J.J.Flash Does anybody agree with me that this song is about heroin or it is cristal clear and obvious and this question is way too stupid?!?

Thanks in advance! A great song I must add. One of Jay's favorites.

Se é o caso, somos dois estúpidos

Saint Sway I always thought the song was more about dealing drugs than doing drugs. Either way, you are right - this song kicks ass!! Best rocker out of the Stones camp in way too many years. Neville tears it up on this one. Those keys and Keefs riffs are an explosive combo!

makin it ... takin it

how much?

give it to me. I'll pay you later.

I got a pocket calculator

nickles and dimes

how much?

a useful member of society. Thats me!

hand over fist. A slap on the wrist.

twenty grand and its pitiful

put your money where your mouth is

nickles and dimes

J.J.Flash Well, I thought "monkey" had something to do with heroin withdrawls. Also, there is the line "that's the best pair of lips I've kissed all night". Not sure though..... bring your thoughts people!

Jair 999

Makin' it, doesn't matter how many

How much
That's all it is ooh
Ninety nine
How much, yahh
Now, ninety nine
You better hack it baby

Yea, my time exploded, space blew up
Need something in my dixie cup
Whoa, let me get it right
There's the best pair of lips I've kissed all night

How much, well give it to me
I'll pay you later
Nine ninety nine
Ohh, I got a pocket calculator
Yeah, wake up, it don't make sense
Nickles and dimes

The lion and the lamb are locked in an embrance
You won't get it till it's in your face
Ohh, I got me out of depper red
Don't panic
Ah, it's where I want to be
Yeah, oh
A useful member of society, huh!
I just need a little of that old money

Gimme ninety nine, yea
Well, I can't shake it off of my back

Price of bullets remains the same

Here we go
Hand over fist, slap on the wrist
Umm, nine nine
That's all I'm askin'for
How much
How much do you want to give
Just a little bit
Nine

I really must avoid that MEG......I don't feel like fighting and trying to convince anybody that my opinion is right and for instance, the most reasonable one..... Jay just feels like making love you know.....

Talking about music and how it makes you feel is much more exciting than trying to solve the World's Problems!
