No.

There's been a lot of chat about what the "she" of the song is, on the LB song thread. I won't bore everyone with it again but go backwards in that thread if you're interested enough. I really like the lyrics, give or take a few lines. I don't even mind the "catchy" chorus lyrics because everything else digs down deeper, so the chorus is just designed to catch the ear and does it well enough. The problem is it turns just as many people off, so they'll never spend time to dig deeper, but whatever. I found this song a trainwreck at Wrigley and I don't here

[Okonkwo]

Most embarrassing song of the aughts.

[Birds in Hell]

Most embarrassing song of the aughts.

Haha, not even close.

[Lounge Lizard]

Is this just another phase
Of earthquakes making waves
Trying to shake the cancer off
Oh, stupid human beings
Once you hold the hand of love
It's all surmountable 

I thought it was 'once you hold the candle up'

[CupidStunt]

This post needs a bit of fixin' on it.

Love Boat Captain with Jumpin Jack Flash intro and a slightly extended jam. Almost a 7 minute tune. From the official Austin 2014 bootleg.



Love Boat Captain - 10/5/2014 - Austin, TX


On second thought, not sure how much this intro really sounds like the stones song, but its cool enough nonetheless

you go to hell

[Kaius]

I goddamn love this song.

[Kevin Davis]

This song sounds better to me the further it recedes into the annals of the band's history -- there is a heart-on-sleeve sincerity to it that for years felt unduly corny, but makes more sense to me as I look back with some distance on the intensity of the time. "Hold me and make it the truth/That when all is lost, there will be you," is a great lyric, and the strain in Eddie's voice surrounding it is convincing. I haven't listened to the new version of it but I can't imagine what connection it has to "Jumpin' Jack Flash."

[Norah]

That's a pretty cool way to intro the song.
