Jair What the hell they are excactly talking about it, please?

Also: are you sure is Bill playing the bass? sounds more like keith.


I got a few weeks a Jap edition of the CD (those LP mini replica) and I'm listening this record for weeks now. believe me, INCREDIBLE sound quality.


Let It Bleed


Well, we all need someone to lean on
And if you want it, well, you can lean on me
Well, we all need someone to lean on
And if you want it, well, you can lean on me

She said "My breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head on me
And there will always be a spare in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and symphaty"

Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it, you can dream on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on
And if you want it, you can cream on me

I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement
When you drink my health in scented jasmine tea
You knifed me in my dirty filthy basement
With that jaded faded junky nurse
Oh, what pleasant company

We all need someone we can feed on
And if you want it, you can feed on me
Take my arm, take my leg
Oh, baby, don't you take my head

We all need someone we can bleed on
And if you want it, you can bleed on me
We all need someone we can bleed on
And if you want it, why don't you bleed on me

Get it on, rider
Get it on, rider
Get it on, rider
You can bleed all over me

It's an ironic declaration of love. It's the opposite to You Got The Silver.

GotToRollMe Brainbell is correct, Jair. The lyrics pretty much speak for themselves. The only part that I can see you having trouble with is at the very end: "Get it on rider." This refers to the guitar player - taking an extended lead is known as "taking a ride" or "riding."
Otherwise, it's all pretty self-explanatory: Sex and drugs and rock & roll.

Many thanks all of you. Very kind.
YES!!!! The very end has nothing to do with the lyrics themselves. Thanks again.

And about the bass player???
I know is credited to Bill, but doesn't sound him, sound the Keith style to play the bass.

Mathijs A "rider" is also a porn term: a girl who likes to sit on top. These days you would also call this a "spinner".

The same here. The word in Portuguese is "cavalgar", meaning when you walk in a horse or...when the girl stay on the top.

glencar She said "My breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head on me
And there will always be a spare in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and symphaty"

Spare should be space - i.e. "And there will always be space in my parking lot..."

GotToRollMe Actually, Jair, these are the correct, complete lyrics:

LET IT BLEED
(Jagger/Richards)

Well, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well you can lean on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well you can lean on me

She said, "My breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me
And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy"

Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it, baby, well you can dream on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on
And if you want to, well you can cream on me

I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement
When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea
But you knifed me in my dirty filthy basement
With that jaded, faded, junky nurse
Oh, what pleasant company

We all need someone we can feed on
And if you want it, well you can feed on me
Take my arm, take my leg, oh baby don't you take my head...

Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
And if you want it, baby, well you can bleed on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah, yeah, and if you want it, baby, why don'cha bleed on me
All over

Whoo...
Yeah...

Ahh, get it on rider, whoo, get it on rider, get it on rider
You can bleed all over me, yeah!
Get it on rider, wooh! Get it on rider, yeah!
You can cream all over, you can come all over me, whoo!
Get it on rider, baby, get it on rider, get it on rider
You can come all over me

Yeah!
Get it on rider, baby come all over me
Yeah, yeah,
Get it on rider....
