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

For me, there is "no BEST Stones album"!  ...Some Good, Some GREAT, Some Mediocre, Some bad!  ...But, one heck of a large selection to choose from!  ...The BEST part is the diversity!    ...nobody can claim that all Stones albums & tunes sound the same!!   ...and, one heck of a long career!!!

we all need more lyrics like this

And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy"

Very few songs by the Stones rank below at least a "7" , so that puts them in very elite company indeed, Zep?,  Beatles?....

I think it's the drumming that rescues this song. Charlie Watts manages to make you feel like he's pushing the band along throughout the track.

saw "Crossfire Hurricane" the other day and it was really great:
Crossfire Hurricane is a 2012 documentary film about The Rolling Stones written and directed by Brett Morgen. The film chronicles the early years of the band through their gradual mainstream acceptance in 1981. The film is a series of interviews conducted without cameras, while showing various points of interest that the band is discussing as archival footage.

Shame on you. If you actually did some research for yourself you would find the reverse is usually true. But if you are comfortable letting your government tell you what to think then I guess there is no point in me mentioning that.

Is there a "blood pact" link?
I mean: on 66 all this poor boy could get was go back to home (or pub) with "no satisfaction"; on 69 it did not matter anymore and the "river" could flow without restriction...
Gross? (well, since 50% folks would yell YES, but 50% would keep mouth shut... Well, well, it is a matter for another place and hoour, isn´t it?).
Anyway, I think "Let it Bleed" marks the end of a circle (yes, I know it is a math/geometric nonsense, but it a metaphor) which starts on

(And if those three years was a time when the world (the old world of our granparents) was "ruining, burning, being broked for these hairy and dirty boys", I think it is not a simple coincidence.)
I mean, this song is the end of "teenage years" of RS: their next albuns (Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street) is much more "adults", musical and  lyrically. 
So, before the 66 dilemma, now this poor bay decides to accept the terms for obtain his "satisfaction" (in this case, of course, Mick is among those 50% who remains in silent agreement...)

This is why I think this music is superb: it brings an answer to a very difficult question: to grow up or not to grow up.
Is this the right answer?

Hey, it is just a music...
And for music (and art) any answer is better no answer at all.

How dare you taint my birthday with such...well, poor spelling and grammar, for starters!  :-)

I believe you've also misquoted the lyrics somewhat, thais.
Now, I can appreciate that, apparently, English is not your first tongue. I am envious of you to have this much command of another language, if this is the case. You put me to shame on that count. However, I fail to see the point you're trying to make, friend.

I understand your point, but Fogarty's "bayou" accent somehow came from growing up in El Cerrito, California.

I think it's more about your musical influences than it is where you were born. While I was born in the USA, my singing voice sounds more like a Canadian goose.

Glad others are enjoying it, but I am with you. This song has always irritated me.

Am I wrong, but this is the edited version, isn't it?  Somewhere in the beginning, there's a line with a 2 syllable (sp?) word, chopped and replaced with "coke"...

One of the band's best. Mick Taylor was a great addition.

This song always makes me want to listen to something off of the Faces' Long Player.  It's got that same laid-back feel to it.

That's some segue!  What are we to think?  Is Bill's response to the negativity about Dengue Fever (the band) to just 'Let It Bleed'?

Next time you feel compelled to listen to a song by the Rolling Stones, listen to silence for the same length of time instead. At the end, notice how much happier you are with your new choice.
I'm going to try a variation on this suggestion. Next time, instead of reading a comment by physicsgenius, I'm just going to stare off in to space for a minute or so. And I'll bet I will be happier with that choice.

This album is consistently good from start to finish. A true classic.

Many Stones songs I feel are just overplayed. However, this song is great always!

When they sing these songs live now it's just sleazy...and I hear they all bathe in brine.

Mick and Keith were naughty boys then .... and still are occasionally these days even. That explains the lyrics - while the Beatles were asking to hold your hand, the Stones were just asking for your hand .... and don't ask what they wanted it for.
Nobody is seriously rocking out to the Stones. They are remembering all the great times they had smoking joints or hanging out in pool halls or marching in protests or whatever Stones fans did 40 years ago.
Thanks for letting me know what I was thinking .... what a fool I've been!

Mick with an "American" accent makes about as much sense to me as somebody like John Fogarty singing with a British accent.

Hmmm, check out the lyrics to Liz Phair's "HWC". Some variation of that, I'm guessing.

ODDS ARE AGAINST PG being in th ethereal 2%. I personally think he/she/it may be a seriously lonely and pathetic person (gee-wonder why?!?!?!?) who is in dire straits for some compassion, unconditional love & tolerance. PG - if you want, you can lean on me brutha. LIKE THE SONG SAYS. Or am I NOT permitted to proffer that since it is nolonger the 60's/70's ?!?

I like Hendrix and I was not alive then...does this mean hendrix is crap? Just curious. physicsgenius wrote:

Johnny Winter does an absolutely amazing version of this song that just flat out cooks. I uploaded it to RP but it was turned down.. Too bad, it would have made an excellent addition to the playlist in the vein of say SRV or Hendrix..

Outstanding...Stones at the Height of their carreer which fortunately lasted for quite a few albums.

Yes, exactly my point. If you have to have been alive at the time it came out to appreciate something, it is crap. It has no lasting power. It is nostalgia rock only.

I can see your point that the inherent "greatness" of a song is limited if the only way to for anyone to appreciate is to associate it with contemporary memories. But you've taken a good way for an individual to do an internal inventory for him/herself and tried to make it an automatic rule to disqualify the Stones completely as a band worth listening to today. People do still "seriously rock" out to the Stones music of the 60s and 70s. Maybe you and I and have different ideas as to what "seriously rock" means, but I know people of all ages who still enjoy their music from this period. "I can understand why someone in the 60s (or even 70s) might think the Stones were good--there wasn't all that much else to compare them with. But it is now time to Let. It. Go." Such crap. The band released a lot of mediocre songs to fill out albums, but with their best stuff they stand the test of time. Should we trash The Who as well? Remember that two hit TV shows in the US use Who songs in the opening credits. I would dearly love to see what you "seriously rock out" to. I'm sure some of it dates back to the 60s and 70s and would qualify in the minds of many younger listeners as only nostalgia rock. But if it grabs you, who cares, even if it is only nostalgia rock? If the Stones from the 60s and 70s still thrills people, who cares? Who made you God to determine how and why music should move people?

One of the Stones' worst renditions of a song so overplayed that I cannot tell which level of poor I would place it in.
