A NEW SONG BY MICK JAGGER WITH DAVE GROHL
Wanted to share this song that I wrote about eventually coming out of lockdown, with some much needed optimism - thank you to Dave Grohl from Foofighters for jumping on drums, bass and guitar, it was a lot of fun working with you on this - hope you all enjoy Eazy Sleazy !
We took it on the chin
The numbers were so grim
Bossed around by pricks
Stiffen upper lips
Pacing in the yard
Youre trying to take the mick
You must think im really thick
Looking at the graphs with a magnifying glass
Cancel all the tours footballs fake applause
No more travel brochures
Virtual premieres
Ive got nothing left to wear
Looking out from these prison walls
You got to rob peter if you’re paying paul
But its easy easy everythings gonna get really freaky
Alright on the night
Soon it ll be be a memory youre trying to remember to forget
Thats a pretty mask
But never take a chance tik tok stupid dance
Took a samba class I landed on my ass
Trying to write a tune you better hook me up to zoom
See my poncey books teach myself to cook
Way too much tv its lobotomising me
Think ive put on weight
Ill have another drink then ill clean the kitchen sink
We escaped from the prison walls
Open the windows and open the doors
But its easy easy
Everything s gonna get really freaky
Alright on the night
Its gonna be a garden of earthly delights
Easy sleazy its gonna be smooth and greasy
Yeah easy believe me
Itll only be a memory youre trying to remember
To forget
Shooting the vaccine bill gates is in my bloodstream
Its mind control
The earth is flat and cold its never warming up
The arctics turned to slush
The second comings late
Theres aliens in the deep state
We’ll escape from these prison walls
Now were out of these prison walls
You gotta pay peter if you’re robbing paul
But its easy easy everything s gonna be really freaky
Alright on the night
Were all headed back to paradise
Yeah easy believe me
Itll be a memory you’re trying to remember to forget
Easy cheesy everyone sing please please me
Itll be a memory you’re tring to remember to forget
We took it on the chin
The numbers were so grim
Bossed around by pricks
Stiffen upper lips
Pacing in the yard
Youre trying to take the mick
You must think im really thick
Looking at the graphs with a magnifying glass
Cancel all the tours footballs fake applause
No more travel brochures
Virtual premieres
Ive got nothing left to wear
Looking out from these prison walls
You got to rob peter if you’re paying paul
But its easy easy everythings gonna get really freaky
Alright on the night
Soon it ll be be a memory youre trying to remember to forget
Thats a pretty mask
But never take a chance tik tok stupid dance
Took a samba class I landed on my ass
Trying to write a tune you better hook me up to zoom
See my poncey books teach myself to cook
Way too much tv its lobotomising me
Think ive put on weight
Ill have another drink then ill clean the kitchen sink
We escaped from the prison walls
Open the windows and open the doors
But its easy easy
Everything s gonna get really freaky

Easy sleazy its gonna be smooth and greasy

Easy cheesy everyone sing please please me
Itll be a memory you’re tring to remember to forget
