Turd On The Run Lyrics
Grabbed hold of your coat tail but it come off in my hand,
I reached for your lapel but it weren't sewn on so grand
Begged, promised anything if only you would stay,
Well, I lost a lot of love over you
Fell down to my knees and I hung onto your pants,
But you just kept on runnin' while they ripped off in my hands
Di'mond rings, vaseline, you give me disease,
Well, I lost a lot of lover over you
I boogied in the ballroom, I boogied in the dark;
Tie you hands, tie you feet, throw you to the sharks
Make you sweat, make you scream, make you wish you'd never been,
I lost a lot of love over you
I reached for your lapel but it weren't sewn on so grand
Begged, promised anything if only you would stay,
Well, I lost a lot of love over you
Fell down to my knees and I hung onto your pants,
But you just kept on runnin' while they ripped off in my hands
Di'mond rings, vaseline, you give me disease,
Well, I lost a lot of lover over you
I boogied in the ballroom, I boogied in the dark;
Tie you hands, tie you feet, throw you to the sharks
Make you sweat, make you scream, make you wish you'd never been,
I lost a lot of love over you

I always think this song is about some guy from Mick's youth. If it is about someone specific, I can't tell who, but I've always liked the deliberate high/low contrast in the lyrics.
hmmm, sounds to me llike it's about a guy who is getting the worst of it in a relationship......some very cool lyrics.
He gives her diamond rings and she gives him the disae......made the sleve so you no Mick loved it
cool title
fave song on exile on main street
sound like chuck berry's song...
Obvious lyrics. This one has potential.
I actually think this is a song about a gay love affair gone wrong. Look at some of the lyrics - "reached for your lapel", "hung onto your pants", "diamond rings, Vaseline, you give me disease", etc. In any case, while it has a sort of cool boogie rhythm to it, I think it is by far the weakest moment on 'Exile'. In fact, I feel it is the ONLY weak moment on 'Exile'.
it's a great blues, boogie song and like all the songs on Exile is unique in its own features. Definitely another classic.
A partody on Paul McCartneys Wings album called "Band On The Run".
Exile on Main St. came out before Band on the Run.
