Title: Bob Dylan-I Want You View count: 9876 Rating: 4.95 (20 ratings) Description: "I Want You" is a 1966 song recorded by Bob Dylan which appeared on the album Blonde on Blonde. It was also released as a single with live version of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues in June and reached number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100, and appeared on the album Dylan and the Dead, a collaboration with the Grateful Dead. It has been argued that the song is about Anita Pallenberg, at the time the girlfriend of Brian Jones, because of the line "Now your dancing child with his chinese suit/ He spoke to me, I took his flute./ No, I wasn't very cute to him". Brian Jones was known to Dylan and they hung out when Dylan was in London. The relationship was amicable but also tense, ending up in a car chase and car crash (without any casualties) in the middle of the night. Jones used to wear a chinese shirt at the time. Another line states that "time was on his side", perhaps referencing a Rolling Stones song from 1964, called 'Time is On My Side'. The guilty undertaker sighs The lonesome organ grinder cries The silver saxophones say I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn But it's not that way I wasn't born to lose you I want you, I want you I want you so bad Honey, I want you. The drunken politician leaps Upon the street where mothers weep And the saviors who are fast asleep They wait for you And I wait for them to interrupt Me drinkin' from my broken cup And ask for me Open up the gate for you I want you, I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you. Now all my fathers they've gone down True love they've been without it But all their daughters put me down 'Cause I don't think about it. Well, I return to the Queen of Spades And talk with my chambermaid She knows that I'm not afraid To look at her She is good to me And there's nothing she doesn't see She knows where I'd like to be But it doesn't matter I want you, I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you. Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit He spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't very cute to him - Was I ? But I did though because he lied Because he took you for a ride And because time was on his side And because I .. I want you, I want you Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you.
