Angie
Jagger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried
The song "Angie" by The Rolling Stones is a melancholic ballad that tells the story of a love affair that has fallen apart. The singer, singing the song, addresses Angie, the woman he loved and lost. The lyrics are filled with nostalgia for the past, regret for missed opportunities and pain for a love that no longer exists. The verses are filled with images of clouds and dreams alluding to the emotions of the characters. The chorus, where the singer asks Angie where they will go from here, highlights the uncertainty and confusion of the situation they find themselves in.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the sweetness of Angie's kisses but urges her to let go of the sadness in her eyes and accept that it is time to say goodbye. Despite everything, he still loves her and sees her eyes everywhere he goes. The final lines of the song are an affirmation of the possibility of happiness yet to come, despite the pain of the past.
"Angie" was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and included in the 1973 album "Goats Head Soup". The song quickly became a hit, reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard charts and No. 5 on the UK charts. It has since become one of the most popular songs in The Rolling Stones’ repertoire.

Where will it lead us from here?
With no lovin' in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied

But ain't it time we said goodbye?

All the dreams were held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear

Imagine living in a time where you looked forward to new music from supremely talented musicians- and it delivered or even exceeded your expectations, giving you a musical experience unlike anything you've heard before.

Well said. Aye this was a Masterpiece. I was born in 1960. My older sisters were Stones fans. I remember them playing the records from aged 5. I still love the Stones.
