JUMPIN' JACK FLASH

I was born in a crossfire hurricane,
and I howled at my ma in the driving rain.
But it's all right, now, in fact it's a gas.
But it's all right, I'm jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas!

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back.
But it's all right, now, in fact it's a gas.
But it's all right, I'm jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead,
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right, now, in fact it's a gas.
But it's all right, I'm jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas!

Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas ....... (rep. and fade)

Disco 1

Ao lado de Satisfaction essa é a outra música que nunca fica de fora dos shows da banda.

Quando essa música foi lançada (em 1971), Keith Richards passava longos tempos com Gram Parsons. Gram havia sido o responsável pela criação do "country-rock" quando gravou com os Byrds o disco Sweetheart of Rodeo e com sua banda Flying Burrito Brothers. Foi ele quem influenciou o clima country de faixas como essas e outras da mesma época lançadas pelos ingleses. Gram morreria vítima de overdose em 1973 mas ainda é forte influência no rock contemporâneo.
