If you thought that Louie,Louie lyrics were unintelligible,check out Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones(Lyrics inside!)

[Lounatik]

I've always liked this song,making up words as I hummed the tune,but towards the end of the song Mick Jagger belts out a completely garbled line accompanied by a backup singer who mumbles right along with him.Now that I've found the lyrics they are deeply disturbing to me.Oh,and they probably give Louie,Louie a run for the most unintelligble lyrics of all time.Check it out:


Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

The floods is threat'ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away


So,whaddyathink? Did the lyrics match up with the words you always sang? Probably not.






Peace
