Sir Michael Philip Jagger b. July 26, 1943

Well now we're respected in society, 

We don't worry about the things that we used to be. 

We're talking heroin with the president, 

Well it's a problem, sir, that we can't prevent.

Michelle, my belle.

These are words that go together well,

My Michelle.

Michelle, my belle.

Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,

Très bien ensemble.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

That's all I want to say.

Until I find a way

I will say the only words I know that

You'll understand.

Ian Hunter b. June 3, 1939

The shows gotta move, everybody groove

There ain't no trouble on the streets now.

So if the going gets rough,

Don't you blame us

You ninety-six decible freaks!

You gotta stay young, you can never grow old

It's good for your body, it's good for your soul

It's the golden age of rock and roll.

Is caged by frail and fragile bonds,
Restless by day
And by night, rants and rages at the stars,
