Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself
Edited on Sun Mar-27-05 02:22 PM by MrScorpio
I’m a man of wealth and taste

I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul and faith

And 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
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name

But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general’s rank

When the blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
’cause I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what’s my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what’s my name
I tell you one time, you’re to blame

Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What’s me name
Tell me, baby, what’s my name
Tell me, sweetie, what’s my name

Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah

8. What bothers me about your second picture is that
it looks more like Benedict Arnold than George Washington on the right.

10. Now that couldn't be done to an Oasis song
that ought to shut the Oasis cult up for a while. Someone actually claimed they were better than the Stones! In my book, that's a capital offense. I'd say who but it would amount to calling out.

Great job Scorpio!

17. I think the DNC needs to ask the Stones if they can use this for
the next election cycle! This would make a fantastic commercial!

23. That is superb. I was listening to this last night and am going to
put it on again.Images really match the lyrics. "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Gimme Shelter" are even more relevant now than when they were recorded over thirty five years ago.

An aside: Axl Rose should be whipped for turning this masterpiece into a dirge.
