The Rolling Stones - Some Girls: Wikipedia Album Entry
Some Girls is an album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1978. Considered a highlight of their output and the best of their post-Exile on Main St. records, the album revitalized the band's career upon its release and re-established The Rolling Stones as a vital rock and roll band in an era infused with punk rock and disco. It also became the band's biggest-selling album in the United States, with more than six million copies to date.
With the advent of punk rock, The Rolling Stones, among many of their musical contemporaries, were being targeted by some in the movement as cultural dinosaurs, compromising their standing. Mick Jagger felt invigorated by the provocations and was determined to answer them lyrically. It helped, however, that almost all the punks had, openly or not, idolized the Stones in the 1960s and were heavily influenced by the band's rebellious records from that era.
At least as important for the band's reinvigoration was the addition of Ronnie Wood to the lineup, as Some Girls was the first album recorded with him as a full member. His guitar playing style meshed with that of Keith Richards. Wood's pedal steel playing would become one of the band's hallmarks, and his unconventional uses of the instrument are prominent on Some Girls. In addition, Jagger, who had learned to play guitar over the previous decade, contributed a third guitar part to many songs. This gave songs like "Respectable" a three-guitar lineup.

The Rolling Stones - Some Girls Lyrics
The Rolling Stones - Respectable Lyrics
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
If there's a problem sir you better keep it better
The Rolling Stones - Lies Lyrics
Lies, dripping off your mouth like dirt
Lies, lie in every step you walk
Lies, whispered sweetly in my ear
Lies, how do I get out of here?
The Rolling Stones - Just My Imagination Lyrics
I look out my window and watch her as she passes by
I said to myself I'm such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is strictly a dream come true
And of all the girls in New York she loves me true
The Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes Lyrics
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to Gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"
The Rolling Stones - Before They Make Me Run Lyrics
Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone and it really hit home
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
Well here's another goodbye to another good friend
The Rolling Stones - Beast Of Burden Lyrics
I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
The Rolling Stones - When The Whip Comes Down Lyrics
When the whip comes down
Yeah Mama and Papa told me see I was crazy to stay
I was gay in New York, just a fag in L.A.
The Rolling Stones - Some Girls Lyrics
Some girls give me money
Some girls buy me clothes
Some girls give me jewelry
That I never thought I'd own
The Rolling Stones - Shattered Lyrics
Shattered, shattered
Love and hope and sex and dreams are still survivin' on the street
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I'm shattered, shattered
The Rolling Stones - Miss You Lyrics
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord, I miss you
