One of the best straight-ahead rock 'n roll songs ever. I'm glad to see what the lyrics are in some places, 'cause as with several Stones songs they're kind of muddled to my ears just from listening to the recording. On this one in particular I had not figured out that Jagger was singing "Pavlov dog."
However, I do think the second line isn't "just had a fortnight's sleep," but "just had a full night's sleep." Could be wrong, but doesn't that make more sense?
@greendreamer I agree, a fortnight is an awful long time to be asleep ha ha. Maybe the guy from Sister Morphine actually survived? I could see him being asleep ( as in Coma) for two weeks!

@greendreamer -- I looked up "fortnight's sleep" and it's valid; it's a saying some English folk use to say they got a lot of rest. So that is the correct lyric.

One of the best songs to mention Pavlov's dogs, along with "Brian Wilson" by the Barenaked Ladies.
