Isn't this the best song on Keith's ol' standby Talk Is Cheap?
I was mulling over why the worst song on the album was also its biggest hit - "Take It So Hard" - and I decided it was probably the most '80s' sounding of all of 'em. Which says a lot about the 80s.
But why wasn't this one, "I Could Have Stood You Up", released as the single?
Well, I guess my real question is... what are the lyrics? Is that really Keith just blasting out "Sucks my dick!" in a song that Elvis would have felt at home in?

I love the whole album.
But I think he's actually saying, "Shucks my dear."

Keith is definitely saying "suck my dick, gonna get a lcik from you" on Could Have Stood You Up. But, in puritain America this isn't allowed, so the lyrics read officially "shuck my dear".

Talk is Keith�s musical bequest as a solo artist. Main Offender is pure crap instead. |

Do you have this in print from an offical source? Or is this just your opinion?

I actually like Main Offender, quite a bit. It's got some great numbers on it, like "999", "Wicked As It Seems", "Hate It When You Leave" and "Words Of Wonder" - but it's not as consistently good as Talk Is Cheap.

I dont think "Main Offender" has the "edge" that "Talk Is Cheap" had because by that point the stones had reunited and I dont think he felt the need to make a truly, great solo album.
Just my 2 cents worth....

Talk Is Cheap is a great record. Main Offender sounds like songs that were Talk Is Cheap rejects. Not up to par for a guy like Keith. Rather slapdash if you ask me. Take It So Hard was probably picked as the single b/c it sounds like a Stones song. I could easily hear Mick singing that one. |

Fiji Joe: if you LISTEN to the song, you hear what he sais. It's quite easy to hear -it's not like he's trying to cover it up. Official lyrics read "shucks my dear", as official lyrics to Starfucker read "starbucker" and "give way to Steve McQueen".

Love that tune - but, then again, I'm a sucker for a good rockabilly tune. Nice little MT solo on that one, too... |
