I thought the Chorus was "It's just that evil eye forgot you/me in its sway" and that it was a lament for surviving trauma while others didn't "friends up on the burial ground". Who cares? Richard's rhythm is like a tank bursting through a wall thought secure. Taylor dance's around and over it, quite well, but he's the sideman as he is on most of the tracks on Sticky Fingers. Still a very good sideman. It was a shame they couldn't overcome whatever drove them apart.
Actually, Keef didn't play guitar on this one (he was late to the studio that day), though he does his usual chorus vocal duties. It's none other than Jagger who plays the rhythm guitar, along with the usual Wyman/Watts rhythm section, Nicky Hopkins on piano, and strings arranged by Paul Buckmaster, and of course that transcendent lead/solo guitar work by Taylor.
