letra:
Heart
of mine, be still You can play with fire but you'll get the
bill Don't let her know Don't let her know that you love
her Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine
Heart of mine, go back home You got
no reason to wander, no reason to roam Don't let her see Don't
let her see that you need her Don't put yourself over the
line Heart of mine
Heart of mine, go back where you've
been It'll be only trouble for you if you let her in Don't let
her hear Don't let her hear where you're goin' Don't untie the
ties that bind Heart of mine
Heart of mine, so malicious and so full
of guile Give you an inch and you'll take a mile Don't let
yourself fall Don't let yourself stumble If you can't do the
time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

She's
something special, I can't explain it But when she's near me, I
can't contain it And just one look at her face is good enough for
me
No way of knowing which way I'm
going But I can't stop it, it keeps on growing And just one
look at her face is good enough for me
She ain't too pretty, she ain't too
tall In fact, she ain't too much of anything at all I don't
care what the people say They're going to find out some sweet day
She is precious, she is charming She
is so innocent, it's really disarming And just one look at her
face is good enough for me
She ain't too pretty, she ain't too

por Mick Jagger e Keith Richards, foi gravada entre 1978 e 1981 e
lançada em 24 de agosto de 1981, no disco Tattoo
you, o décimo sexto disco dos Rolling Stones. Saiu também em
compacto, em março de 1982, com Neighbours como Lado B. Foi
produzida por Mick Jagger e Keith Richards, sob o pseudonimo de
Glimmer Twins. A letra fala do declínio econômico da Inglaterra
durante os anos 1970s. Falam de desemprego, que preferem apostar em
cavalos do que em casar com alguém rico. É uma das poucas canções
políticas da banda. Hang fire significa não fazer nada, esperar,
hesitar. Tecnicamente, é o momento em que o gatilho é puxado e a
bala sai. Chegou ao número 20 no Billboard Hot100.

I
was in your presence for an hour or so Or was it a day? I truly
don't know Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low By
that soft and shining sea Did you respect me for what I did Or
for what I didn't do, or for keeping it hid? Did I lose my mind
when I tried to get rid Of everything you see?
In the summertime, oh in the
summertime In the summertime, when you were with me
I got the heart and you got the
blood We cut through iron and we cut through mud Then came the
warning that was before the flood That set everybody free Fools
they made a mock of sin Our loyalty they tried to win But you
were closer to me than my next of kin When they didn't want to
know or see
In the summertime, oh in the
summertime In the summertime, when you were with me
Strangers, they meddled in our
affairs Poverty and shame was theirs But all that suffering was
not to be compared With the glory that is to be And I'm still
carrying the gift you gave It's a part of me now, it's been
cherished and saved It'll be with me unto the grave And then
unto eternity
In the summertime, oh in the
summertime In the summertime when you were with me

não tinha dinheiro pra se mudar. A canção começa com um sax
tocado por Greg Ham.

Who can it be knocking at my door? Make
no sound, tip-toe across the floor If he hears, he'll knock all
day I'll be trapped and here I'll have to stay I've done no
harm, I keep to myself There's nothing wrong with my state of
mental health I like it here with my childhood friend Here they
come, those feelings again!
Who can it be now? Who can it be

Is it the man come to take me away? Why

mid-air
But I know Ohh yes, I know There has just got to
be a better world somewhere
Every woman I want Only wants
herself Everybody I love Seems to love somebody else And
every woman Got a license to break my heart And every love, oh
it's over Over before it gets a chance to start
If it ain't
dead Maybe in the here after Instead of tears I'll learn all
about laughter But meanwhile I'm stuck out here
It just

A
letra:
In
the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need When the
pool of tears beneath my feet floods every newborn seed There's a
dying voice within me reaching out somewhere Toiling in the danger
and the morals of despair
Don't have the inclination to look back
on any mistake Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I
must break In the fury of the moment I can see the master's
hand In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the
weeds of yesteryear Like criminals, they have choked the breath of
conscience and good cheer The sun beams down upon the steps of
time to light the way To ease the pain of idleness and the memory
of decay
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's
angry flame And every time I pass that way I'll always hear my
name Then onward in my journey I come to understand That every
hair is numbered like every grain of sand
I have gone from rags to riches in the
sorrow of the night In the violence of a summer's dream, in the
chill of a wintry light In the bitter dance of loneliness fading
into space In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten
face
I hear the ancient footsteps like the
motion of the sea Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other
times it's only me I am hanging in the balance of the reality of
man Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand

por Colin Hay e Ron Strykert, foi gravada em 1980 e lançada sem

em 1981, através do compacto que tinha Crazy como Lado B, em 2 de
novembro de 1981. Sairia também no disco de estréia da banda,
chamado Business as usual, em 9 de novembro de 1981. Foi produzida
por Peter McIan. A versão lançada em 1980 e bem diferente da
oficial, de 1981. Foi número 1 no Billboard Hot 100, no Reino Unido,

Finlandia. Número 6 na Bélgica e Suécia. Número 9 na Alemanha e
número 55 na França. Foi o único top10 da banda no Reino Unido. É
considerada uma canção patriótica na Austrália. Fala de um
australiano viajando pelo globo, e encontrando pessoas. Termina
encontrando um padeiro de Melbourne morando em Bruxelas, que dá a
ele um Vegemite sandwich, que ele não havia encontrado em canto
algum. Começa com o cantor dizendo que “travelling in a fried-out
kombi, on a hippie trail, head full of zombie”. Fried out era uma
gíria australiana que significa que a Kombi estava bem fudida.
Zombie era um tipo de maconha. Hippie Trail era uma rota popular nos
anos 60 e 70, que ia do oeste da Europa até o suldeste da Ásia. E
continua dizendo: “Where beer does flow and men chunder”. Chunder
quer dizer vomitar. Foi tocada pela banda no encerramento das
Olimpíadas de Sydney, em 2000. A banda resolveu colocar uma música
infantil tocada na flauta, o que rendeu um processo de disputa nos
tribunais e eles perderam. A música é Kookaburra. Colin Hay cantou
e tocou guitarra. Greg Ham tocou flauta e frz backing vocals. Ron
Strykert tocou guitarra e fez backing vocals. John Rees tocou baixo e
fez backing vocals. Jerry Speiser tocou bateria e fez backing vocals.
Foi regravada por Colin Hay, acústica, em 2003. Foi regravada por
ele também em 2012, sem a flauta, depois da disputa judicial.

Traveling
in a fried-out Kombi On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I
met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me
breakfast And she said
"Do you come from a land down
under Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't
you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover"
Buying bread from a man in Brussels He
was six-foot-four and full of muscle I said, "Do you speak-a
my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite
sandwich And he said
"I come from a land down
under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear,
can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover,
yeah"
Lying in a den in Bombay With a
slack jaw and not much to say I said to the man, "Are you
trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty" And
he said
Oh, "Do you come from a land down
under? (Oh, yeah-yeah) Where women glow and men plunder? Can't
you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better
take cover", 'cause we are
Living in a land down under Where

stand it Runnin' around, I won't stand it Runnin' around, I
won't stand it
You're foolin' around, I won't stand
it Playin' around I won't stand it You're funnin' around with
my heart You're foolin' around with my heart My heart
Runnin' around Foolin' around with
my heart Foolin' around, I can't stand it Runnin' around, I
won't stand it Foolin' around, I won't stand it
Foolin' around, I won't stand
