The Rolling Stones - Shattered lyrics

Your rating:

Shattered, shattered 
Love and hope and sex and dreams 
Are still surviving on the street 
Look at me, I`m in tatters! 
I`m a shattered 
Shattered 

Friends are so alarming 
My lover`s never charming 
Life`s just a cocktail party on the street 
Big Apple 
People dressed in plastic bags 
Directing traffic 
Some kind of fashion 
Shattered 

Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex 
Look at me, I`m in tatters 
I`m a shattered 
Shattered 

All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter `bout 
Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta -- I can`t give it away on 7th Avenue 
This town`s been wearing tatters (shattered, shattered) 
Work and work for love and sex 
Ain`t you hungry for success, success, success, success 
Does it matter? (Shattered) Does it matter? 
I`m shattered. 
Shattered 

Ahhh, look at me, I`m a shattered 
I`m a shattered 
Look at me- I`m a shattered, yeah 

Pride and joy and greed and sex 
That`s what makes our town the best 
Pride and joy and dirty dreams and still surviving on the street 
And look at me, I`m in tatters, yeah 
I`ve been battered, what does it matter 
Does it matter, uh-huh 
Does it matter, uh-huh, I`m a shattered 

Don`t you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up 
To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough! 
You got rats on the west side 
Bed bugs uptown 
What a mess this town`s in tatters I`ve been shattered 
My brain`s been battered, splattered all over Manhattan 

Uh-huh, this town`s full of money grabbers 
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don`t mind the maggots, huh 
Shadoobie, my brain`s been battered 
My friends they come around they 
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter 
Pile it up, pile it high on the platter
