The Big Chill /You can't always get what you want

Τις τελευταίες μέρες είναι το τραγούδι που σιγοτραγουδώ συνέχεια.Έτσι κι αλλιώς είναι το αγαπημένο μου χρόνια τώρα.Ακόμα καλύτερα όταν συνδιάζεται με μια άλλη αγαπημένη ταινία την "Μεγάλη Ανατριχίλα". Και μου ξυπνά μνήμες: Λέξεις γραμμένες με μαρκαδόρο στην επιφάνεια ενός καθρέπτη, χρόνια πριν, σε κάποιο ρετιρέ στου Γκύζη. Εποχές όπου ήδη συνειδητοποιούσες ότι "δεν μπορείς πάντα να παίρνεις αυτό που θέλεις". Και τα δύσκολα να είναι μπροστά, την ίδια στιγμή που για τους άλλους ο δρόμος ήταν ανοικτός και κατηφόρα. Κι εσύ να προσπαθείς να εκφραστείς μέσα από τον καθέπτη σ΄ένα κόσμο ανεστραμμένο. Ειρωνία.Ας είναι. Tουλάχιστον μάθαμε(ή μάλλον δεχτήκαμε), όπως λέει και το τραγούδι, ότι "αν προσπαθήσεις κάποια φορά θα βρείς αυτό το οποίο έχεις ανάγκη". Αφιερωμένο

Let It Bleed (1969)

I saw her today at a 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 her 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 you might find
You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "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
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And 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, 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
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh 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

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 you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...
