TWO FOR TUESDAY {REDO}

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Sympathy For The Devil
The Rolling Stones

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long long year
Stole many a man’s soul and faith

And I was around when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general’s rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah yeah
What’s puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedys
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
Ah yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game
Ah yeah

Get down with it

Yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
Ah yeah
But what’s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners are saints
As heads is tails just called me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint

So if you meet me have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well learned politics
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste

Yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
Ah yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game
Ah yeah

Get down with it

You Can’t Always Get What You Want
The Rolling Stones

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

Now you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You’ll find
You’ll get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You might find
You get what you need

Ah yeah

I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singin’ we’re gonna vent our frustration
If you don’t we’re gonna blow a fifty amp fuse

Sing it to me

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well you just might find
You get what you need

Ah yeah

Ah yeah

So I want to the Chelsea Drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standin’ in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor cherry red
I sing this song to Mr. Jimmy
And he said one word to me and that was dead

I said to him

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if your try sometimes
You just might find
You get what you need

You get what you need

Yeah

All right

Ah yeah

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

  1. The first song was quite perceptive of them in some ways.

  2. It makes one wonder just who the true author of that song really was--doesn't it? Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!!

  3. You know, I just can't help myself. I have always loved the Stones, especially these two songs. If there are subliminal messages, I didn't get them. I would just find myself dancing around the house whenever I heard these songs. Good thing no one was looking!

  4. I have listened to these songs all my life and never really listened to the words. Shame on me! Thanks for bringing them to my attention and I will start paying closer attention from now on.

    Friends 4 Life!

  5. No, there are no subliminal messages in these songs, my dear Cher. That is, at least not any that I have been made aware of. The thing is that "Sympathy For The Devil" speaks very clearly about his active participation in our daily lives, and the title of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" hits me squarely between the eyes because of how much I have wanted that I have not been allowed to get. (We often argue about what I need. Of course, He always wins.) Thanks for stopping by again!!!

  6. Be assured that I have been guilty of the same thing, my dear Eddie. For there have been many a favorite song of mine that I had no idea what was really being sung until our Heavenly Father opened my ears to hear it. Thanks for stopping by!!!

  7. Sympathy For The Devil has always been one of my favorites by The Stones.

    It is also one song that is greatly misunderstood if someone only sees the title and never listens to the lyrics.

    In my opinion, it makes a very powerful statement about the devil and the power he has in this world.

    Thanks for posting the lyrics. You just never know who may see them and realize just exactly what this song is truly about!!

  8. Ye cannae beat a bit o' the Stones!

    Although Mick Jagger must be nearly as old as Adullamite.

  9. I realize that it sound absolutely insane, my dear Jackie, but there are times when I do feel sympathy for the devil. For what has happened to him seems so unfair (naturally-speaking, of course), and then he is allowed to mess with me some more and that is the end of that. Thanks for stopping by again!!!

  10. You have touched upon an interesting bit of information, my dear Mike. For it is my understanding that the name of the band came about while Mick, Keith and Adullamite were rolling some stones down a hillside at some mastodons way back when. Thanks for stopping by again!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Can I just indicate that Mike was the one rolling stones with Jagger. Well Jagger was actually throwing them - at him!

  12. I stand corrected, my dear Adullamite. Thank you for coming forth with your eye-witness account.
