Demons in the bedroom
Dogs are on the roof
I am in the basement
Looking for the truth

Tired of being patient
For the voice to come
If you want the answer
There is only one, only one

Her flesh is smooth and supple
And velvet as the night
Her eyes are shot with diamonds
A mouth full of delight

There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway

Demons in the bedroom
Dogs are on the loose
Driving in the backstreets
Looking for the truth

I'm searching for your temple
Hunting for your shrine
I'm looking for a vision
By a neon sign

There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much, how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway

And her tears flow like a fountain
Like a river from the mountain

How much
How much can I take
How much, how much can I take

There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way
There's a goddess in the doorway

How much
How much can I take?
Asking how much, how much, how much

That Karl guy from World Party sounds a lot like Mick Jagger sometimes! ;-)

Don't really understand how this can continue to get airplay with a 3.6 average rating.  I've hardly ever seen anything below 5.0 still on the air.

Haven't heard the album but I like this song. Did anyone see that documentary on the Biography Channel on him? Sort of a day in the life?

A very different sound for Mick. I like it.

I just noticed the album cover. Is the "A" for armpit? Is he saying this album is worth stuffing under your arm? Is he saying that his axilla is actually the doorway for the goddess? Or was he indicating the worth of this album as a warning to prospective buyers?

I recall reading Keef referred to this album as "Dog Shit in the Doorway". I gave it a 2, although I wouldn't call it dogshit. Bit of fancy production (and not even much of that) over a very average song.

That reminds me of a review of RHCP's Californication that I read. The reviewer, tongue firmly in cheek, wrote "He sounds like Anthony Keidis, if Keidis could sing." Edit: ontopic: but really, Jagger was probably just given the benefit of the pitch corrector. (for that matter, Keidis may have enjoyed the same benefit for his album).

I recall watching some sort of special on Mick Jagger about the release of this album and an interview with Wyc. Jean. He said as he watched Jagger crooning in the booth, and was having recollections like, wow what Mick just did reminds me of how Bono works, and Sting, and he went on to name a few equally famous front men, how they move, how they sing, etc. Then he said he suddenly realized he wasn't watching Mick imitate, he was watching Mick simply being Mick!!! All others had taken pieces from Mick. This alone speaks volumes about the depth of influence the Iconic Mick Jagger has had on generations.

"God Gave Me Everything" from this CD is a good tune.

I'd give it a 6.893

I don't see why this is getting such a bad reaction here. A bit overproduced perhaps, but I like it just the same.

Never heard this before. Not bad, not great. Reserving score until I hear it a few times. Not typical Mick song.I will either grow to despise this song or like it somewhat. Oh yeah, the Love Boat theme in the background..funny!

Me too, but I'm generally a really forgiving sort of guy.

How is it that it says "Last Played: Never" but has comments that are not from right now? Also, question to the crowd: Would it really be so bad if it was not Mick Jagger? How much of the negative reaction is because he fails to deliver refried Stones, thus spoiling people's expectations?
Presumably the last played counter has been reset last time Bill replaced his server, whenever that was between 2003 and 2008.

jagger didn't do it on his own, he had kravitz and wyc. jean doing it all for him, with mick whining out of tune on one track. I agree with Keith's Dogshit in the Doorway comment.

Jagger doing the disco on The Loveboat?

How much can I take indeed? Not much more.

i wonder if it has to do with a generation gap or something? i liked the stuff he came out with when he was young, but but as he's gotten older, i just don't relate.

I normally don't rate bad songs nor do I comment on them(not worth my time).This one however i will make an exception.This sucks big time.

This sounds like a Marianne Faithful tune. I think I would have preferred her singing

Like Keith put it in one of his songs; 'you don't move me anymore' (so, they only came back together for old times sake- and business?) Well Mick certainly has moved me more than he does.
The kind of 'movement' this song brings on isn't for polite conversation.

Ugh. Written and recorded on auto-pilot.

But, all my life he and the other Stones have been around and i\'m glad, most of them, still are. They\'ve just become an important part of my life, I quess.

Hearing this song so often makes me think I am listening to my local radio stations - \'repetitive unimaginative rock\'
