Whole Wide World - Live at Racket, NYC Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

Yeah

The streets I used to walk on
Are full of broken glass
And everywhere I′m looking
Is memories of my past

The filthy flat in Fulham
The smell of sex and gas
I never, ever really knew
Where I was sleeping next

When the whole wide world's against you
And you′re standing in the rain
When all your friends have let you down
And treat you with disdain

When the whole wide world's against you
Life's got you on the run
You think the party is over
But it′s only just, only just begun


Behind the bars of prison
You′re never gettin' out
They′re gonna break your balls in those slimy walls
The guards are lady louts

The cameras that are watching you
They see your sullen face
Get me out the door, door can't keep me in no more
I′m breaking down the gates

When the whole wide world's against you
And you′re standing in the rain
You want someone beside you
To pull you up again

When the whole wide world's against you
Life's got you on the run
You think the party is over
But it′s only just, only just begun

When the dreary streets of London
They never promised much
A dead-end job to nowhere
And all your dreams are crushed


When the whole wide world′s against you
And you're standing in the rain
When all your friends have let you down
And treat you with disdain

And you think the party′s over
It's only just begun
Let′s raise a glass, get up and dance
'Cause life′s just hit and hit and

Hit-and-run
Hit-and-run
Hit-and-run
The party's over
Yes
The party's over
The party′s over
The party′s over
Come on

Thank you
Thank you, it's very kind of you
It′s very kind, oh
