Monkey Man
Submitted for your review, the lyrics to the Rolling Stones Monkey Man.
"I'm a cold Italian pizza..." What?
I was just listening to the lyrics and I was rendered baffled, to say the least. I guess drugs (this is about drug, right?) make you say silly thing... Awesome Nicky Hopkins piano playing though.
Monkey Man
( jagger/richards)
Im a flea bit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
But Ive been bit and Ive been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well, I hope were not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey...

I always assumed it was about sex. With the Stones, it's usually a good bet that it's about sex (or, more broadly (so to speak), women) or drugs. Or sometimes sympathy for the Devil.
Wow, spooky. Guess what just popped up on the iPod?
Yes, I am a sack of broken eggs.
