Cover art for 100 Years Ago lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

IMOP it's about weed.

O the day's of smoking weed and not having a care in the world

"The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange And it seemed about a hundred years ago

Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky"

When do you see Dragons in the sky? Mary we all know is short for Marijana.....and the buds ,,,,,sweat smell etc.

this is one of the few set of lyrics the stones wrote after 72 worth reading.

I do disagree Goat's Head Soup is a fine album. And when you consider the fact if the guitar was more out in front in Star star we might have ourselves another strong rocker.

@pt I hope for your sake you don’t feel the same: Star Star doesn’t have enough IN YOUR FACE guitar?!? The entire song is a a Mick Taylor showcase (other than the lyrics, of course)...that comment makes zero sense.
