Connection

About Connection

"Connection" is a song by British rock and roll band The Rolling Stones, featured on their 1967 album Between the Buttons. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (but mostly Richards), features vocals by both of them and is said to be about the long hours the band spent in airports. The lyrics contain much rhyming based on the word connection. The lyrics also reflect very heavily the pressures the band was under by 1967: My bags they get a very close inspection, I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em, They're dying to add me to their collection, And I don't know, If they'll let me go The song was written before Jagger, Richards and fellow Rolling Stone Brian Jones were arrested by the police for drugs. Although it was never released as a single, it is a popular live song. The song itself is built on a very simple chord progression featuring a repetitive drum pattern, Chuck Berry-like lead guitar from Richards, the piano of Jack Nitzsche, tambourine and organ pedals by multi-instrumentalist Jones, and bass by Wyman. Jagger, Jones, and Wyman later overdubbed handclaps. Jagger said in 1967, "That's me beating my hands on the bass drum." more »

I want to do is to get back to you. 

[Chorus]
Connection, I just can't make no connection. 
But all I want to do is to get back to you. 

Everything is going in the wrong direction. 
The doctor wants to give me more injections. 
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections 
And I don't know if he'll let me go 

[Chorus: x2]

And I don't know if he'll let me go 
Connection, I just can't make no connection. 
But all I want to do is to get back to you.

My bags they get a very close inspection. 
I wonder why it is that they suspect me 
They're dying to add me to their collections 
And I don't know if they'll let me go 

Connection, connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you. 
Connection, I just can't make connection. 
But all I want to do is to get back to you

Do is to get back to you.
Connection, I just can't make no connection. 
But all I want to do is to get back to you.
