Connection
Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don’t know if he’ll let me go
Connection, I just can’t make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
My bags they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect ’em
They’re dying to add me to their collection
And I don’t know if they’ll let me go
Connection, I just can’t make no connection
Yesterday’s Papers
Living a life of constant change
Every day means the turn of a page
Yesterday’s papers are such bad news
Same thing applies to me and you
Who wants yesterday’s papers
Who wants yesterday’s girl
Seems very hard to have just one girl
When there’s a million in the world
All of these people just can’t wait
To fall right into their big mistake
[ Oh, the poor little thing > Jagger’s got a million groupies to get through and marriage is the last thing on his mind ]
Back Street Girl
Please don’t be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don’t you bother my wife
That way you won’t get no help
Don’t try to ride on my horse
You’re rather common and coarse anyway
Don’t want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl
[ Laying down the law to his squeeze on the side > “Yeah, you awright with that then, darling. We don’t have a problem, do we. Tell ya what, go get us another beer > there’s a good girl. ]

Who’s Been Sleeping Here
What you say girl, you see what is wrong
You must be joking, you was led along
But the butler, the baker, the laughing cavalier
Will tell me now, who’s been sleeping here
I want to know
Don’t you look like, like a goldilocks
There must be somewhere, somewhere you can stop
Yes there’s the noseless old newsboy, the old British brigadier
But you’ll tell me now, who’s been sleeping here
Who’s been eating, eating off my plate
Who will tell me, who’ll investigate
