You Can't Always Get What You Want...

[Black_Bird]

I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh....

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...

What did you want that you didn't get?
What did you need that you got instead?

I wanted to fall in love. I got me.

Which isn't so bad, not that I think of it.

Only song i could think of with a blackbird

BLACKBIRD
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

No there's this one too! lol

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie!
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting house,
Counting all the money
The queen was in the parlor,
Eating bread with honey
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes
When down came a blackbird
Who snapped off her nose!

 

[Black_Bird]

That is one sick sick nursery rhyme.

I like it.

What did you want that you didn't get?
What did you need that you got instead?

A perfect relationship.
A better me.

Too true.

 

[red_rose]

What did you want that you didn't get?
What did you need that you got instead?

Love.

A rosebush.

 

[cymbidia]

What did you want that you didn't get?

A lifelong partner who grew and changed as i did, not in an identical way - that would be impossible - but as flexibly, as creatively, as forward-thinkingly as i've done.

What did you need that you got instead?

An appreciation for the incredible joy to be had in small, quiet moments. An awareness of the fragility of love when it's pasted up against a life's worth of years. A very intimate understanding of the epheremal nature of shared emotions.

Live your life now, today, in this moment.
Say what you need to say to whomever you need to say.
Love where you can.
Cry when you need to.

You don't get tomorrow as a given.

Heh... You're hitting on my current situation without even knowing it. You're cool that way.

Yeah... except I have a reason behind it.

I'm claiming 3=8. Even though I'm not apart of an order, I'm claiming it anyway. Why the fuck not?

Well yeah!

Do what thou wilt.
