| The Rolling Stones – Till The Next Goodbye Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This songs is about about an illicit relationship between two lovers. The point of view, Jagger as narrator, speaks to the mistress apologetically and with a guilty conscience... In one line on the bridge, Jagger manages to convey empathy, culpability, and frustration: 'I can't go on like this/Can ya? Can ya?' On paper it seems clear, the narrator is asking out of the relationship (paraphrasing): "I can't do this, can ya?" But the way Jagger sings it, it sounds like he's asking, "You can't do this anymore, can you?" He's conveying a different meaning altogether, almost as if he is playing both parts in one line. |
