I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you.
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on! Come on!
I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won't miss you child
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
This was The Rolling Stones at their peak, in my opinion... It was amazing, how they pulled off so many styles on this... There was a prevailing 'Disco sucks!" atmosphere among us then at my High School, and Country, well, that was crap some of our parents listened to on transistor radios while grilling burgers and drinking cheap beer out on the back porch ... We wanted Rock n Roll, with a genuine passion... I recall being blown away by 'When the Whip Comes Down,' and this fantastic song... I also remember some of my friends' older siblings initially feeling let down with this effort that summer of '78, complaining, "The Stones sold out, man — they've gone way too Pop-ish — give me 'Exile On Main Street' or 'Sticky Fingers!'" and, "What's up with that cover — are they all 'trannies' now?" and after they performed music from this record on TV, some lamented, "Mick and Keith are like a gay couple now, it's disgusting!" Soon enough, we realized, detractors be damned, this was one phenomenal record: every single song was eminently danceable and perfect for sing-along. They flaunted essence of R&B, flirted with Country with tongue firmly in cheek, and ROCKED OUR WORLD! By 'Tattoo You,' though, most of us had to agree that they had veered a bit far off track, and we wanted the harder Rock edge other bands had.
Great observations. Thanks!

Very well stated!
The Stones try their hand at disco, and crush it!
I Agree. GREAT TUNE!!
I really don't need to hear another Rolling Stone song. Ever.
I interpret this statement to mean that this is the ONLY Rolling Stones song you "need to hear."
It's my favorite, too!
(But, I have to admit, there are other Stones songs that I also like.)
Disco-era Stones.... disgusting.
They were takin the piss!!

Great essay. Thanks!
♥️
Still missin´ you every day, Jen ❣️😘
Disco-era Stones.... disgusting.
I HATE Disco, but this tune kicks ass! GREAT TUNE!!
the disco thing: Mick was a frequent visitor to Studio 54 in this time period.
Is your name from Firesign Theater? I've dropped it (along wit Kcin Regnad) many times over the years and no one has gotten it.
"Third Eye"
I wonder when the last time bill played the lead track From this album:)
Just don't have that much jazz.
Miss you more than you can imagine, Jen ❤️😘
♥️
Same here!!!

"I've been holding out so long" - omg been hearing this song for 43 years and this is the first time I learned that it's not "I've been hauling ass along"
RIP Charlie, thanks for everything!
Same here!!!
RIP Charlie, thanks for everything!
Still have the vinyl.
Miss you, Carsti! 🖤
Miss you more than you can imagine, Jen ❤️😘
Shoulda bought it!
SOME GIRLS was Keith's 'recovery' album.
Off smack, and not yet a lush, his guitar work with Ronnie Wood, had never been better.
There are hundreds of meanings for "PSD", a.o. in the Acronymfinder, none of them related to listening to a playlist or something like that.
So what does it mean when used here?
The 'Next' button used to be called the 'PSD' (Play Something Different) button, and it's caught on...

Tickets were 8 bucks. That same year , Mom gave up her ticket , so I could go with her "Old Man" (as she called Jim) to see Eric Clapton at the Santa Monica Civic for the Slowhand Tour. Those two shows made quite an impact on that 14 year old kid. Thanks Mom!
myself on the beach as a youngster hearing this in 78....
I agreed all the way until the end. I still remember them airing the promotional video for Miss You on the Jerry Lewis Telethon as a kid. Check it out on Youtube and imagine it on that Telethon. Mind melting.
However, the songs on Tattoo You all had their genesis in that "harder rock edge" era around the time of Exile and were far less Disco-y than either this disc or Emotional Rescue. While Start Me Up isn't my favorite song from the album, it certainly is no disco-style number. The back side of Tattoo is loaded with tracks that have more in common with Exile, Goat's Head, and IORR.
Love it today.
I've listened to the whole thing and it's good fun, especially if you're a major Stones fan.
Good sound quality too . . .
MissYou-11:39-outtake
9 - OUTSTANDING
Yes, this track is outstanding, and today is the day I gave it the +1 to the coveted 10 spot....Long Live RP!!
"People dressed in plastic bags directing traffic" HAS to be about this guy who would stand in the intersection of 14th Street and 1st Ave wearing a black plastic bag ... directing traffic.
It's ironic you say that about Tattoo You given that it is primarily composed of unfinished songs from this era and on back to the aforementioned Exile era.
Otherwise, your sentiments on Some Girls are spot on!
Over the hill, are you?
Whatsamatterwitchuboy?
Miss You shows the ability of The Stones to make many genres Kick Ass.
e.g. So you want disco, here's DISCO...
U want more?!
*spits on the floor*
There weren't quite as many small, indie bands back in 1978, or at least they weren't called that back then. It's likely that most of the members of today's indie bands weren't even born yet.
The video that this is from (Start Me Up) is imho the funniest music video ever made. The self-parody, hyper-cool posturings and mock seriousness is hysterical.
This track, along with several other RS songs (Beast of Burden, etc.) remind me of my party days, wow....like a lot of party goers...how the hell did I survive it all!?!?
I guess part of why I like these old party tracks is that I can remember the times listening to the music....whereas a lot of the rest of the party time I don't remember at all (how did I wake up here?) so there's that. Of course, having a couple of the ladies dancing naked together to a song gets it stuck in the head too.
Long Live RP!
nah, there's a few good ones on Tattoo You ("Start Me Up", Little T&A" "Waiting on a Friend"). of course, some of those songs had been sitting around unfinished in some for–-"Friend" dates back to 71 or 72.
Then it's downhill.
Or, you just weren't listening to anything after that. One or the other.
...and you didn't even list the best tracks off of Tattoo You.

the Stones spent more than one night at Studio 54 in the late 70's, and 'Miss You' was the result.

Love your stories.
Definitely, one of the few Stones albums that should be listened to in it's entirety
Title track! Or Beast of Burden, Far Away Eyes, When the Whip Comes Down. Damn, I need to pop it on right now.
Truly a classic album, It showcases the Glimmer Twins and their ability to adapt to so many different styles. So, they say, you want some disco, while here it is. And then we will do Far Away Eyes to show that we can do country music as well.
And Shattered is crown on this vinyl.
disco?
The (Wood-Richards) guitar riffs are excellent!

Funny you should say that, Bill just introduced this as a disco classic
37 years just disappear...
I'd post the original, but hey, maybe I'd run into legal trouble, who knows?
It can be found on the Wiki page, along with this text:
George certainly had a sense of humor. Didn't know about this cover's story.

Irony? Anyhow, this album came out before most (if not all) of the members of Arcade Fire were even born; why even make a comparison?
