Start Me Up Lyrics
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Never, never
Slide it up
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop, never stop
You, you make a dead man cum
You, you make a dead man cum

This song, like most Stones songs was about...wait for it... wait for it..... SEX, what a surprise.

Not "dead man cum", it should be "dead man come". Jeez.
lol
lol

it is spelled come and it means ejaculate. If it's a verb (action word) meaning to ejaculate, then it is spelled COME, but if it is a noun (person place or thing) it is spelled CUM. IE Come on my tits baby! You got cum on my tits, baby! this isn't necesarilly how it really is. I just made this rule up on the fly, but I really think it should catch on if you spread the word. Also, as a side note, traditionally come is always spelled COME no matter what it means. However, porno magazines spell it CUM in order to give it a distinction from the other word. So, if you think it is spelled cum, then you read a lot of porn, and are therefore a loser, because porn should be looked at and not read.

I thought it was about a lawnmower...really I thought it was about whoopee... Or a Windows commercial.
LOL. It's written by Jagger and Richards so you know it has to be about SEX. Mick wasn't gifted those big lips and his strong shaking hips for nothin'.

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think this song is about sex. i mean c'mon "if you star me up i'll never stop" [when you turn me on, i'll go on all night long?] "slide it up, slide it up" [hmmm]. "my hands are greasy..." [hmmm again]. "ride like the wind, at double speed, i'll take u places that you've never ever seen.." and of course "you make a grown man cry, you make a dead man cum.." lol. overall though. terrific song. definitely gets ya goin. you'll never stop, hah.

This song is about the passions a man has for his car. The part in the song "You make a grown man cry Spread out the oil, the gasoline I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine Start it up" Mick Jagger is probably referring to a race car. More than likely a drag car. The next verse about his eyes dialating is what its like at the beginning of the race before the lights turn green. Its just my take on it..but hey, i'm not telling you anything that you dont already know.

What's Mick saying at the end? Huh? huh?

I could care less about finding what this song means, since its had me stumped since the minute I heard it. Great song.

you make a dead man come,
i love that line
WHY? It's idiotic, adolescent-style, sophomoric, garbage. Neither men NOR women can climax after being deceased.

This song is kick ass. But really what I think this song is about is a woman who leads a guy on and...doesnt follow through. And on top of never putting out for a guy she is so hot she can make a dead man CUM(or ejaculate(sp?)).
