the rolling stones - you can't always get what you want - stereo remix II
Edit 2 for headphones. (Less channel separation, more bass, more brass, more of everything.) This is an edit of the version of a Japanese "Let It Bleed" blu-ray cd (2013 cat. 018771812425). "You can't Always Get" was recorded on November 16 & 17, 1968. First released on "Let It Bleed" in 1969. Brian Jones ran into Al Kooper outside the studio during a break in the recording and invited him in to play on the track. Kooper became a main contributor to the song, whereas Jones didn't play on the cut. Brass instruments, great idea, Brian!
Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Acoustic & electric guitars: Keith Richards. Maracas & congas: Rocky Dijon. Bass: Bill Wyman. French Horn: Al Kooper. Piano & organ: Al Kooper. Drums: Jimmy Miller. Choir: London Bach Choir. Background vocals: Madeline Bell, Nanette Newman, Doris Troy & the London Bach Choir.
YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
(Jagger/Richards)
Choir:
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was, footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you might find
You get what you need
Oh yea-ay (hey-hey-hey, oooh)
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singin', 'We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't, we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse'
Sing it to me, now
(You can't always get what you want)
(You can't always get what you want)
(You can't always get what you want)
But if you try sometimes, well you just might find
You get what you need
Ooh baby, yeah, ooh
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standin' in line with Mr. Jimmy
A-man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was 'dead'
I said to him
(You can't always get what you want) well no!
(You can't always get what you want) tell ya baby
(You can't always get what you want) no
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, mmm!
Mmm! you get what you need
Ooh yes! Woo!
(Instrumental & choir) Ooow-ooh!
You get what you need
Yeah!
Ooow, babe!
Ooh, yeah
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands
Say it!
(You can't always get what you want) yeah!
(You can't always get a-what you want) ooo-yeah, baby!
(You can't always get a-what you want)
But if you try sometime, you just might find
You just might find
