'Sway' has always been one of my favorite songs by the Rolling Stones. It sits there on Sticky Fingers, second song, right after Brown Sugar. And can you believe it, it's yet another what the heck is Mick singing about? I still can't get the lyrics right.
What I heard: 'It's just that demon eye forgot me in its sway'
What Mick sings: 'It's just that demon life has got me in its sway.'
What I heard: 'Ain't been ten years out on the dust covered ground.'
What Mick sings: 'Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground.'
What I heard: 'Someone who brought me up with some kinda (?).'
What Mick sings: 'Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah'
I am obviously paying more attention to the music, which includes two excellent slide guitar solos from Mick Taylor. So smooth, like buttah. Charlie Watts is his usual incredible self on the drums.
