Mick Jagger - Lonely At The Top Lyrics






Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Lonely
God know's you're ambitious, see you push so hard
You want to get to the top of the heap from Sunset Boulevard
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray

'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot!
It's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot!
They're going to tear your soul away

Theater is deserted and the boards are bare
You're next up for the reading and you're feeling scared
Oh, but you really want the part so bad
Yeah, go on, show them how a star should act

Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot
Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot
They're going to tear your soul away

You could be a doctor, you could be a nurse
There's no time to rehearse
You work as a waitress, you clean up the bar
But soon you'll be noticed, you'll be a star

You get your nomination, your heart's beating fast
Yes, and the winner is you! You won the prize at last
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray

'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top
Yeah, baby, it's hot!
They're going to strip your soul away
It's lonely, lonely
It's lonely
You get hungry, you get thirsty
You know you get thirsty...

    The only good thing about this is of course the presence of Jeff Beck. Enough said.

    +djclay33 Nice call....

    D.... M....

    +Doug Malkan And yet if the Stones had done this it would have been "great". This was great when it came out, Stone Alone!

    IT'S FUCKING GREAT.

    D.... M....

    Strike three, Doug....

    D.... M....

    Maverick C. ....
    Your very old turn of phrase is as stale as a fart in a jam jar, and ...."the biggest opinion" does'nt even make sense Mr Stinky !! Jagger & Jeff Beck sound really good together!
    ( It's a pity that Jagger would'nt pay Beck enough money to tour at that time)

    There is also an outtakes bootleg out there that is called Lonely at the Top. I have it on vinyl and CD, although the CD is part rip-off as it issues at least two songs that were already released on the Sticky Fingers album. The CD promises the outtakes of Hang Fire, Claudine, We Had it All and Let's Go Steady, but it doesn't deliver those. By the way, the band's own version of Lonely at the Top is on YouTube. Their version is an Emotional Rescue outtake. According to Jeffrey Guilliano, if the Lonely at the Top album were an official release and not a bootleg, as far as the vinyl version goes, he felt that it would have made a terrific Stones album.

  12. S.... R....

    this song am lucky in love were the best songs on this solo album. Yeah and the time Mick and Keith had with each other  and the Stones so both had a pissing contest of egos . Both did their own album and both toured separate . Keith formed the New Barbarians  and Mick did his own solo tour but also did a movie based on this album . I had a copy on VHS years ago it had  a stupid plot. I remember reading  Keith said , " yeah  Micks going to be a movie star now  "! , but they kissed and made up and came out with Steel Wheel album .

  13. J.... C....

    I really think MIck came up with some great songs on his own. This is a great example

    J.... C....

    Joseph Caranante keef actually co wrote this one . No Joke
