JaggerLips The Back of My Hand
Courtesy of JaggerLips

I hear a preacher on the corner
Ranting like a crazy man
This is the trouble
Troubles are coming
I can read it like the back of my hand

I see love, I see misery
Jimmys sat side by side on the stand
In the wind some mournful melody
I can read it like the back of my hand

mmm ah the back of my hand oh yeah

Oh yeah mm

I see dreams I see the joys
Images I don't understand
I see girls paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand
Read it like the ah ah ah ahh
Well read it like the back of my hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah mmm mm mm mm mm mm
Oh yeah read it like the back of my hand.

T&A not sure that's entirely accurate. I know in the last verse there was a line ending in "goyas" rhyming with the paranoias line...

beer "Jimmys sat side by side on the stand"


I dont think that's right. I thought it was jammin side by side.

I hear a preacher on the corner
Ranting like a crazy man
This is the trouble
Troubles are coming
I can read it like the back of my hand

I see love, I see misery
Jammin' side by side on the stand
In the wind some mournful melody
I can read it like the back of my hand

mmm ah the back of my hand oh yeah

Oh yeah mm

I see dreams I see the goyas
Images I don't understand
I see girls paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand
Read it like the ah ah ah ahh
Well read it like the back of my hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah mmm mm mm mm mm mm
Oh yeah read it like the back of my hand.

z I see dreams I see visions
Images I don't understand
I see Goya's paranoias
I can read it like the back of my hand

What a beautiful line... The old Jagger/Richards magic is at work here, folks.

Brings to mind the famous nightmarish print "El sueño de la razón produce monstruos" (The asleep of reason produces monsters) by Francisco de Goya.
