ANGRY

 







"Angry"


Don't get angry with me, I never caused you no pain
I won't be angry with you, but I can't see straight

It hasn't rained in a month, the river's run dry
We haven't made love, and I wanna know why
Why you angry with me?
Why you angry?

Please just forget about me, cancel out my name
Please never write to me, I love you just the same
I hear a melody ringing in my brain
Just keep the memories, don't have to be ashamed

Don't get angry with me, I'm in a desperate state
I'm not angry with you, don't you spit in my face

The wolf's at the door with the teeth and the claws
My mouth's getting sore, I can't take anymore
Why you angry with me?
Why you angry?

Voices keep echoing, calling out my name
Hear the rain keep beating on my window pane
I hear a melody ringing in my brain
You can keep the memories, don't have to be ashamed
Don't get angry with me

Angry
Angry

Angry, don't be angry with me, if we go separate ways
Angry, yeah, don't be angry with me, let's go out in a blaze

Angry, don't be angry with me, don't you spit in my face
Angry, don't be angry with me, don't get, don't get

Angry, don't be angry with me
I'm still taking the pills, and I'm off to Brazil
Angry, don't be angry with me

Angry (Please), don't be angry with me
Come on
Angry, don't be angry with me

Mmm .... what's old Mick trying to tell us here?
His eyesight and bodily functions are failing? The Viagra isn't working? His fillings are falling out? He has tinnitus  (I hear a melody ringing in my brain)?

It's called old age Mick and, at nearly 80 so you should be experiencing symptoms like these.
Robert would say, "don't be angry, just forgive" or some Christian stuff like that but as a big rock and roll star you and the Stones don't have to listen to crap like that.

What you do instead is put out a new (last?) album that, on listening to the one track that I was able to on-line 'Angry' sounds a lot like all the other stuff - which I like - that you've put out over a phenomenal 60 year career.

That's OK and I'm interested in hearing the other tracks in anticipation that at least one will match the classics like "Can't you hear me knocking', 'Midnight Mile', 'Angie', 'Paint it black', 'Love in Vain', 'You can't always get what you want' etc.

What I didn't like is the silly video featuring a skanky Las Vegas pole-dancer type woman who's young enough to be your great-granddaughter, writhing about dangerously atop a moving car. Pathetic!

    1. Yes, I put a comment similar to the blog post on the YouTube review of the song. Amazingly a whole lot of acolytes on that page rave about it.
