This town's dead tonight
I got no place to be
Moon is hung just right
Shine like diamonds on these streets

Redline wind me lonesome
Cutting clean through my heart
In my window smoking
While the midnight's setting in on rogers park

I come here with hopes and
Guess I came here with dreams
Now I'm all alone
I can't even get to sleep

So take my heart and break it in
Send me back to the pines
Tired of lying awake at night
Feels like I'm running outta time

See my dreams before my eyes
Shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake
Punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets
Of rogers park

So shadow boys are begging and I
Hear them down in the streets
Corner girls are waiting
For someone to take them off for keeps

There ain't no hope in healing them
There ain't no prayer for the poor
And all that's lost in stealing
She can't hold me anymore

See my dream before my eyes
Shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake
Punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets
Of rogers park
Oh through the lonely streets
Of rogers park

time for some gram....I still maintain that this version is superior to the stones version

 

You been smoking some of that stuff that fried Gram's brains??

Its good but not as good as the Stones.It was actually released before the Stones released theirs.They gave it to Gram as a favour

Yeah I know...but we will have to agree to disagree....grams version kicks ass...but then I am not a big stones fan so I may have a bias

Here's another version often overlooked. Superb. Good as the Stones? Good as the FBB? You decide...

I dunno man.

Once she tears in to the chorus my toenails curl back.

Some songs are maybe just not meant to be messed with .

 

The thing with many of the Stones tunes is that the voice of Jagger makes them what they are, I recon if we had him in this modern era with some of the modern bands ,we could label him as a great indie voice.

 

So, maybe an indie artist with a very unique voice might just nail a good cover .
