: I hear tons on "Brown Sugar." Hear him whip the women, brown sugar (it's original title was too shocking for the market and would hold it back from being a no. 1 due to censorship, "Black Pussy")
: If there are any on "Sway" it is a mystery through some sort of message to me.
: On "Wild Horses" I doubt there were references to it n a tender country ballad written for Anita Pallenberg by Keith.
: "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is all about that. We are treated with lines like "You got cocaine eyes" and other allusions to a druggie's life of addiction and of course, dirty sex.
: "You Gotta Move" is an old blues number, that's perhaps about the same subject, dirty sex.
: "Bitch" talks about love being a bitch. We hear "Yeah when you lay me out." This is all through my memory, not through listening over for all of the references.
: "I Got the Blues" seems to be a tender slow soul number with no real druggy atmosphere, unless the guy with the blues is wasted on alcohol.
: "Sister Morphine." Oh hell yeah! The lines about the ambulance, the blood-stained sheets, sweet cousin cocaine, takking the needle. This song is all about that heroin overdose.
: "Dead Flowers" is maybe about an OD victim who wants dead flowers on their grave. Also, it talks about being in the basement room with a needle and a spoon.
: "Moonlight Mile" might have those things. But I can't think of any right now.
: Is there another album, or should I say, Stones album with any more. Only the psychedelic bands could match this sly depiction of the rock star life.

Dead Flowers=Dead Poppies...

On Moonlight Mile, Mick talks about a 'Head full of snow'..about as UN-subtle as the stones ever got...

Also, you can construe CYHMK as him bangin on his dealers door,if you want ot realpicky...

You don't THINK Mick & Keef were actually DOING DRUGS at the time do ya??
