Between the Buttons, 1967
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
A tight, no-frills burst of British Invasion, stepping slightly away from American roots and giving a brief nod to the melodic stylings of the Beatles. The song seemingly was inspired by the band's frustration with being targeted for their drug use: "But the bags, they get a very close inspection / I wonder why it is that they suspect of 'em / They're dying to add me to their collections /And I don't know if they'll let me go." He's just trying to make his connecting flight, man. Or is it the kind of connection that was meant in 1969's "You Can't Always Get What You Want?" Probably that one.
