Too Much Blood
The Rolling Stones · The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]
I want to bust up everything
to make some love
want to dance, I want to sing,
I want to bust up everything
and make some love
I can feel it in the air feel it up above
feel the tension everywhere, there's too much blood
Too much blood
well alright
Everything you see on the movie screen is tame
???
A freind of mine was this japanese, he had a girlfriend in Paris.
He tried to date her, in six months and eventually she said yes.
You know he took her to his apartment, cut off her head.
Put the rest of her body in the refrigerator, ate her piece
by piece. Put her in the refrigeratior, put her head in the
freezer. And when he ate her and took her bones to the Bois
de Boulogne. By chance, a taxi driver noticed him burying the
bones. You don't believe me; truth is stranger than fiction.
We drive through there every day.
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
be number one
want to dance, I want to sing,
I want to bust up everything
and have some fun
I can feel it in the air feel it up above
feel the tension everywhere, there's too much blood
Too much blood
Well alright
Did you ever see the Texas Chain Saw Massacre? Horrible, wasn't it.
You know, people ask me "is it really true where you live in Texas,
is that really true what they do around there, people?" I say,
"yea, every time I drive through the crossroads I get scared, there's
a bloke running round with a fucking chain saw. Oh! Oh! oh No, he's
gonna cut off, Oh no. Don't saw off me leg, don't saw off me arm."
When I go to the movies, you know, I would like to see something
more romantic you know, like "An Officer and a Gentleman" or
something. Something you can take the wife to, you know
what I mean?
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
and have some fun
want to dance, I want to sing,
I want to bust up everything
and make some love
I can feel it in the air feel it up above
feel the tension everywhere, there's too much blood
Too much blood
Well alright
Pretty ladies don't be scared, pretty ladies don't be scared.
Pretty ladies don't be scared, yeah, there is still so much love.
Yeah, too much...
