1. Songs for Stoners

    And by Stoners, obviously I mean Rolling Stones fans.
    I did this before, but I can’t find my list, so I’ve compiled a whole new list of songs by them that every fan new or old, in my opinion, should have in their possession.

    Just like before, I took all the songs I have on my computer by the Stones, around 550 songs (studio and single versions, live versions, alternate tracks, bootlegs and everything in between), put them on shuffle, and selected the ones that are impossible to pass up. However, I did only include the studio or single versions in this list because adding other things was making this post entirely too long. And thus, here is my list, songs followed by year of original release.

    I should just reblog this again before I end up reblogging every song on it instead

    “Moonlight Mile” / The Rolling Stones

    Oh I’m sleeping under strange strange skies
    Just another mad mad day on the road
    My dreams is fading down the railway line
    I’m just about a moonlight mile on down the road

    “19th Nervous Breakdown” /The Rolling Stones

    When you were a child
    You were treated kind
    But you were never brought up right.
    You were always spoiled with a thousand toys
    But still you cried all night.
    Your mother who neglected you
    Owes a million dollars tax.
    And your father’s still perfecting ways of making sealing wax.

    You better stop, look around
    Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
    Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown.

    “Monkey Man”/The Rolling Stones

    I’m a fleabit peanut monkey
    All my friends are junkies
    That’s not really true
    I’m a cold Italian pizza
    I could use a lemon squeezer
    What you do?
    But I’ve been bit and I’ve been tossed around
    By every she-rat in this town
    Have you, babe?
    Well, I am just a monkey man
    I’m glad you are a monkey woman too

    “Stray Cat Blues”/The Rolling Stones

    You look so weird and you’re so far from home
    But you don’t really miss your mother
    Don’t look so scared I’m no mad-brained bear
    But it’s no hanging matter
    It’s no capital crime

    “Who’s Driving Your Plane” /The Rolling Stones

    It was your father who trained you and your mother who brained you
    To be so useless and shy
    But I just replaced them and tried not to break them
    Because you could stand up if you tried
    And I wanna see your face when your knees and your legs
    Are just gonna break down and die

    And, who’s driving your plane?
    Who’s driving your plane?
    Who’s driving your plane?
    Who’s driving your plane?
    Are you in control or is it driving you insane?

    “Somebody That I Used to Know” / Elliott Smith

    I had tender feelings that you made hard
    But it’s your heart, not mine, that’s scarred
    So when I go home I’ll be happy to go
    You’re just somebody that I used to know
    You don’t need my help anymore
    It’s all now to you, there ain’t no before
    Now that you’re big enough to run your own show
    You’re just somebody that I used to know
    I watched you deal in a dying day
    And throw a living past away
    So you can be sure that you’re in control
    You’re just somebody that I used to know
    I know you don’t think you did me wrong
    And I can’t stay this mad for long
    Keeping ahold of what you just let go
    You’re just somebody that I used to know

    “The Golden Age” / Beck

    It’s a treacherous road
    With a desolated view
    There’s distant lights
    But here they’re far and few
    And the sun don’t shine
    Even when its day
    You gotta drive all night
    Just to feel like you’re ok

    “Rock and Roll Party” / Iggy Pop

    Rock is rock if you’ll give it a shot.
    Rock is rock if you like it or not.
    The nylon stockings up your leg,
    Might as well be screaming.

    “I am Waiting” /The Rolling Stones

    See it come along and
    Don’t know where it’s from
    Oh, yes you will find out

    Well, it happens all the time
    It’s censored from our minds
    You’ll find out

    Slow or fast, slow or fast
    Oh yeah, oh yeah
    End at last, end at last
    Oh yeah, oh yeah
    Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
    Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

    “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” /The Rolling Stones

    Yeah, you got satin shoes
    Yeah, you got plastic boots
    Y’all got cocaine eyes
    Yeah, you got speed-freak jive

    Can’t you hear me knockin’ on your window
    Can’t you hear me knockin’ on your door
    Can’t you hear me knockin’ down your dirty street

    “Look What You’ve Done” / The Rolling Stones

    And now your bird cries
    The shadow falls
    Gloomy memories
    And I recall
    Your love is my life
    As warm as the sun
    But now it is gone
    And see what it done
