The Rolling Stones
Dead Flowers (Live At University of Leeds / 1971)
[Intro]
We'd like to do a new song for you now called "Dead Flowers"
[Verse 1]
When you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chairs
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well, I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down, little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
[Chorus]
You can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
[Verse 2]
Yeah, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pains away
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down, little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
[Chorus]
You can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down, little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
[Chorus]
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
Thank you
Woo hoo
Thank you very much
