Coming Down Again

About Coming Down Again

"Coming Down Again" is a song by the Rolling Stones featured on their 1973 album Goats Head Soup. Keith Richards performs lead vocals. Credited to Jagger/Richards, "Coming Down Again" is largely the work of Richards, who went as far as to say "'Coming Down Again' is my song" at the time of its release. A slower ballad similar in mood to another track on the album, "Angie", the lyrics tell of Richards' relationship with then-girlfriend Anita Pallenberg, who had chosen to abandon her romantic liaison with his friend and bandmate Brian Jones in favour of one with Richards. The song opens with Stones recording veteran Nicky Hopkins playing keyboards alongside a fluid, prominent bassline performed by Mick Taylor. Guitars are performed by Richards, who uses the wah-wah pedal for much of the song (an effect used often on Goats Head Soup), as well as Leslie speakers. Charlie Watts performs a "trademark start-stop drum arrangement ... that by now had become a familiar device." Bobby Keys performs a saxophone solo near the middle of the song. Jagger performs backing vocals. more »

Coming down again, coming down again 
Coming down again, coming down again 

Share your thoughts, there's nothing you can hide 
She was dying to survive 
I was caught, oh, taken for a ride 
She was showing no surprise 

Coming down again, coming down again 
Where are all my friends, coming down again 

Coming down again, coming down again 
On the ground again, coming down again 

Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie 
Tasting better ev'ry time 
She turned green and tried to make me cry 
Being hungry it ain't no crime 

Coming down again, coming down again 
All my time's been spent, coming down again
