The Rolling Stones - Let It Loose / 1972

By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, hard-driving blues-based rock & roll that came to define hard rock. With his preening machismo and latent maliciousness, Mick Jagger became the prototypical rock frontman, tempering his macho showmanship with a detached, campy irony while Keith Richards and Brian Jones wrote the blueprint for sinewy, interlocking rhythm guitars. Backed by the strong yet subtly swinging rhythm section of bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts, the Stones became the breakout band of the British blues scene, eclipsing such contemporaries as the Animals and Them.

Whos that woman on your arm all dressed up to do you harm
And Im hip to what shell do, give her just about a month or two.
Bit off more than I can chew and I knew what it was leading to,
Some things, well, I cant refuse,
One of them, one of them the bedroom blues.
She delivers right on time, I cant resist a corny line,
But take the shine right off you shoes,
Carryin, carryin the bedroom blues.
Oo...

In the bar youre getting drunk, I aint in love, I aint in luck.
Hide the switch and shut the light, let it all come down tonight.
Maybe your friends think Im just a stranger,
Some face youll never see no more.

Let it all come down tonight.
Keep those tears hid out of sight, let it loose, let it all come down.
