    sympathy for the devil (Lyrics...)

    hey, i love the lyrics to this song (i didnt post all of the whoo whooo's and stuff haha). whats your take on this song and your opinion of the lyrics. This post prob wont get a lot of responses though lol bc its pretty long. DL this song by the stones!! whats your opinion on the lyrics.



    Please allow me to introduce myself
    I'm a man of wealth and taste
    I've been around for a long long year stolen many a man's soul and faith
    I was around Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain
    Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate
    Please to meet you hope you guess my name
    But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

    Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
    Killed the Czar and his ministers; Anastaria screamed in vain
    I rode a tank held a gen'rals rank when the blitzkrieg
    raged and the bodies stank
    Please to meet you hope your guess my name, oh yeah
    Ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah

    I watched the glee while your kings and queens fought for
    ten decades for the Gods they made
    I shouted out "who killed the Kennedy's?" when after all it was you and me
    Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste
    And I lay traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay

    Please to meet you hope you guess my name, oh yeah
    But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah

    Please to meet you hope you guess my name
    But what's confusin you is just the nature of my game

    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

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

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

    Woo, who
    Oh yeah, get on down
    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah!

    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


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

    Sounds like the words of soldiers or fighters at different times/centuries/decades.

    Maybe the words are the actions of Satan's evil doings....

    Which are human beings actions in reality though.

    If you've ever seen the intended sleeve art for Beggar's Banquet, (the grafitti one, not the one that's actually on the old albums) you may suspect the song was in essence about spouting off a lot of shocking stuff like a spoiled child, in order to get some attention. I always thought of Mick Jagger as a sort of broken-clock-genious; dead on twice a day, a little off all the rest of the time. Prior to Beggar's Banquet, Their Satanic Majesties' Request was released. I get the impression when I listen to it that they owed the record label an album they weren't quite ready to do, got into some really bad acid, regurgitated a lot of muck that resembled music in many ways, and laughed all the way to the bank.

    Always thought that Parachute Woman was a better song.

    that was my favorite song for awhile. I take it as the devil being present in some of the worst things in history. I almost like dear doctor just as much.

    Or perhaps people tend to blame bad times on the devil, instead of on the bad people who caused them? Just a thought.
