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 nameMyMARYJANE Reviewed by MyMARYJANE on . 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.

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.
