Pretty Beat Up

Pretty Beat Up

When I turned on my music today, this was the first song that played … listen to the words in light of Mick Jagger’s girlfriend's suicide. Incredible; what a couple of lines ...

You ought to see inside my heart, I'm marked for life, pretty beat up

Pretty Beat Up

Since you put me down

Pretty beat up, pretty beat up

Yeah since you left me lying around

Pretty beat up, pretty beat up

Since you 86-ed me, pretty beat up

Never restitched me, pretty beat up

My face is a mess, pretty beat up

Yeah yeah you ought to see my face

Pretty beat up, pretty beat up

It's a mess, pretty beat up, pretty beat up

You ought to see inside my heart

I'm marked for life, pretty beat up

Yeah I'm just like a battered baby

Just left on the street, pretty beat up

You ought to see the state, pretty beat up

I've been cut with a razor, pretty beat up

Don't you cut me up, don't you cut me up

I'm pretty beat up, pretty beat up …

 

 

I've done a bit more research ... apparently Pretty Beat Up was not a Jagger/Richards song, but largely a Ronnie Wood one.
