Für meinen Geschmack habe ich Jagger selbst lange nicht mehr so engagiert gehört wie hier. Was nicht heißen soll, dass er seit 25 Jahren nicht richtig bei der Sache wäre aber der Gesang springt einem förmlich an, was ich aus meiner Erinnerung letztmalig bei den ruppigeren Platten Girls, Emotional oder gar Dirty so wahrgenommen habe u. ich liebe es. Diesen Song nur über die Tube am PC hören zu können macht mich allerdings krank. Noch dazu schreit die coole Grrr Lyricsgrafitti nach einem Singlescover.
Den Text sollte man sowieso genießen:
Gloom & Doom
I had a dream last night
That I was piloting a plane
And all the passengers were drunk and insane
I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp
Shot up a horde of zombies
But I come out on top
What’s it all about?
It just reflects my mood
Sitting in the dirt
Feeling kind of hurt
Aaaaall I hear is doooom and gloom
And aaaaall is darkness in my room
Through the light your face I see
Baby take a chance
Baby won’t you dance with meeeeee
Lost all that treasure in an overseas war
It just goes to show you don’t get what you paid for
Battle to the rich and you worry about the poor
Put my feet up on the couch
And lock all the doors
Hear a funky noise
That’s the tightening of the screeeeews
I’m feeling kind of hurt
Sitting in the dirt
Aaaaall I hear is doooom and gloom
But when those drums go boom boom boom
Through the night your face I see
Baby take a chance
Baby won’t you dance with meeee
Yeah
Baby won’t you dance with meeee
Oh yeah
Fracking deep for …
But there’s nothing in the sump
There’s kids all picking
Ar the garbage dumb
I’m running out of water
So I better prime the pump
I’m trying to stay sober
But I end up drunk
We’ll be eating dirt
Living on the side of the roooaaad
There’s some food for thought
Kind of makes your head explode
Feeling kind of hurt
Yeah
But aaaall I hear is doooom and gloom
