Jig-Saw Puzzle (Jagger/Richards)
There's a tramp sittin' on my doorstep
Tryin to waste his time
with
his mentholated sandwich
He's a walking clothes line
And here comes the
bishops daughter
On the other side
She looks a triffle jeolous
She's
been an outcast all her life
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I'm just trying to do
my jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore
Oh the gangster looks so frightning
with his luger in his hand
when he
gets home to his children
he's a family man
but when it comes to the
nitty-gritty
he can shove in his knife
Yes he really looks quite
religious
He's been an outlaw all his life
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I'm just trying to do
this jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I'm just trying to do
this jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore
Oh the singer, he looks angry
At being thrown to the lions
And the bass
player, he looks nervous
About the girls outside
And the drummer, he was
shattered
Trying to keep up time
And the guitar players look
damaged
They've been outcasts all thier lives
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I'm just trying to do
this jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore
And as twenty thousand grandma's
Waving thier hankies in the air
All
burning up their pensions
And shouting, "It's not fair!"
There's a
regiment of soldiers
Standing looking on
And the queen is bravely
shouting,
"What the Hell is going on?"
With a blood-curdling "tally-ho"
She charged into the ranks
And blessed
all those grandma's who
With their dying breaths screamed, "Thanks!"
Me, I'm waiting so patiently
With my woman on the floor
We're just
trying to do this jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore
