Now this is a song with memories. From the first time I ever heard it, playing at the end of Interview With the Vampire to the last time I heard it in the car, when my then boyfriend turned it up becuse he knew I liked it. I don't know which version I like better, the classic Rolling Stones or the new Guns & Roses. There's really no way to choose...

Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth, and taste.
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith.
I was around when Jesus Christ,
had his moment of doubt and pain.
Made damn sure that Pilate,
washed his hands and sealed his fate.

Pleased to meet you!
Hope you guess my name!
But what's puzzling you
is just the nature of my game.

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was time for a change.
I killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia, screamed in vain.
I rode a tank, held a generals rank,
When the Blitkrieg raged and the bodies stank!

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guess my name.
But what's puzzling you
is the nature of my game.

I watched with glee
as your kings and queens
fought for ten decades
for the gods they made!
I shouted out "who killed the Kennedies?"
When after all it was you and me!

So let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I lay traps for troubadours
who get killed before they reach Bombay!

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling is the nature of my game!

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling is the nature of my game!

It's just that every cops a criminal
and all the sinners saints.
And to enhance this tale, just call me Lucifer,
Cause I'm in need of some restraint.
So if you meet me, have some courtesy. Have some sympathy and some taste.
Use all your well earned politics,
or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling is the nature of my game!
