HEY YOU GET OFFA MY TANK
Sir Mick Jagger forgot the words to classic Rolling Stones song ‘Ruby Tuesday’ during a concert last week. Mick covered up his memory loss by singing the same verse twice. He also has an oxygen tank backstage to help him get through his grueling live shows.
Hey you get offa my tank.
I need all that oxygen
it’s my memory bank
for when the words go away
and all I can do
is repeat the first verse
in place of verse number two.
Hey you get offa my tank.
Can’t hit high notes without it
and my mind goes as blank
as Keef’s face when he’s hunting
up coconut trees.
Without my oxygen hit
I go weak at the knees.
Hey you get offa my tank…
Err…I need all that oxygen
…it’s my memory bank
for when the… words go away
…and all I can do
is repeat the first verse
in place of verse number… three
