Start Me Up (2021 Remaster)

If you start me up
If you start me up, I'll never stop
You can start me up
You can start me up, I'll never stop

I've been running hot
You got me ticking, gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up, I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop, I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If you start me up
Kick on the starter
Give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it, I can slide it up
Slide it up, slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry

My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine

Start it up
Start me up
Ah, give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Slide it up, woo
Aw baby, just slide it up
Slide it up, slide it up, never, never

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
If you start it up
Love the day and we will never stop, never stop
Never, never, never stop
Start me up
Never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you made a dead man come
You, you made a dead man come

Hang Fire (2021 Remaster)

In the sweet old country where I come from
Nobody ever works
Yeah nothing gets done
We hang fire, we hang fire

You know marrying money is a full time job
I don't need the aggravation
I'm a lazy slob
I hang fire, I hang fire
Hang fire, put it on the wire baby
Hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire baby, go ahead
Hang fire

We've got nothing to eat
We got nowhere to work
Nothing to drink
We just lost our shirts
I'm on the dole
We ain't for hire
Say what the hell
Say what the hell, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire, baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire, baby

Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
Put it on the wire

Little T&A (2021 Remaster)

She's my little rock 'n' roll
She's my little rock 'n' roll baby

The heat's raiding, the tracks is fading
Joint's rocking could be anytime at all
But the bitch keeps bitching
Snitcher keeps snitching
Dropping names and telephone numbers and all

She's my little rock 'n' roll
She's my little rock 'n' roll

The scars healing
But the dealers squealing
The pool's in but the patio ain't dry

Well the sense is sensing
That the juice keeps pumping and I know why

She's my little rock 'n' roll
My tits and ass with soul baby
She's my little rock 'n' roll

She's my little rock 'n' roll

You got to shock them, show them
She's my little rock 'n' roll

Shock, shock, shock, oh my, my, my

Well the sense is sensing
That the juice keeps pumping and I know why

The bitch keeps bitching
Snitcher keeps snitching
Dropping names and telephone numbers and all

She's my little rock 'n' roll
My tits and ass with soul baby
She's my little rock 'n' roll

You got to shock them, show them
She's my little rock 'n' roll
She got a feeling to know, baby
She's my little rock 'n' roll baby
Ah, the little bitch got soul

She's my little rock 'n' roll
She's my little rock 'n' roll
She's my little rock 'n' roll
My tits and ass with soul baby
She's my little rock 'n' roll baby
My tits and ass with soul baby
She's my little rock 'n' roll

Black Limousine (2021 Remaster)

We used to ride, baby
Ride around in limousines
We looked so fine, baby
You in white and me in green
Drinking and dancing
All inside a crazy dream
Well now, look at your face now, baby
Look at you and look at me

I get so scared
Just to see you on the street
They're living dead
You're all the same, you never speak
You're wrecked out now
Washed-up high up on the beach
Well now, look at your face now, baby
Look at you and look at me

Work to it

We used to shine, shine, shine, shine
Say what a pair, say what a team
We used to ride, ride, ride, ride
In a long black limousine
Those dreams are gone, baby
They're locked away and never seen
Well now, look at your face now, baby
Look at you and look at me

Look out, yeah

Neighbours (2021 Remaster)

Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors
Neighbors, have I got neighbors?
Have I got neighbors?
All day and all night

Neighbors
Have I got neighbors?
Ringing my doorbells
All day and all night

Ladies, have I got crazies?
Scheming young babies
No piece and no quiet
I got T.V.'s, saxophone playing
Groaning and straining
With the trouble and strife

Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
That we fuss and fight

Neighbors, do unto strangers
Do unto neighbors
What you do to yourself, yourself, yourself, yourself, yourself

Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
That we fuss and fight

Neighbors do unto strangers
Do unto neighbors what you do to yourself
Yourself, yourself, yourself
Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors, neighbors

Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors, neighbors
Neighbors, do yourself a favor
Don't you mess with my baby
When I'm working all night
You know that neighbors
Steal off my table
Steal off my table
And do alright, alright, alright, alright

Neighbors do unto strangers
Do unto strangers
What you do to yourself, yourself, yourself, yourself
You're, you're, you're, you're, you're
You're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're alright

Waiting On A Friend (2021 Remaster)

Watching girls passing by, it ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls passing by, the tales they tell of men

I need someone to protect

But I'm not waiting on a lady

I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Waiting on a friend

I'm just waiting on a friend, waiting on a friend

Fiji Jim

I want more Fiji Gin, but full name is Billy Dean
Tell him to bring his electric guitar, 'cause a poor boy goin' insane

Took myself about 55 jars, 6-pack more a champagne

Better watch out for the split-side Anna, Fistford is out for a raid
Call me up and feed to 21st floor, the poor chicks go insane

His brain is shred, his nose is bled, but his hands, they sure could play

Better watch out for the curse-i-anna, come on Billy Dean
Come on bring your electric guitar 'cause these boys are just gonna play
Come on down Miss Sus-i-anna, Figi Jim's gonna rein

Nothing seems to be going right
What a shame
Nothing seems to be going right
It seems easy to me that everything can be alright

What a shame

Well alright

What a shame
You all heard what I said
What a shame

You might wake up in the morning
And find your poor self dead

Drift Away

Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light
Through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away

Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now I'm counting on you
To carry me through

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away



And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you're given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Your rythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' me strong

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away
Na, na, now won't ya
Won't ya take, oh ha ...take me

Its a Lie

People say they saw me in Africa
Out in the bush, shooting lions
Flew on up, Nigeria
Posted the heads on line

And I heard that you got a new baby
With an old friend of mine
He's an MBA, yeah, he's a billionaire, you've been
Totally redesigned

Well, it's a lie
It's a lie
It's a low down, dirty lie
Don't make me laugh
Don't make me cry

Well, yeah, it's a lie
It's a lie
It's a low down, vicious lie
Yeah
Don't make me laugh
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry

All summer long, I've been in Italy
Tippin' and downin' the wine
On the run with a different duchess every night

But my only lover came from antiquity
Found her on a building sign
She's got no head, she's cut from marble, so white

Well, it's a lie
It's a lie
I've been questioned by the FBI
I've got a clean sheet, hung over my head
Holdin' it high

Well, it's a lie
It's a lie
It's a low down, dirty lie
Don't make me laugh
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry

Well, I just heard, I'm getting married
'Round about the 4th of July
Honeymoon in Hawaii, put it in your diary
Don't forget your black tie

Well, it's a lie
It's a lie
I swear it on my mother's life
My conscience is clear, I've got nothing to hide
Nothing to hide

Well, it's a lie
It's a lie
Well, it's a low down, dirty lie
Don't make me laugh
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry

Stole an election, took her to a fence
Tried to get the highest price
The whole thing is passé, we'll pull it all in, babe
Should've took my lawyer's advice

It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a low down, dirty lie
Don't make me laugh, don't make me cry

Well
It's a lie
It's a lie
A vicious, despicable lie
Don't make me laugh
Don't make me cry, yeah

Come to the Ball

You look so statuesque
In your soft lip with dress
Out of silver, not gold
And the way, the way that you
Are bold

Oh, how
It's tawdry you know
But it's a dance in the corridor, cold

The paintings cover up the walls
Well, come to the dance
Come to the ball

Are you hungry?
I got plenty to eat
Something strange
That tastes bitter and sweet

It's gonna get cold
Before it gets warm
Come to the dance
Come to the ball

Can we be together?
Can it be forever?
Just our night

The big room ain't been
Stepped in for years
But a soft song playing
There were no cheers

Big love at some of the shows
Well, come to the dance
Come to the ball

You wanna play games
Or you wanna talk?
It's gonna get cold
Before it gets warm

Come to the dance
Come to the ball
Come to the dance

You wanna play games
Or you wanna talk?
Come to the dance
Come to the ball

Come to the dance

Under My Thumb

Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around

It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears

Are still surviving on the street
Look at me, I'm in tatters!

Shattered

Friends are so alarming
My lover's never charming

Ringing my doorbells
All day and all night

Scheming young babies
No piece and no quiet

Black Limousine

We used to ride, baby
Ride around in limousines
We looked so fine, baby
You in white and me in green
Drinking and dancing
All inside a crazy dream
Well now, look at your face now, baby
Look at you and look at me

I get so scared
Just to see you on the street
They're living dead
You're all the same, you never speak
You're wrecked out now
Washed-up high up on the beach
Well now, look at your face now, baby
Look at you and look at me

Work to it

We used to shine, shine, shine, shine
Say what a pair, say what a team
We used to ride, ride, ride, ride
In a long black limousine
Those dreams are gone, baby
They're locked away and never seen
Well now, look at your face now, baby
Look at you and look at me

Look out, yeah

Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)

I look out my window and watch her as she passes by
I said to myself I'm such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her it's a dream come true
And of all the girls in New York she loves me true

It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

Soon you and me will be married and raise a family
Two boys for you, what about two girls for me
I tell you that I, I am just a fellow with a one track mind
Whatever it is I want baby I seek and I shall find
I'll tell ya

It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

Every night I hope and pray
Dear Lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or I will surely die

Her love is ecstasy
When her arms enfold me
I hear her tender rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn't even know me

It was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

Twenty Flight Rock

Oh I get a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We go to dance on Saturday night
I'm all alone and I hold her tight
But she live on the twentieth floor in town
The elevator's broken down

So I walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Well she called me up on the telephone
Said "come on over, baby, I'm all alone"
I said "baby, you're mighty sweet
But I'm in bed with the achin' feet"
This went on for a couple of days
But I could not stay away

So I walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Yeah, we sent to Chicago for repairs
Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs
I love you, baby, want to see your face
I love you baby, too much to wait
All this climbing is gettin' me down
They'll find my cold feet over the rail

So I walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Let Me Go

You're gonna get it straight from the shoulder
Can't you see the party's over
Let me go

Can't you get it through your thick head
This affair is finished dead
Hey, let me go

I tried giving you the velvet gloves
I tried giving you the knockout punch
Hey, let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

I find it hard to be cruel
I find it hard to be cruel
With a smile, don't you?
You'll never find that perfect love
That you read about that you dream about

Maybe I'll become a playboy
Hang around in gay bars
And move to the west side of town

You're gonna get it straight from the shoulder
Can't you see the party's over
Hey, let me go
Let me go

So you think I'm giving you the brush off
Well I'm just telling you to shove off
Hey, let me, let me go

This ain't no time to waste my breath
We're going into sudden death
Hey, let me go

Can't you get it through your thick head
This affair is dead as a doornail
Hey, baby won't you let me go

The bell has rung, and I've called time
The chair is on the table, out the door baby
Baby won't you let me go
Let me go
Baby won't you let me go
Let me go

Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

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 would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, 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 sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception

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 fifty-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

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
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah

Miss You

I've been holdin' out so long
I've been sleepin' all alone
Lord, I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you sometime

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starrin' in my dreams
Lord, I miss you, child
I've been waitin' in the hall
Been waitin' on your call
Your phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say
"Hey, what's the matter, man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that's just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"

Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah

Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby, why you wait so long?
Won't you come on, come on

I've been walking Central Park
Singin' after dark
People think I'm crazy
Stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you, boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to, to myself
Sometimes I say

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I won't miss you, child

I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord, I won't miss you, child
You've just been blottin' out my mind
Foolin' on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child

Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah
Lord, I miss you, child
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah
Lord, I miss you, child
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah

Honky Tonk Women

I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across shoulder
'Cause 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 divorcée 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

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 the honky tonk blues

Brown Sugar

Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doin' all right
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should

Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doin' all right
You should have heard him just around midnight

Brown sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should

Brown sugar, how come you dance so good
Brown sugar, just like a black girl should

I bet your mama was a Cajun Queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no school boy but I know what I like
You should have heard them just around midnight

Brown sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown sugar, just like a black girl should

I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you, how come you dance so good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a, just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

Start Me Up

If you start me up
If you start me up, I'll never stop
You can start me up
You can start me up, I'll never stop

I've been running hot
You got me ticking, gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up, I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop, I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If you start me up
Kick on the starter
Give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it, I can slide it up
Slide it up, slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry

My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine

Start it up
Start me up
Ah, give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Slide it up, woo
Aw baby, just slide it up
Slide it up, slide it up, never, never

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
If you start it up
Love the day and we will never stop, never stop
Never, never, never stop
Start me up
Never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you made a dead man come
You, you made a dead man come

Jumpin' Jack Flash

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at the morning 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 (ooh)

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

I was crowned with a spike right through my head, my, my, yeah
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, it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, it's a gas

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm driving in my car
When a man come on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' 'round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me
Baby, better come back maybe next week
Can't you see I'm on a losing streak?
I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction
I can't get no
