Album Cover Whole Wide World

Whole Wide World

The Rolling Stones

7

The streets I used to walk on

Are full of broken glass

And everywhere I′m lookingThere's memories of my past

The filthy flat in Fulham

The smell of sex and gas

I never ever really knew

Where I was sleeping next

When the whole wide world′s against you

And you're standing in the rain

When all your friends have let you down

And treat you with disdain

When the whole wide world's against you

And that′s got you on the run

And you think the party is over

But it′s only just, only just begun

Oh, yeah

Behind the bars of prison

You're never getting out

They wanna break your balls in those slimy walls

And the guards are lardy louts

The cameras that are watching you

Hey, see a sullen face

Get me out the door can′t keep me in no more

I'm breaking down the gates

When the whole wide world′s against you

And you're standing in the rain

And you want someone beside you

To pull you up again

When the whole wide world′s against you

And life's got you on the run

And you think the party is over

But it's only just, only just begun

When the dreary streets of London

They never promised much

A dead-end job to nowhere

And all your dreams are crushed

When the whole wide world′s against you

And you′re standing in the rain

When all your friends have let you down

And treat you with disdain

And you think the party's over

But it′s only just begun

Let's raise a glass get up and dance

′Cause life's just hit and hit and

Hit and run

Hit and run

Yeah

The party′s over

World's against you
