Are you trying to imply Micks not from the deep south JB? The ever changing Jagger voice has always amused me, from well spoken middle class young man to naughty cockney to cringe inducing faux American accent. Still, when you've got his money!

Mark George , WHA' , Y'MEAN , SOUTH OF LONDON?
I've been too busy to just look it up , but , for eons (That's aoens in Yankeese.)
I thought Jagger was saying " I'm gonna hit and run rape her in anger"
(In "Midnight Rambler" ) , which , I thought , even for him , was misogynistic as Hell , though , obviously , not coming from the First Person P.O.V. , but from a role played in the song. But , then , it occured to me , he was probably saying "Rapier" , as he's reading off a list of weapons ( " Knife - sharpened tipee - toe , shoot 'em dead....cloak and dagger....stick my knife right down your throat".).I also thought an audience member was saying "CODS , HAM !!! CODS , HAM !!!" , BUT , Rock'n'Roll fucks upyour ears.
Mark George Harrison said:Sorry JB, I did wonder at you getting something wrong!
A lot of Jaggers lyrics are hard to decipher due to his 'southern drawl!'
John Battles said:THAT'S WHAT i WAS SAYING , THAT THE CORRECT WORD WAS RAPIER , THE WAY I ORIGINALLY HEARD IT , THOUGH , WAS RAZOR. FROM "HONKY TONK WOMEN ON , IT'S CORRECT LYRIC , FIRST. ANYONE WANT TO TACKLE "MIDNIGHT RAMBLER , AND STAY FASHIONABLE , WHILE WE'RE AT IT?

( I thought they were saying "Coffee" in reference the suposedly surefire way to revive an OD victim by pouring hot coffee down their throat , which , reportedly , is how original Dolls Drummer, Billy Murcia , died. ).

" I first produced me pistol , and then produced my rapier."
"And then produced my razor.''.
David Bowie - "Hang on To Yourself" - "And we move around like tigers on vaseline"
"If you like f*gg*ts and vaseline". I'm sorry , that IS what it sounded like until I saw the actual lyrics.
"All The Madmen "- "My libido split on me , give me some good old lobotomy."
"And The Beatles split on me...." (Very topical for 1971.)
