This day in music history.

September 19, 1981, The Rolling Stones album 'Tattoo You' goes to number one. It would stay there for nine weeks. The album had several hits including one of the Stones biggest hits ever "Start Me UP". This is one of my all time favorite albums, I especially like the second side which is all mellow songs including one of my favorite Stone's songs "Waiting On A Friend".
Waiting On A Friend by The Rolling Stones
Watching girls go passing by
It aint the latest thing
Im just standing in a doorway
Im just trying to make some sense
all of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
Im not waiting on a lady
Im just waiting on a friend
A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
Im not waiting on a lady
Im just waiting on a friend
Im just waiting on a friend
Dont need a whore
I dont need no booze
Dont need a virgin grace
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for you
But Im not waiting on a lady
Im just waiting on a friend
