I see a red door and I want it painted black<br>No colors anymore, I want them to turn black<br>I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes<br>I have to turn my head until my darkness goes<br> <br>I see a line of cars and they're all painted black<br>With flowers and my love, both never to come back<br>I see people turn their heads and quickly look away<br>Like a new born baby, it just happens every day<br> <br>I look inside myself and see my heart is black<br>I see my red door, I must have it painted black<br>Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts<br>It's not easy facing up, when your whole world is black

Yes, star-crossed in pleasure, the stream flows on by<BR>Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly, yes<BR>And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me...<BR>Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face<BR>Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste<BR>Time waits for no one, no favors has he

I'd play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar; I was trying to pick up rock'n'roll riffs and electric blues-the latest Muddy Waters. I'd spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again.

What interested me about Chuck Berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. We used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. We'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. You can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". You're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.

I thought it was ludicrous to take one of those gongs from the establishment...it's not what the Stones is about, is it? I don't want to step out on stage with someone wearing a fucking coronet and sporting the old ermine. I told Mick, It's a fucking paltry honour.

There are certain guys that are band players and there's certain guys that ain't. If there's anybody lazier than me, it's Eric (Clapton).
