The Rolling Stones – Dead Flowers (Live, 1971)

Dead Flowers fue escrita por Mick Jagger y Keith Richards, cuando la amistad de Richards con Gram Parsons estaba influyendo en su composición. La pista se incluyó en el álbum de The Rolling Stones de 1971 Sticky Fingers.

Desde entonces, la han estado tocando en sus directos durante décadas. Hace unos días, el 17 de junio de 2015, como parte de su Zip Code Tour, la banda lo incluyó en su repertorio. Brad Paisley abrió este concierto para The Rolling Stone en Nashville, Tennessee.

Para la portada, Andy Warhol presentó al actor Joe Dallesandro como modelo de la fotografía.

The Rolling Stones – Dead Flowers – Letra

Well when you’re sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talkin’ to some rich folk that you know
Well I hope you won’t see me in my ragged company
Well, you know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
Well when you’re sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

Ah, I’ll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail
Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
