Visions of Paradise

I still love this Mick Jagger song. Here is a link to the video and the lyrics.

"Visions Of Paradise"

"Don't tell me when
Something is beautiful
And don't tell me how to
Talk to my friends
Just tell me the names of
The stars in the sky
What's your favourite song
Tell me the names of the
Lovers you had
Before I came along

Don't put your arms around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise

And don't ask me where
All of the pain goes
'Cause you make me feel
That I don't know myself
You say that you want me forever
And I say that love is no crime
So tell me the names of the children
We'll have at the end of the line

So don't put your arms around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise
And don't let me near the garden
Of earthly delights
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise
Of paradise
Of paradise

Just use your heart not your head
While I fall apart in my bed
I find myself aching for you
I feel myself breaking in two

So don't tell me when I should
Come on home
There might be a time you don't
Want me around
Don't build your world around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise"

Watching the video again, it reminds of the movie Jagger was in just around this time 2002 -- "The Man From Elysian Fields," which I enjoyed. Let me know if you ever see it, I'd be interested in your thoughts.

I haven't seen the movie, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

I didn't think it had been as many months away from here as it has clearly been. I was certain I had updated this place in December and ...
