Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger, (born 26 July 1943) is an English musician, singer, songwriter and actor, best known as the lead vocalist and a founder member of The Rolling Stones.
Jagger's career has spanned over fifty years. Allmusic has described Jagger as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll". His distinctive voice and performance, along with Keith Richards' guitar style, have been the trademark of The Rolling Stones throughout the career of the band. In 1989, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with The Rolling Stones.
Jagger gained much press notoriety for admitted drug use and romantic involvements, and was often portrayed as a counterculture figure. In the late 1960s Jagger began acting in films (starting with Performance and Ned Kelly), to mixed reception. In 1985, Jagger released his first solo album, She's the Boss, and was knighted in 2003. In early 2009, he joined the eclectic supergroup SuperHeavy.
Jagger was born into a middle class family at Livingstone Hospital, in Dartford, Kent, England. His father, Basil Fanshawe ("Joe") Jagger (13 April 1913 – 11 November 2006), and his grandfather David Ernest Jagger were both teachers. His mother, Eva Ensley Mary (née Scutts; 6 April 1913 – 18 May 2000), born in New South Wales, Australia, was a hairdresser and an active member of the Conservative Party. Jagger is the elder of two sons (his brother Chris Jagger was born on 19 December 1947) and was raised to follow in his father's career path.
Hey now love, I'm right in the middle of
A hurricane that's blowing my way
God's above and all He's really thinking of is
How much pain we've gotta pay
Why do you do it?
'Cause it does for you
Why do I do it?
'Cause it does me too
Don't mind if I do
No, I don't mind if I do, yeah, yeah
Hey now love, why are you so scared of?
And light that breaks the darkest days
I've done stuff and things you've never heard of
Souls lost along the way
Why do you do it?
'Cause it does for you
Why do I do it?
'Cause it does me too
Don't mind if I do
No, I don't mind if I do, yeah, yeah
Hey now love, what are you made of?
From the clay unto the dust
It isn't love, you're afraid of
It's losing faith in all you trust
Why do you do it?
'Cause it does for you
Why do I do it?
'Cause it does me too
Why do you do it?
'Cause it does for you
Why do I do it?
'Cause it does me too
Don't mind if I do
No, I don't mind if I do, yeah, yeah
Altamont, tonight
Altamont
Altamont
Altamont
Altamont now we won't be the same
When we see each other again
If it all falls apart who is to blame
Don't you think it's time to get real
I want to scream out the way I feel
I'm so tired of watching you bail
Hey don't try to tell me it's okay
Don't turn me off and walk away
You've gotta set it straight
Close the door, but it won't go away
Tell me that it's out of your control
I'm not waiting for you anymore
Hey don't try to tell me it's okay
Don't turn me off and walk away
You've gotta set it straight
Altamont I'm on your side
Believe it or not I'm on you side
It's so hard to be you friend sometimes
Hey don't try to tell me it's okay
Don't turn me off and walk away
You've gotta set it straight
This is the sight
We had one day
On the High Mountain.
We saw a lamb with seven eyes
We saw a beast with seven horns
And a book sealed with seven seals.
Seven angels with seven trumpets
And seven bowls filled with anger.
Those are the pictures
Of what was
Of what is
Of what is to come.
We are the people
The rolling people
The why people
The waiting people
The wanting people
The tambourine people
The alternative people
