Quotes and Lyrics by The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active for over six decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era. In the early 1960s, the band pioneered the gritty, rhythmically driven sound that came to define hard rock. Their first stable line-up consisted of vocalist Mick Jagger, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts.

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
Paint It, Black, Album: Aftermath
I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Sympathy for the Devil, Album: Beggars Banquet
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
Brown Sugar, Album: Sticky Fingers
Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste
Time waits for no one, no favors has he
Time waits for no one, and he won't wait for me
Time Waits For No One, Album: It's Only Rock 'n Roll
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well, you might find
You get what you need
You Can't Always Get What You Want, Album: Let It Bleed
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
Sympathy for the Devil, Album: Beggars Banquet
