Ruby Tuesday Lyrics
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained to a
life where nothing's gained and nothing's lost at such a cost
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
There's no time to lose I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained to a
life where nothing's gained and nothing's lost at such a cost
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
I'll miss you

I know some hardcore Rolling Stones fan is going to hunt me down and stab me for saying this.
But I really enjoy this version better than the original. I had always known of the song but it was never my cup of tea. Then I saw the excellent film Children of Men (which I recommend to everyone to go and rent or buy) and fell in love with it.
Partially because the scene it was featured in was particularly sad but it fit it so well.
wow this song is awesome in the same collosal vitality of the rolling stones. so depressing and yet uplifting. i also heard it on children of men. i hunted it down cause i couldnt get it off my mind. theres some girl that sits across from me in my spanish class her name is ruby. damn! she is the hottest firl in the world and i listen to this as i pretend to not look at her.
It has one obvious meaning and one that could be a different interpretation:
1) He's singing about a girl called Ruby (who left on a tuesday) because she wanted to be free and didn't want a 'name hung' (label) on her and that he's going to miss.
2) He's singing about a tuesday when Ruby hung herself hence all the death hints (eg, dying all the time; hang a name) and absence (e.g missing you and yesterday doesn't matter if its gone) and, in death, she's free
