Radio Paradise (mobile)

There's a tramp sittin' on my doorstep
Tryin' to waste his time
With his methylated sandwich
He's a walking clothesline

And here comes the Bishop's daughter
On the other side
And she looks a trifle jealous
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 jigsaw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

Oh, the gangster looks so fright'ning
With his luger in his hand
But 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 jigsaw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

Me, I'm waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I'm just trying to do this jigsaw 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's so shattered
Trying to keep up time
And the guitar players look damaged
They've been outcasts all their lives

Me, I'm waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I'm just trying to do this jigsaw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

Oh, there's twenty-thousand grandmas
Wave their 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 grandmas who
With their dying breaths screamed, "Thanks"

Me, I'm just waiting so patiently
With my woman on the floor
We're just trying to do this jigsaw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

gatorade Aug 04, 2011 - 20:36	Wow. Forgot about this song entirely. Best LP of the Stones, imo. [ Reply ]
tomcool Jul 04, 2011 - 11:45	"Me I'm waiting so patiently Lying here on the floor I'm just trying to do this jigsaw puzzle Before it rains anymore." I've been listening to this song a lot recently. For some reason, these lyrics have a real resonance with me. [ Reply ]

MojoJojo Mar 31, 2011 - 15:46	I am fascinated with the album cover. Trying to pick out the more interesting additions to the wall. Taco Thighs Bob Dylans dream (pointing to the flush lever) God rolls his own!! Dandy '65 Keep Out! Snack Time Friend of mine DOWNEY Champion sticker under the toilet lid Beef jerky (can't make out subtext) Two crosses (what's the type with the loopy thing at the top? I always forget) Kilroy, without the "Kilroy was here". Peace symbol L O V E on the fingers of a hand Although staggeringly unlikely, if I ever make my own album I would use every one of these for song titles. [ Reply ]
carlos65 Mar 31, 2011 - 15:36	yeh, this is getting boring now. As someone previous said, 'like the stones doing a stones cover'. Recently listened to the remaster of 'Exile....' and was totally underwhelmed. I like the stones but have they ever made a great album? [ Reply ]

Possibly the typical Lady GaGa fan gives this album little attention, but what does the term underrated mean? I think bachbeet meant that this album and song are not often considered among the greatest of The Stones' works by critics, etc. [ Reply ]
