Another new old song from the upcoming reissue of Goats Head Soup. This one features Jimmy Page and was probably named after his daughter. It has a very cool groove to it.
The Stones’ Keith Richards has his own recollections on how “Scarlet” took shape and how “we walked in at the end of a Zeppelin session. They were just leaving, and we were booked in next and I believe that Jimmy decided to stay.”
“Scarlet” was a freak accident. “We weren’t actually cutting it as a track,” enthuses Richards in a statement, “it was basically for a demo, a demonstration, you know, just to get the feel of it, but it came out well, with a line up like that, you know, we better use it.‘’
Keep digging in those vaults guys.
Scarlet
Baby you excite me
But you talk too much
Won’t stand on a corner
Love you more, oh yeah
Scarlet, why you wearing my heart, on your sleeve
Where it ain’t supposed to be
Scarlet, why you tearing my heart, all to pieces
It ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
Scarlet, why are you keeping my heart, to yourself
It ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
Scarlet, Scarlet
Ooh yeah!
You don’t have to change your mind
And leave this neighbourhood so far behind
Honey you don’t have to cry no more
When I come a knocking, right at your front door
Scarlet, Scarlet, Scarlet
Scarlet, why you wearing my heart, on your sleeve
Where it ain’t supposed to be
Scarlet, Scarlet, oh
Scarlet, Scarlet, Scarlet
Why you wearing my heart
Scarlet, why you wearing my heart
Scarlet, why you wearing my heart
Scarlet, why you wearing my heart
Scarlet
