This song, ventilator blues, stop breaking down, all remind me of the summers I worked on railroad tracks and scrap metal yards for my dad when I was in high school. They have a blue collar feel. I was doing a lot of coke at that time and listening to Exile on Main St. Listen to me, if youre going to dabble in the white lady, this is the album to do it with. also have a pot brownie to chill you out.

The lyrics of this song aren't anything special and that's the point, I think. Good ol' rock n roll--nothing fancy. You're right that Dylan and the Beatles, for the most part wrote better lyrics, but I a lot of the Stones lyrics are great. They've written great lyrics in well over a hundred songs. Maybe you just don't understand them.

I don't think this song means much of anything but it is one of their most underrated songs. Maybe the best song on Exile.

I love this song, it's probably one of my favourites on Exile, as well. Especially the end, where he's singing "Be my little baby for a while"; and the saxophone sounds like its in loops. Thank you god for the rolling stones :D hahaha

The first thing this song reminds me of is cocaine.

I always thought this song was about cocaine. Nonetheless, I love the opening riff.

Another great song off the best album of all time. I don't think you can really say Dylan or the Beatles wrote better lyrics than the Stones, or vice versa. The Stones lyrics are perfect for Jagger's voice and for their music. Dylan's lyrics are perfect for his music. You can't compare the two. Can you imagine Mick Jagger singing Blowing in the wind with just an accoustic guitar? When you listen to the stones you wan't songs about rock'nroll, drugs, booze and women (although they could, and did, write some deeper and very good lyrics).

JumpyJack i understand them, thank you very much. Don't let your love for the band blind your judgement. Willia 05, interesting point, but i'll hold my ground. Now boys (or ladies as the case may be) it's not that i don't think the world of Mick and the boys.....Sympathy, You Can't Always Get what you want, Gimmie Shelter are a few of the best written songs by anyone, but how many Lyrical cast offs do the Stones have? More than the Beatles , Dylan and Zeppelin combined i'd venture to say. See you on the boards mates.

You just have to really like this band to actually appreciate hidden treasures. And by the way, the Beatles have really plain and simple lyrics.

I'm a little surprised anyone who has done any significant amount of coke would say anything that might encourage it's use. It's sunk many a great mind. I digress. upon reflection i think this song is about the band and being on the road.

Coke seems like a reach to me...... I'm the biggest stone fan alive, but let's face it Zeppelin, Dylan and even the Beatles wrote the better lyrics. The stones are about the 2 guitars and Jagger....but not the lyrics.
