The Rolling Stones

See if this song doesn't make you "Sway"

The Rolling Stones are responsible for rock fixtures such as "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Start Me Up", and they pretty much defined the lifestyle of the hedonistic rock star which everyone seems to aspire to these days. However I like the Stones best when they step out of their stage personas, for example on "Salt of the Earth" or "Moonlight Mile". Songs like that are almost as if, after the arena concert, you went camping with the group out in the desert and Keith Richards was pickin' his guitar under the moonlight. And the song I showcase here, is when you wake up the next morning and realize you have to go back to work tomorrow.

"Sway" by The Rolling Stones

Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind ?
Destroyed your notion of circular time ...
It's just that mean ol' world has got you in its sway
It's just that mean ol' world has got you in its sway

Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground
For all my friends out on the burial ground
Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down

It's just that mean ol' world forgot me in its sway
It's just that mean ol' world forgot me in its sway

There must be ways to find out
Love is the way they say is really strutting out

Hey, hey, hey now
One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah

It's just that mean ol' world has got me in its sway
It's just that mean ol' world has got me in its sway

It's just that mean ol' world has got me in its sway
It's just that mean ol' world has got me...

It's just that mean ol' world has got me...

And thereby avoid having the Rolling Stones sue me.
