Sympathy for the Devil
(Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many man's soul and faith
And I was round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastsia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my name, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzking you
Is the nature of my name, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're too blame
Oh, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Woo, woo
Woo, woo
這首歌在60年代可以算是離經叛道之作
曲中Mick以魔鬼的口吻嘲笑著這世界
也讓很多人將搖滾樂與叛逆、魔鬼劃上等號
這些嚴肅的話題就先放著吧
本曲的專輯版本聽起來還真有點詭異的氣氛
若是不喜歡可以試試演唱會的版本
那完全是道地的搖滾演出
收錄在Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out專輯中
曲中間奏電吉他的狂飆
每個音符都準確到位
聽了一定讓你愛不釋手
