Mad Brained Bear Jagger's top 25 lyrics:

1. "Send me dead flowers to my wedding and I won't forget to put roses on your grave"

2. "The preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side. And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran twenty red lights in his honor"

3. "When you call my name, I salivate like Pavlov's dog"

4. "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find, you get what you need"

5. "Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind. Ain't life unkind?"

6. "Poor man eyes a rich man, denigrates his property. A rich man eyes a poor man and envies his simplicity."

7. "Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face."

8. "Don't need a whore, don't need no booze, don't need a virgin priest, I just need someone I can cry on."

9. "I'm a flea bit peanut monkey, all my friends are junkies."

10. "We all need someone we can bleed on, and if you want to, you can bleed on me."

11. "My riches can't buy everything, I want to hear the children sing."

12. "Saint Paul the persecutor was a cruel and sinful man, Jesus hit him with a blinding light and then his life began."

13. "Send ten dollars to the Church of Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus located somewhere in Los Angeles, California."

14. "She's so cold, she's so cold, cold, cold, I dare not touch her, my hand just froze."

15. "You're a rag-trade girl, you're the queen of porn, you're the easiest lay on the White House lawn."

16. "There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs, but it's no hanging matter, it's no capital crime. I can see that you're fifteen years old. No, I don't want your I.D."

17. "Don't you know the crime rate's going up, up, up, up, up? To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough."

18. "Everything is going in the wrong direction, the doctor wants to give me more injections."

19. "Pride and joy and greed and sex, that's what makes our town the best."

20. "You make a grown man cry, you make a dead man cum."

21. "You came in a blaze of light, you unzippered the dark."

22. "It's so very lonely 2000 light years from home."

23. "I sit and watch as tears go by."

24. "Sunshine bores the daylights outta me. Chasing
shadows, moonlight mystery."

25. "I am just a monkey man, I'm glad you are a monkey woman, too."

winter
When you're drunk in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn
And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn.
Just seemed too many flies on you, I just can't brush them off.
Angels beating all their wings in time,
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes.
Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you,
Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now.

October 10th, 2005 08:03 PM
winter Hey let him follow you down,
Way underground wind and he's bound.
Bound to follow you down,
Just a dead beat right off the street.
Bound to follow you down.
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites.
On stage the band has got problems,
They're a bag of nerves on first nights.
He ain't tied down to no home town,
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless.
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad,
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless.

October 10th, 2005 08:04 PM
winter You were still in school
When you had that fool
Who really messed your mind.
And after that you turned your back
On treating people kind.
On our first trip
I tried so hard to rearrange your mind.
But after while I realized you were disarranging mine.

October 10th, 2005 08:04 PM
winter I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die
October 10th, 2005 08:06 PM
winter possibly my all time favorite:

Yes, I am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn,
But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn.
October 10th, 2005 08:10 PM
winter Yeah, I heard about you Polaroid's
Now that's what I call obscene
Your tricks with fruit was kind a cute
I bet you keep your pussy clean
Honey, I miss your two tone kisses
Legs wrapped around me tight
If I ever get back to New York, girl
Gonna make you scream all night

Yeah, Ali McGraw got mad with you
For givin' head to Steve McQueen
Yeah, you and me, we made a pretty pair
Fallin' through the Silver Screen
Honey, I'm open to anything
I don't know where to draw the line
Yeah, I'll make bets that you're gonna get
John Wayne before he dies

October 10th, 2005 08:10 PM
winter White girls they're pretty funny
Sometimes they drive me mad
Black girls just wanna get fucked all night
I just don't have that much jam

October 10th, 2005 08:11 PM
winter You're a rag-trade girl, you're the queen of porn
You're the easiest lay on the White House lawn
October 10th, 2005 08:14 PM
texile 'i must admit - i was alwful bad....'
October 10th, 2005 08:15 PM
winter I was young
I was foolish
I was angry
I was vain
I was charming
Feeling lucky
Tell me how have I changed

October 10th, 2005 08:18 PM
winter Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away

October 10th, 2005 08:22 PM
winter You say you got a girlfriend, that she's wilder than you
Why don't you bring her upstairs
If she's so wild then she can join in too
October 10th, 2005 08:23 PM
Mr.Riffhard with no lovin' in our souls and no money in our coats, you can't say we're satisfied.
October 10th, 2005 08:24 PM
winter A friend of mine was this Japanese. He had a girlfriend in
Paris. He tried to date her in six months and eventually she
said yes. You know he took her to his apartment, cut off her
head. Put the rest of her body in the refrigerator, ate her
piece by piece. Put her in the refrigerator, put her in the
freezer. And when he ate her and took her bones to the Bois de
Boulogne, by chance a taxi driver noticed him burying the
bones. You don't believe me? Truth is stranger than fiction.
We drive through there every day.

October 10th, 2005 08:25 PM
winter I married yesterday
To a teenage bride
You said it's only physical
But I love her deep inside
I still see you in my dreams
With a kitchen knife
With it poised above your head
now who you gonna slice
[Edited by winter]
October 10th, 2005 08:29 PM
winter Whoa, the servants they're so helpful, dear
The cook she is a whore
Yes, the butler has a place for her
Behind the pantry door
The maid, she's French, she's got no sense
She's wild for Crazy Horse
And when she strips, the chauffeur flips
The footman's eyes get crossed

October 10th, 2005 08:33 PM
winter You dream of it passionate
You get a rise from it
Feel the hot cum
Dripping on your thighs from it
Why why so divine, the pain of love

October 10th, 2005 08:36 PM
stonedinaustralia i'm very confident 5. is keith and so too, i suspect, is 18.

24. - sounds like keith to me as well

I think the lyrics to dead flowers, is, by far, one of the best lyrics ever

Neocon Connection was writen by Keith totally by Keith at an airport. Ruby Tuesday is all Keith. I'm not so sure the lyrics to "Let it Bleed," and "Rocks Off" are Mick.

so you're stretched out in room 1009
with a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
o, I could not seem to get a line on you
my sweet honey love

berber jewelry jangling down the street
making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet
o, I could not seem to get high off you
my sweet honey love

may the good lord shine a light on you
make every song your favorite tune
may the good lord shine a light on you
warm, like the evening sun

texile seems to many flies on you -
i just can't brush em off......

all your sickness,
i suck it up -
throw it all at me,
i shrug it off -
there's one thing baby,
i don't understand -
you keep on telling me i ain't your kind of man....


those are the saddest lyrics he's ever written.
October 11th, 2005 12:22 PM
Ten Thousand Motels Well I hope I have'nt doubled up......

Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that
Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat
I bet you mama don't know you can bite like that
I'll bet she never saw you scratch my back

Nasty Habits "Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste."

"Baby better come back maybe next week can't you see I'm on a losing streak?"

"The lines 'round my eyes are protected by a copyright law."

"I'm not so green but I'm feeling so fresh."

"I ain't in love and I ain't in luck."

"My heavy throbber's itching just to lay a solid rhythm down."

"I love you dirty fucker sister and brother moaning in the moonlight singing for your supper."

"I was crowned with a spike right through my head."

"The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind, just another mad mad day on the road."

"Love is the way they say is really strutting out."
October 11th, 2005 01:20 PM
texile destroys your notion of circular time....

the strength of darkness,
still abides.....

hide the switch and shut the light -
baby won't you shut it..

if i was a hooker,
i would want a new man every night
