Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to The Rolling Stones or about the 1970s in general.

Casino Boogie, a 1972 release by The Rolling Stones, mayyyyyyyyyyyyy be a little bit about gambling. The song features a chaos of almost incomprehensible lyrics that some say is done in the style of cut-ups. this is similar to the way that William Burroughs crafts his poetry.

Casino Boogie was recorded in the South of France at the villa that Keith Richards owned at the time. This early part of the 1970’s was when The Rolling Stones took a semi-sabbatical for the express reason of avoiding taxes in England. It was a time of a hedonistic lifestyle for the band, where they would sleep all day, go to Monte Carlo to the casinos, then work on their album and songs all night.

Nowadays, with the varying members of the Stones being in their 70’s, they’d be better served to get up super early, go for a walk, get some exercise and if they have to gamble, do it online at 888ambking.net so they can avoid the stresses of travel and partying on their geriatric bodies.

No good, can’t speak, wound up, no sleep.
Sky diver insider her, skip rope, stunt flyer.
Wounded lover, got no time on hand.
One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam.
Pause for bus’ness, hope you’ll understand.
Judge and jury walk out hand in hand.
Dietrich movies, close up boogies,
Kissing cunt in Cannes.
Grotesque music, million dollar sad.
Got no tactics, got no time on hand.
Left shoe shuffle, right shoe muffle,
Sinking in the sand.
Fade out freedom, steaming heat on,
Watch that hat in black.
Finger twitching, got no time on hand.
