The Rolling Stones

Songwriter: Keith Richards Mick Jagger

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window, imagining the world has stopped

Then in flies a guy who's all dressed-up just like a Union Jack
And says I’ve won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

I said, "Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Don't hang around
'Cause two’s a crowd
On my cloud, baby!"

The telephone is ringing
I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello. How are you?"
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine

He says, "It's three AM. There's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good
Do you have to drive me out of my head?"

I said, "Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Don’t hang around
’Cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby"

I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around

I laid myself out, I was so tired
And I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like a flag
Stuck on my window screen

I said, "Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Don’t hang around
'Cause two's a crowd
On my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Don't hang around
Baby, two’s a crowd
On my cloud"

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
