Richards & Steve Jordan
You made the wrong motion
Drank the wrong potion
You lost the feeling
That's so appealing
Why do you think you got no friends?
You drove them around the bend
Ah yeah
You don't move me anymore
Now you want to throw the dice
You already crapped out twice
Ah yeah
You just don't move me anymore
One face so seamy
The other don't see me
It's better that you kill the light
You're giving us all a fright
How you going to keep your wealth?
Can't even defend yourself
Ah yeah
Ah no
You just don't move me anymore
What makes you so greedy?
Makes you so seedy?
No matter how you flip that dime
On our side is time
Ah yeah
It's no longer funny
It's bigger than money
You just don't move me anymore
TrackTalk
I had the title and the first line, You made the wrong motion, drank the wrong potion, btu apart from that, I couldn't come up with any ideas. I said to Steve (Jordan), I don't know what to write this fucking thing about. I'm stuck. And he said, When in doubt, write about Mick. So in a way, it's not totally about Mick. Just about friends who disappoint you sometimes. That's the truth of the matter on that one. It's kind of like All About You. Man, I must really enjoy singing put downs!
To me it was mixture of various feelings about
various times and various people. It's not so pointed in actual fact.
It depends on how (Mick) takes certain things.
If he takes the song as a put down and that's all, that would be a mistake.
It's just an expression of what I think went down. A little diary of events.
Hey, you know, he shouldn't take it so hard!
There's so many (guitar) overdubs. The slides
are definitely Waddy, but I also play licks that sound like slide.
