"Black Limousine" — Tattoo You (1981). A slow, menacing blues about a relationship gone cold. One of the album's darkest moments.
(M. Jagger/K. Richards/R. Wood)
We used to ride, baby
Ride around in limousines
We looked so fine, baby
You in white and me in green
Drinking and dancing
All inside and crazy dream
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me
I get so scared
Just to see you on the street
They're living dead
Your all the same, you never speak
Your wrecked out now
Washed up high up on the beach
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me
We used to shine, shine, shine, shine
Say what a pair, say what a team
We used to ride, ride, ride, ride
In a long black limousine
Those dreams are gone baby
Locked away and never seen
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me
Знаете ли вы, что...
- From Tattoo You (1981). Written by Jagger, Richards, and Ron Wood. A slow blues with a sinister, oppressive quality unusual in the Stones' 1980s output.
