Cover art for Let It Bleed lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

The Stones wouldn't write such an obviously (and grossly) sexual song without there being a less dirty meaning underneath. Is this song also about friendship? e.g., coke & sympathy is obviously a reference to cocaine and "comfort", but maybe the line is secretly referring to a time when Keith listened to Mick's complaining over a Coca-Cola. Also the "bleed on", in addition to obviously referring to period sex, apparently also refers to a time Keith played until his fingers bled. I guess he got some on Mick and they thought it would be hilarious to turn that into a song about doing the nasty during shark week.
