Lyrics


1. JUMPIN'JACK FLASH




I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash



2. CAROL



Oh, Carol

Don't let him steal your heart away

I'm gonna learn to dance

If it takes me all night and day


Climb into my machine so we can groove on out

I know some swinging little joint where we can jump and shout

It's not too far back on the highway not so long a ride

You park the car out in the open you can walk inside

A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am

'Cause every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed


Oh, Carol

Don't let him steal your heart away

I'm gonna learn to dance

If it takes me all night and day


Now, if you want to hear some music like the boys are playing

Hold tight, bang your foot don't let it carry you away

Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud

Won't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd

Well you can't dance I know you would you could

I got my eyes on you, baby, cause you dance so good


Oh, Carol

Don't let him steal your heart away

I'm gonna learn to dance

If it takes me all night and day


Oh, Carol

Don't let him steal your heart away

I've got to learn to dance

If it takes me all night and day





3. STRAY CAT BLUES




I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs

I know you're no scare-eyed honey.

There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs

But it's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime


I can see that you're fifteen years old

No I don't want your I.D.

You look so rest-less and you're so far from home

But it's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime


Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that

Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

Bet your mama don't know you scream like that

I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that.


You look so weird and you're so far from home

But you don't really miss your mother

Don't look so scared I'm no mad-brained bear

But it's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime

Oh, yeah

Woo!


I bet your mama don't know that you scatch like that

I bet she don't know you can bite like that.


You say you got a friend, that she's wilder than you

Why don't you bring her upstairs

If she's so wild then she can join in too

It's no hanging matter

It's no capital crime


Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that

Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat

I bet you mama don't know you can bite like that

I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back



4. 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



5. 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!





6. SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL


Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(woo woo, woo woo)

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
(who who, who who)

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
(woo woo, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(who who, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(woo woo, who who)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(who who, who who)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
(woo woo, woo woo)

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
(woo woo)

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Woo woo
Woo woo




7. 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?




8. LITTLE QUEENIE





I got the lumps in my throat

When I saw her coming down the aisle

I gets the wiggles in my knees

When she looked at me and sweetly smiled



There she is again standing over by the record machine

Oooh, she's looking like a model on the cover of a magazine

Why she's too cute to be a minute over seventeen



Meanwhile, I was thinking

She's in the mood

No need to break it

I got the chance

I oughtta take it

She can dance

We can make it

Come on queenie

Let's shake it


Go, go, go, Little Queenie

Go, go, go, Little Queenie

Go, go, go, Little Queenie


Won't ya tell me who the queen's

Standing over by the record machine

Why she's looking like a model

On the cover of a magazine

Yeah she's too cute to be a minute over seventeen


Meanwhile, I was still thinkin'

If it's a slow song, we'll omit it

If it's a rocker, that'll get it

If it's good, she'll admit it

Come on queenie, lets get with it


Go, go, go, Little Queenie

Go, go, go, Little Queenie

Go, go, go, Little Queenie





9. HONKY TONT WOMEN




I met a gin soked bar room queen in memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her sholders
cause I just can't seem to drink her off my mind

Shes a Hooooonky tonk woman
gimmie gimmie gimmie that honky tonk love

I layed her some folks say in New York city
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady then she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind




10.STREET FIGHTING MAN



Ev'rywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting
in the street boy
But what can a poor boy do except to sing for a
Rock'N'Roll Band 'cause in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man! No!

Hey! Think the time is right for a Palace Revolution
But where I live the game to play is Compromise Solution!
Well then what can a poor boy do except to sing for a
Rock'N'Roll Band 'cause in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man! No!

Hey! Said my name is called Disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the King I'll rail at all his servants
Well then what can a poor boy do except to sing for a
Rock'N'Roll Band 'cause in sleepy London Town
There's just no place for Street Fighting Man! No!

Shes a Hooooonky tonk woman
gimmie gimmie gimmie that honky tonk love
