E
(1)youre the kind of person you meet at certain dismal dull affairs
(2)when you were a child you were treated kind but never brought up right
(3)you were in school when you had that fool who really messed youre mind

centre of a crowd talking much to loud running up and down the stairs
you were overspoilt with a thousand toys and still you cried all night
and after that you turned your back on treating people kind

A
well it seems to me that you have seen to much in to few years
your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
on our first trip i tried so hard to rearrange you mind

E
and though youve tried you just cant hide your eyes are edged with tears
your fathers still perfecting ways of making sealing wax
but after a while i realised you were arranging mine

B(riff 2) A(riff 4)
youd better stop look around

E A
here it comes here it comes here it comes here it comes

E
here comes your 19th nervous breakdown


bridge
B E
oh whos to blame that girls just insane

A(riff 3) B(riff 2)
well nothing i do dont seem to work it only seems to make matters worse oh

E
please

This song is a perfect example of how quickly Mick Jagger turned from a mediocre to an excellent lyricist( Get Off My Cloud is another good example). He was very insightful for a 22/23 year old. I couldnt have written lyrics as good at that age---or now for that matter! I've never believed in all that sell your soul to the devil for instant fame garbage but it does seem like something very strange happened to the Stones around 1965 that turned them into excellent musicians.

In Marianne Faithfull's autobiography she states that the song is about Chrissie Shrimpton. Also, it's "sealing wax" not "ceiling wax."
