Rolling Stones Background BIO:

"The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. A diverging act to the popular pop rock of the early-1960s, the Rolling Stones pioneered the gritty, heavier-driven sound that came to define hard rock. Their first stable line-up was bandleader Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica, keyboards), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica), Keith Richards (guitar, vocals), Bill Wyman (bass guitar), and Charlie Watts (drums). The band's primary songwriters, Jagger and Richards, assumed leadership after Andrew Loog Oldham became the group's manager. Jones left the band less than a month before his death in 1969, having already been replaced by Mick Taylor, who in turn left in 1974 to be replaced by Ronnie Wood. Since Wyman's departure in 1993, Darryl Jones has served as bassist.

Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the British Invasion in 1964, also being identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. The band then found more success with their own material with "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Get Off of My Cloud" and "Paint It Black" becoming international No. 1 hits. Aftermath (1966) – their first entirely original album – is considered the most important of their formative records. In early 1967, the group had the double-sided hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together" and then briefly experimented with psychedelic rock. They returned to their 'bluesy' roots with such major hits as "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1968) and "Honky Tonk Woman" (1969), and albums such as: Beggars Banquet (1968), featuring the single "Sympathy for the Devil"; Let It Bleed (1969), including "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter"; Sticky Fingers (1971), featuring "Brown Sugar"; and, Exile on Main St. (1972), featuring "Tumbling Dice". In 1969, they were first introduced as 'The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World'." Read more at WIkipedia.com

LYRICS:

"Start Me Up"

If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop

I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

Start it up
If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got to, you got to
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats

If you rough it up
If you like it I can slide it up, slide it up, slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine

Start it up
Start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop

Slide it up
Baby up just slide it up
Start it up, start it up, start it up
Never, never, never

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen

If you start it up
Love the day and we will never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man come
You, you make a dead man come

Writer(s): M. Jagger, K. Richards

I hope you like it,
