![]() Forty Licks (2002) [ larger cover art ] |
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,

But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!

Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Nov 16, 2012 - 10:19 One of the very finest songs by one of the finest and greatest — but also one of the most over-rated bands — of all time. |
| d48m02h1918 | Posted: Nov 16, 2012 - 10:19 Love this 45 cover - how powerful were these guys at the time this single was released? |
| BigIslandBlues | Posted: Nov 16, 2012 - 10:18 Oh Yaah. Automatic 10. |

| GwentRabbit (South Wales) | Posted: Jul 13, 2012 - 14:46 At the time of writing, this scores only 8.4. C'mon people! This deserves more. |

| Larry_Rosenow (Bend, OR) | Posted: Apr 09, 2012 - 11:10 Another flash to the past....as a member of a teenage rock"n roll band in the sixties it was one of my favorites. Then 1999 Bridges of Babylon Tour in Portland stood on my seat and played air guitar while Jagger screamed it. Keep on Jump'n. |

When I'm in a really good mood and I hear this, I think about Whoopi Goldberg in the movie "Jumpin' Jack Flash" when she's trying to figure out what the code key is, and she does "Jagger-step!" (That rooster-strut thing...) Can't help but dance. ![]() Me too...its nice when a movie adds to enjoyment of music, rather than reducing it. |
