Rolling Stones - Gimme Shleter Lyrics



Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
My very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

The floods is threat'ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

  3. The Stones are awesome but I have to say that Altamont Speedway was the scariest concert I've ever been to lol, The Hells Angels had the run of the whole place!! I think I'll go back to Woodstock 69 anyday! God do I miss those days!
    PEACE!!!

  4. Stones concerts were (are?) always edgy affairs - at one concert in Blackpool (I think) in 1964 some guy invaded the stage and made a run for Jagger ... who proceeded to shove the mic stand into the guy's face, knocking most of his teeth out and leaving his face a bloody pulp. Need it be said that Jagger and the band didn't miss a beat as they kept on rocking!

  15. Emmaretta Marks actually sings and created the intro of Gimmie Shelter it is also Eammaretta who sings and screams those chilling Rape Murders as she had been a rape victim herself.. Here's an interview of her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0jQtPMruBQ it's in 4 part but part 1 covers a lot of it..she went with Keith Richards for a good while but then also "hung out" with Mick and even Brian Jones and Bill Wyman...She also sang for Jimi Hendrix on his Cry of Love album but knew him from before the beginning. It was Emmaretta who selected Purple Haze as the first single release and then Foxy Lady and pushed them and got Jimi Radio play here in America.. The Stones have treated her terribly all these many many years. Here's another fun video of the great Emmaretta Marks..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAdb4lzvxGw
