Bill Wyman: "The rhythm thing was formed basically around the Buddy Holly thing. We brought the rhythm up and emphasized it. Holly had used that Bo Diddley trademark beat on his version, but because he was only using bass, drums and guitar, the rhythm element is sort of a throwaway. Holly played it lightly. We just got into it more and put the Bo Diddley beat up front." (thanks, bertrand - Paris, France

lyric
Well, baby used to stay out all night long She made me cry, she done me wrong She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie Tables turn and now her turn to cry Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Well, she used to run around with every man in town She spent all my money, playing her high class game She put me out, it was a pity how I cried Tables turn and now her turn to cry Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head But now she's here and there, with every man in town Still trying to take me for that same old clown Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

This was the first Mick Jagger/Keith Richards composition. They wrote it when their manager, Andrew Oldham, locked them in his kitchen and told them to write some songs. At the time, The Stones were content to interpret songs written by other artists. This helped give Mick and Keith the confidence that they could be songwriters as well as performers.

I want you back again I want your love again I know you find it hard to reason with me But this time it's different, darling you'll see You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You said we're through before You walked out on me before I tried to tell you, but you didn't want to know This time you're different and determined to go You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me I wait as the days go by I long for the nights to go by I hear the knock on my door that never comes I hear the telephone that hasn't rung You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me You gotta tell me you're coming back to me

Time Is on My Side" is a song written by
Jerry Ragovoy (under the
pseudonym of Norman Meade). First recorded by
jazz trombonist
Kai Winding and his Orchestra in 1963, it was covered by both
soul singer
Irma Thomas and
rock band The Rolling Stones in 1964. The Rolling Stones recorded a cover of the song for their second U.S. album
12 X 5, and a different version (featuring a guitar track over the organ intro, and improved harmony vocals) was included on their second UK album
The Rolling Stones No. 2 (1965). The
Andrew Loog Oldham-produced U.S. version was released on
September 26,
1964 (a month after Thomas' cover) and peaked at number six on the U.S.
Billboard Pop Singles Chart to become the Stones' first top ten hit in the U.S. (their last single, "
Tell Me", had gone no higher than the top forty). When they performed "Time Is on My Side" during their first guest spot on
The Ed Sullivan Show, Sullivan was shocked by their appearance and promised that they would never be invited onto the show again, but he subsequently invited them back several times. The Stones version is sung repeatedly by the demon
Azazel in the 1998
Denzel Washington film
Fallen.A live version of the song from the band's 1982 live album,
Still Life, reached number sixty-two on the UK singles chart.

lyric
I am the little red rooster Too lazy to crow for day I am the little red rooster Too lazy to crow for day Keep everything in the farm yard upset in every way The dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl Dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl Watch out strange cat people Little red rooster's on the prowl If you see my little red rooster Please drive him home If you see my little red rooster Please drive him home Ain't had no peace in the farm yard Since my little red rooster's been gone
The Stones' manager, Andrew Oldham, wanted them to record this in order to keep their image as a tough, naughty band, essentially the opposite of The Beatles. Their previous singles in England were "It's All Over Now," "Not Fade Away," and "I Wanna Be Your Man," all of which were successful, but moved them away from The Blues and into a more pop direction. Recording this raw Blues number was for their reputation

This was released in the US as a single in 1964 when many radio stations refused to play "Little Red Rooster," which contained lyrics that were too suggestive for many listeners. "Rooster" was #1 in England, but did not chart in the US.The original version is in mono. A stereo version was released in 1966 on their Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) compilation
