over there lookin' at me (and my girlfriend?)
Let's take it to the hotel (we can take it there), let's take it to the hotel (baby we can take it there)
Take it to the hotel, baby leave with me
Know I got a penthouse suite
I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend

Over there lookin' all suspicious
Get a clue girl, don't be a mystery
I see you likin' on all my pictures
Of me and my bi***
Up in all of our business
So, you gotta know it ain't a limit to
What a pill and the liquor do
Make a straight girl go down
Just spit down
I might f*** around and lick her too
It ain't a problem, my metabolism high
Eat you both up for dinner
Just keep it real with a real mothaf***a
Ain't got time for no pretenders
Now just bring it to me
That fleek, that freak, no classy stuff
Been pushin' up, don't p**** now
B****, what you really on?

I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend
Why you over there lookin' at me (and my girlfriend?)
Let's take it to the hotel (we can take it there), let's take it to the hotel (baby we can take it there)
Take it to the hotel, baby leave with me
Know I got a penthouse suite
I said why you over there lookin' at me?
While I'm with my girlfriend

Connection Lyrics

Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.

Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go.

Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.

My bags, they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em
They're dying to add me to their collection
And I don't know if they'll let me go.

Connection, I just can't make no
Connection, but all I want to do, is to get back to you.

Connection Song Chart

Keith Richards wrote most of this song, which is about the long hours the Stones spent in airports and the hard life of performing on the road, with all the travel-weary metaphors that go with it. The repeated word "connection" is a reference to connecting flights, "Everything is going in the wrong direction" is again suggesting not being able to get the right flights, and "The doctor wants to give me more injections, giving me shots for a thousand rare infections" is about the immunization shots you have to get when traveling. Oh, and "my bags, they get a very close inspection." Well, better not have any contraband in there!

Speaking of contraband, this song was written only months before the notorious drug bust of Richards, Jagger, and Jones in 1967; notorious for being mostly trumped-up and the sentences greatly reduced following public outcry.

This song is part of the soundtrack to the 2008 film Shine a Light. It has also been covered by Everclear, Arlo Guthrie, and Montrose.

This was one of the last Stones' songs produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, who would soon split with the group amidst much angst and complaining on both sides.

Cartoons and drawings by the Rolling Stones' drummer Charlie Watts are used on the album artwork. Charlie Watts explains: "Andrew told me to do the drawings for the LP & he told me the title was between the buttons. I thought he meant the title was 'Between The Buttons', so it stayed."

Summer Breaking Lyrics

Driving through Ghost-town
Metal horses a thousand feet high
Orange sky

Pulling your top down
In the back of some pretty boy's ride
You get high

Avenues
Empty as .44 clips
Cargo ships, teen zombies ghost-riding their whips
(See how they play)

You're always Summer Breaking
Running wild in the streets after dark
You're always summer breaking
Hanging out with the boys in the park
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need someone to break your fall)

Give him a haircut
In the old kitchen chair in your yard
Saint Delilah

He thinks you care
Does he know you're too bright and too hard
Like a diamond

Play your game
Play him the way you played me
Be the girl you pretend to pretend not to be
(See how they play)

You're always summer breaking
Running wild in the street after dark
You're always summer breaking
Hanging round with the boys in the park
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need someone)
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need something)
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need someone to break your fall)

Summer Breaking Song Chart

Michael Chabon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist behind 2000's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, wrote the majority of Uptown Special's lyrics. Ronson told The Sun that he recruited Chabon for the album after he, "wrote a really nice letter." He explained: "I first met Michael after I went to a book signing. He did for his book Telegraph Avenue."

"He recognized me and told me he liked some of my music, Ronson continued. "So a year later, I wrote him a letter and luckily, I caught him at a time when it wasn't too crazy."

This song took four drafts to get right. "He's one of the great living American novelists and it's tough to be like, 'Uh, we don't really like this one, could we try it again?'" Ronson told Billboard magazine.

Uptown Special was written and produced with producer Jeff Bhasker. "I sought Jeff Bhasker out because I loved the song 'Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart' that he wrote and produced for Alicia Keys," Ronson explained to The Guardian. "Plus I also dug all his chords and synths on Kanye's 808's & Heartbreak. In his music, I could hear someone who equally loved hip-hop, Earth Wind & Fire and even a bit of weird prog. He's also a Berklee-trained jazz pianist... needless to say, a major dude."

This song came about when Ronson met Bhasker in his house in Venice, LA to start working on the album. "One night, he left early and I wrote the chords and melody to this song," said Ronson. "It's something way more complex than anything I've done before, I don't really even know the names of the chords – they just sort of came out of me. I think I was trying to write something I thought would impress Jeff, because I wanted him to think I was good or worthy or something as it was early on. Michael then wrote the lyrics and Kevin [Parker, vocalist] made it cool."

The song is sung by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, one of three Uptown Special tracks that features his vocals. Ronson told The Guardian how the collaboration with the Australian came about. "I loved their band and would always see them play in London. We talked about doing some kind of side project, which never materialized," he said. "And then [Kevin] sent me this demo of a funk record he'd been working on. It didn't even have a name and it was just so cool."

"When I started working on my album, I had some ideas for some songs and kept hearing his voice in my head," Ronson continued. "I asked if he would come down to Memphis and just hang out. Obviously he's in one of the biggest bands in the world; they're always touring and I think their album had just been named in every single best album of the year list. So for him to take a week out of his life to come to Memphis was pretty awesome."

"Not only did he sing the songs," he added, "just having him around – the way he plays drums, his voice on background harmonies, all the little touches that he added – just made everything a little bit cooler and better."

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of Lyrics

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
And through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping
For me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass It's just a moment
This time will pass

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of Song Chart

This is about Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of INXS who killed himself in 1997. He and Bono were close friends, and even discussed the topic of suicide.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Bono said that he and Hutchence, discussed suicide in the past: "We discussed suicide a few times and we both agreed how pathetic it was." He said they had 'kinda promised each other' neither would ever kill themselves.

Bono (from Rolling Stone): "It's a row between mates. You're kinda trying to wake them up out of an idea. In my case it's a row I didn't have while he was alive. I feel the biggest respect I could pay to him was not to write some stupid soppy f--king song, so I wrote a really tough, nasty little number, slapping him around the head. And I'm sorry, but that's how it came out of me." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

Mick Jagger and his 16 year-old daughter, Elizabeth, came to their Dublin studio and sang backup on this. U2 decided to go another direction with the song and did not use their tracks.

The band sent Jagger a copy of his version of this, and thanked him and his daughter in the album's liner notes.

The video, directed by Joseph Kahn, was shot in Berlin while the band was between tour dates. It showed them in a stadium watching an American Football game. U2 performed at the Super Bowl a few months later. Kahn also directed "Elevation," which featured a battle between good U2 and evil U2.

This got a lot of airplay when terrorists struck America in 2001. Los Angeles radio station KIIS produced a version featuring bits of President Bush's speeches mixed in with the lyrics.

An acoustic version was included on a 2002 album of rarities called U2 7, which was distributed through Target stores.

This won the 2001 Grammy for Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group With Vocal. It was the first award given out on the show, which U2 opened with a performance of "Walk On."

When Apple Computer started their online music store in 2003, an acoustic version of this was offered as an exclusive to the service. It was the #1 downloaded song the first week of the service.

Leaving Los Feliz Lyrics

I'm on the guest list down at Paul's Baby Grand
That hipster doorman he don't know who I am
But my studied aloofness is proof I belong so I pass

Some girls are pieced like Krylon bombs on the walls
Some cut the line to cut the lines in the stalls
On the floor is the border between paradise and the fall

I'm Leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm over the scenesters
I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm leaving Los Feliz

I cruise the room without attracting a glance
My Ksubi jeans are more like armor than pants
But I don't want to go just yet so I suppose I should dance

The music wobbles between rapture and dread
Like a divine name that can never be said
And I shoot a pretend documentary inside my head

I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm over the scenesters
I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm leaving Los Feliz

I'm young enough to know I'm too young to quit
I'm old enough to want to get over it
But the yearning is timeless and mine is as deep as the pit

I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm over the scenesters
I'm leaving Los Feliz
Day after tomorrow
I'm leaving Los Feliz

Leaving Los Feliz Song Chart

Many of the lyrics for Uptown Special were written by Michael Chabon, the author of Wonder Boys and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. Chabon fully immersed himself in the album's creation, often working with Ronson and the vocalists in the recording studio. With this song, he wrote three completely different sets of lyrics till he hit on something that he felt worked. "It was a different creative process from writing my books, primarily because it is so collaborative and that was the beautiful thing about it for me," Chabon told The Observer. "I will lean more towards the wistful, melancholy regretful note in my lyrics and Mark tends to favor the more optimistic lyrics - that tension, if you will, proved really fruitful."

Los Feliz is an affluent, hilly neighborhood in the district of Hollywood, City of Los Angeles, California. The neighborhood is named after its colonial Spanish-Mexican land grantee, José Vicente Feliz. Along with present-day Griffith Park, it makes up the original Rancho Los Feliz concession, one of the first land grants made in California.

Mark Ronson explained Michael Chabon's lyrics to The Guardian: "Los Feliz is an artsy/hipster/musician-y area of Los Angeles. This song is about an aging hipster who doesn't want to admit that he's too old to still be going to the party. It's not semi-autobiographical at all. At all."

Ronson says this song is "about how lonely a giant nightclub can be." Since he's a DJ at heart and wants to hear the latest sounds, he does still go to clubs, but acts his age when he's there.

The Last Time Lyrics

Well I told you once and I told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should be easy

Well this could be The Last Time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know, oh no, oh no

Well, I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
Feelin' like I do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know, oh no, oh no

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know, oh no, oh no

Well I told you once and I told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here's a chance to change your mind
'Cause I'll be gone a long, long time

Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know, oh no, oh no

Last time baby
To say no more
Baby I don't know
Well I don't know
Well, I don't know
I don't know
Well, I don't know

The Last Time Song Chart

This was inspired by a 1955 Gospel song called "This May Be The Last Time" by The Staple Singers. The Stones changed the meaning of the song, making it into a stern message to a girl. The Staples version had a more uplifting message and was much more spiritual.
Many Gospel fans felt The Stones ripped it off, since The Staple Singers never got any royalties from it. Since it is a traditional song (meaning no one owns the rights to it), many artists have recorded it, but The Stones were a very high-profile band that had success reworking songs by black artists into hits. Many people believe The Stones should have compensated The Staple Singers because it was based on their version of the song.

In the 2003 book According to the Rolling Stones , Keith Richards wrote: "We didn't find it difficult to write pop songs, but it was VERY difficult - and I think Mick will agree - to write one for the Stones. It seemed to us it took months and months and in the end we came up with The Last Time, which was basically re-adapting a traditional Gospel song that had been sung by the Staple Singers, but luckily the song itself goes back into the mists of time. I think I was trying to learn it on the guitar just to get the chords, sitting there playing along with the record, no gigs, nothing else to do. At least we put our own stamp on it, as the Staple Singers had done, and as many other people have before and since: they're still singing it in churches today. It gave us something to build on to create the first song that we felt we could decently present to the band to play... The Last Time was kind of a bridge into thinking about writing for the Stones. It gave us a level of confidence; a pathway of how to do it. And once we had done that we were in the game. There was no mercy, because then we had to come up with the next one. We had entered a race without even knowing it." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This song did have some clear antecedents in black American music, in particular the 1964 James Brown single "Maybe the Last Time," which was itself based on ideas found in a traditional gospel song that had been recorded, but not written, by the Staple Singers. Some have accused the Stones of literally stealing from their black heroes, but "The Last Time" is clearly different from and more rock-oriented than the tracks recorded by James Brown and the Staple Singers, although there are some similarities in approach and the use of the title lyric. (thanks, Joel - Chicago, IL)

The Stones recorded this in Los Angeles on a one day tour stopover on their way to Australia. The Stones were on a grueling American tour, but in order to capitalize on their success they wanted to keep cranking out singles, especially in England because they were not there. As a result, they frequently recorded in between American shows.

Phil Spector assisted with the production. You can hear his "Wall Of Sound" approach on the recording.

The opening guitar riff repeats throughout the song. This was an innovative device for a pop song at the time.

A 1997 song called "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve sampled an obscure orchestral version of this track. The Stones' former manager Allen Klein, who owns the publishing rights to The Stones version of "The Last Time," received extensive royalties, as "Bittersweet Symphony" was a radio hit and even used in a Nike commercial.

This was the first song Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote that was an A-side single. The Stones played a lot of covers before they learned to write songs.

The Who recorded this in 1967 as a show of support when The Stones were being held in England on drug charges.

Wild Angels Lyrics

Between the perfect world and the bottom line
Keeping love alive in these troubled times
It's a miracle in itself
And we know too well what that's about
Still we made it through, only God knows how
We must've had a little help
(Must've been)

[Chorus]
Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Watching over you and me
Wild Angels, Wild Angels
Baby what else could it be

Well it must've been hard, it must've been tough
Keeping up with crazy fools like us
'Cause it's so easy to fall apart
And we still break each other's heart sometimes
Spent some nights on the jagged side
Somehow we wake up in each other's arms
(Must've been)

[Chorus]

There are some nights
I watch you while you dream
I swear I hear the sound of beating wings

[Chorus]

Wild Angels Song Chart

This Matraca Berg, Gary Harrison and Harry Stinson penned cut was released on November 20, 1995 as the second single from McBride's album of the same name. The song topped the country chart, giving McBride her first ever #1.

The song is about a female deciding there must be "wild angels" watching over her and her man, which are keeping their love alive. Matraca Berg told The Boot the story of how the three songwriters crafted the hit. "I started it with Harry. I don't know what we were smoking that day, but it was a very lofty, kind of poetic, lyric. I heard it [recently] and thought, 'What was I thinking?'"

"We demoed it, and every time Pat [Higdon, my publisher] would play it for somebody, they would say, 'What does this mean'" I knew that the lyric was off, but they loved the music, they loved the title."

Matraca Berg and Harry Stinson brought in Gary Harrison for the rewrite. "It was just so simple," said Berg. "[He said], "You say, 'Wild angels, wild angels' — what's this other thing, 'Blue horses'?" And after we got that figured out, Martina snatched it up."

"Gary gave me an epiphany with that song," she added: "Get them a good, kick-ass chorus, and you can write whatever you want to in the verses."

That's McBride's daughter, Delaney, who was born in December 1994, that can be heard laughing in the song's intro.

Thom Oliphant directed the music video, which finds McBride singing on top of the Clock Tower Building in Brooklyn, New York, while an angel touches the lives of people below. The concept and black-and-white visuals were inspired by the 1987 Wim Wenders film Wings of Desire, about an angel who falls in love with a human woman.

The shoot was a precarious one, as Oliphant explained to Songfacts : "Up there, it's pretty dangerous. There's nothing to keep you from stepping off the side of the building. For every shot of somebody, from Martina sitting on the side to the extras, there's three guys with safety harnesses crouched behind the ledge making sure that those people are attached to a bungee cord."

He would return to the location the following year to shoot Amy Grant's "Takes a Little Time" video.

Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadow? Lyrics

Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow?
I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice

Have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
Well I was just passing the time
I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine?

Tell me a story about how you adore me
Live through the shadow, see through the shadow,
Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow
Hate in the shadow, love in the shadow life

Have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have they had another baby, standing in the shadow?
Where have you been all your life?
Talking about all the people who would try anything twice

Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Has she had another baby, standing in the shadow?

The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline

Keith Richards: "You must listen to it and place your own interpretation on the lyric. There is no attempt to present a controversial 'Mother' theme." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The American single had a picture of The Stones in women's clothes on the sleeve. After the photo session, they kept their costumes on and went to a bar in New York.

A promotional video was made for this, featuring the Stones in drag. This was one of the first music videos.

This was the first Stones song that used a brass section.

There is guitar feedback at the beginning and end. The Beatles had used feedback before, but it was still a new technique.

Keith Richards: "I liked the track, I hated the mix. Mainly because there was a fantastic mix of the thing, which was just right. But because they were in a rush and they needed to edit it down for the Ed Sullivan Show, the mix was rushed and the essential qualities of it, for me, disappeared. Just because of the lack of time. It needed another couple weeks. The rhythm section is almost lost completely." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This was the first Stones song released in the US and England at the same time.

The B-side of the single was Who's "Driving Your Plane?" Both sides of the single are questions.

When The Stones performed this on The Ed Sullivan Show, guitarist Brian Jones wore a cast on his hand. It was rumored that he got the injury when he punched a wall.

Glyn Johns, who engineered the "As Tears Go By" session in 1965, engineered this song as well. This led to more work with The Stones, recording the live album Got Live If You Want It! in the fall of 1966 and then engineering the London Between The Buttons sessions in November of that year. He was used as chief engineer for the producer-less Their Satanic Majesties Request in 1967, after which he suggested to the Rolling Stones that they use Jimmy Miller as their next producer. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Mike Leander arranged the horns. He also did the horns on The Stones "As Tears Go By" and wrote the score for the Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

Bassist Shane Embury penned this song. He explained: "Musically I wanted this track to encompass lots of different rhythms and nuances in the short space of time which the song occupies, which I hope we achieve, and that it bursts with an intensity and emotion to match the theme of the lyrics!"

"Lyrically, it's a departure from the rest of the new album as its self-reflective," Embury added. "A couple of years ago I was hospitalized prior to a very important tour and was forced to miss out on going and had to stay at home. More importantly, I realized in the time I was in hospital that I really had to make a choice which was either to carry on down the same path of selfish destruction as I had seen some of my friends embark on or stay around for the people I loved and who loved me. Yes, it's a familiar story, no doubt. but it was an awakening for me, which I very much needed and shortly after I was blessed with the birth of my daughter, so I am glad I made the right decision."

Paint It Black Lyrics

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I want to see your face painted black, black as night, black as coal
Don't want to see the sun, flying high in the sky
I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yea

This is written from the viewpoint of a person who is depressed; he wants everything to turn black to match his mood. There was no specific inspiration for the lyrics. When asked at the time why he wrote a song about death, Mick Jagger replied: "I don't know. It's been done before. It's not an original thought by any means. It all depends on how you do it."

The song seems to be about a lover who died:

"I see a line of cars and they're all painted black" - The hearse and limos.

"With flowers and my love both never to come back" - The flowers from the funeral and her in the hearse. He talks about his heart being black because of his loss.

"I could not foresee this thing happening to you" - It was an unexpected and sudden death.

"If I look hard enough into the setting sun, my love will laugh with me before the morning comes" - This refers to her in Heaven. (thanks, Daryn - Mays Landing, NJ)

The Rolling Stones wrote this as a much slower, conventional soul song. When Bill Wyman began fooling around on the organ during the session doing a takeoff of their original as a spoof of music played at Jewish weddings. Co-manager Eric Easton (who had been an organist), and Charlie Watts joined in and improvised a double-time drum pattern, echoing the rhythm heard in some Middle Eastern dances. This new more upbeat rhythm was then used in the recording as a counterpoint to the morbid lyrics.

Stones guitarist Brian Jones played the sitar on this track. He made good television by balancing the instrument on his lap during appearances.

Keith Richards: "We were in Fiji for about three days. They make sitars and all sorts of Indian stuff. Sitars are made out of watermelons or pumpkins or something smashed so they go hard. They're very brittle and you have to be careful how you handle them. We had the sitars, we thought we'd try them out in the studio. To get the right sound on 'Paint It Black' we found the sitar fitted perfectly. We tried a guitar but you can't bend it enough." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This was used as the theme song for Tour Of Duty, a CBS show about the Vietnam War which ran from 1987-1989.

On the single, there is a comma before the word "Black" in the title, rendering it, "Paint It, Black." This of course changes the context, implying that a person named "Black" is being implored to paint. While some fans interpreted this as a statement on race relations, it's far more likely that the rogue comma was the result of a clerical error, something not uncommon in the '60s.

Mick Jagger: "That was the time of lots of acid. It has sitars on it. It's like the beginnings of miserable psychedelia. That's what the Rolling Stones started - maybe we should have a revival of that."

U2 did a cover for the 7" B-side of "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses," and used some of it in live versions of "Bad." Other artists who have covered the song include Deep Purple, Vanessa Carlton , GOB, Tea Party, Jonny Lang, Face to Face, Earth Crisis, W.A.S.P., Rage, Glenn Tipton, Elliott Smith, Eternal Afflict, Anvil, and Risa Song.

Jack Nitzsche played keyboards. Besides working with The Stones, Nitzsche arranged records for Phil Spector and scored many movies. Nitzsche had an unfortunate moment when he appeared on the TV show Cops after being arrested for waving a gun at a guy who stole his hat. He died of a heart attack in 2000 at age 63.

The Stones former manager Allen Klein owned the publishing rights to this song. In 1965, The Stones hired him and signed a deal they would later regret. With Klein controlling their money, The Stones signed over the publishing rights to all the songs they wrote up to 1969. Every time this is used in a commercial or TV show, Klein's estate (he died in 2009) gets paid.

This is featured in the closing credits of the movie The Devil's Advocate. It is also heard at the end of Stanley Kubrick's movie Full Metal Jacket, where it serves as an allegory of the sorrow of the sudden death in the song relating to the emotional death of the men in the film, and of all men in war. (thanks, Joseph - Taree, Australia)

"Paint It Black" was referenced in the second verse of the song "Thirteen" by Big Star:

Won't you tell your Dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout "Paint It Black"
Rock 'n' Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's OK
And I'll shake you

(thanks, John - Tipperary, Ireland)

This song was used in the movie Stir Of Echoes with Kevin Bacon. In the movie, Bacon's character hears the first few chords of it in a memory, but could not think of the song. It drives him crazy through most of the movie. (thanks, Mary - Phoenix, AZ)

Talking on his Absolute Radio show, Stones' co-guitarist Ronnie Wood disclosed that Keith Richards has trouble remembering how to play this song. He revealed, "We always have this moment of hesitation where we don't know if Keith's going to get the intro right."

Keith Richards: "What made 'Paint It Black' was Bill Wyman on the organ, because it didn't sound anything like the finished record until Bill said, 'You go like this.'"

Ciara recorded a breathy, stirring cover for the 2015 movie, The Last Witch Hunter. The R&B star told Rolling Stone that it was a surprise for her when she got the call from Universal Publishing and Lionsgate to record the tune. "When they asked me to do this, I was like, 'Absolutely. This would be an honor,'" she said. "I had never thought to cover this song. It was never on my radar to cover it, but when the opportunity came along, I was very thrilled, because I love what the producer Adrianne Gonzales did."

"The direction that she went in was actually a sound I've always wanted to play with, and it just didn't get any better than being able to cover a Rolling Stones song," Ciara continued. "I feel like it pushes the edge and the limit for me, in reference to what people probably expect from me. So this was so many cool things in one. It was a huge honor, and then creatively I just got to really have some fun that I don't usually do in my music."

Lit Like Bic Lyrics

Drinkin' on somethin'
Man I gotta be drinkin' on somethin'
Just chillin' with me, what the hell you doin' smokin' on green
Gotta be drinkin' on somethin'
I'm smokin' on somethin', try to go pop on somethin'
I ain't trippin' man, I don't give a fuck if it's your girl
Man she drinkin' on somethin', smokin' on somethin'
Have you smokin' on somethin'

Lit, lit, lit, Lit Like Bic
SremmLife shit, bendin' by 6
2 by 2, 4 by 4
SremmLife shit, don't answer that door

Neighbors keep knockin', bitches keep watchin'
Hoes keep jockin', but the money keep flockin'
They wishin' we was floppin', I can see it on their faces
I can point at different bitches and I bet they all from different places
Look at all this money, lit, lit, lit
SremmLife shit, poppin' chapstick
Pop a bad bitch, I'm so grown
Brand new car, I'm so on
Yeah nigga what, all my niggas rich
All my bitches rich too, so you need a key to come visit
New life shit, test this cup
Test this cup, do it for us
Four eyed, damn, I'm twisted bad, I can feel it
Aquafina water, go ahead and peel it
Go ahead and peel it, do it if you dare
I just wanna lay it down and run my fingers right through her hair
Remove her underwear, lick, lick, lick
Lit sex yes, she show chest
Breathe in deep, geeked all week
Sunday night, Sunday fight
Argue, don't wanna argue
How could you think that I would ever leave you?
I see right through you
Get money with the same crew
I fuck the same hoes like you
Switch 'em out once a week, I'm cool
That's mid, I'm cool
Midnight crew, paint the Maserati midnight blue
Money pool, I'm 'bout to swim right through
Who are you?

Who said they got that stanky loud? I wanna smell it
You say you run your fuckin' town, I let you tell it
Who really run the underground? I wanna meet you
I'm really tryna bite the style, you know we see you
Before I let my whole hood down I'll bring my team up
You say you run your fuckin' town, we need to link up
I came from that dirty town, look how I clean up
I came from that dirty town, look how I clean up
Lit, lit, like Jeeper's Creepers, wild boy in a wife beater
Hoppin' out of that two seater, doot doot, that's a new Beamer
Bad bitches come see Jimmy, just might leave a tip with you
Lit, lit, might spend a ticket, see if these red bottoms fit you
I'm doin' numbers, Sremm goin' bonkers
Blasts bustin', better run for cover
Drapped up, I might run for governor
I need bottles here on the double
I need bitches here on the double
I need condoms here on the double
Face Sremm and that's double trouble

Lit, lit, lit, lit like Bic
SremmLife shit, bendin' by 6
2 by 2, 4 by 4
SremmLife shit, don't answer that door

Lit Like Bic Song Chart

Rae Sremmurd is a Mississippi-bred hip-hop duo comprised of Swae Lee and Slim Jimmy. This is the opening track of their debut album, SremmLife, which is basically a freestyle. Swae Lee told Complex magazine: "Everything just be fun that we do. Everything just be fire. Having fun is lit. Lit like Bic, everything flames. It's really a freestyle. I just went in there one take. Jimmy just went in there one take."

Local producer Backpack supplied the beat. Swae Lee said: "I like the bass on this song. When [our] engineer played [the beat] I was like, 'What the f--k?' We had just did some songs, and he was like, 'I got some beats.' So we heard them with open ears, and they sounded good, and we said, 'Load it up.'"

The montage clip, filmed over the course of a few months, is a doc-style look at Slim Jimmy and Swae Lee's predilection for living it up. Justin Beiber, Mike WiLL Made It, 2 Chainz, Miley Cyrus and Jimmy Fallon are just some of the famous people who show up in the video.
