Highway Star (Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)

Nobody gonna take my car
I’m gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It’s gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it’s a killing machine
It’s got everything
Like a driving power, big fat tyres and everything

I love it, and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah, it’s a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight, I’m a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I’m gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Oooh she’s a killing machine
She’s got everything
Like a moving mouth, body control and everything

Fireball (Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)

The golden light above you shows me where you’re from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill, they bebop all around you
They wonder where you’re from, oh yeah
They wonder where I found you

Oh my love it’s a long way
Where you’re from it’s a long way

Tried to understand you, tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight
Your lips are like a fire, burning through my soul
And people ask me where you’re from
They really wanna know

Oh my soul it’s a long way
Where you’re from it’s a long way

Speed King (Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)

Good golly said little Miss Molly
When she was rocking in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rocking to the east and west
Lucille, oh so real
When she didn’t do her daddy’s will
Come on baby, drive me crazy, do it, do it

     I’m a speed king, you gotta hear me sing
     I’m a speed king, see me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about ain’t gonna save
Some people gonna rock, some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman, soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

We’re Gonna Groove (King/Bethea)

Hear my baby comin’ down the track
Betcha my baby’s comin’ back
Someday she’ll get back to me
We’re gonna raise a family

We’re gonna groove, Yeah groove
Yeah we’re gonna groove

We’re gonna love… until the break of day

Sweet as sweet as sweet can be
You don’t know whatcha do to me
Let me say you’re my one desire
You just set my soul on fire

In the Evening (Jones/Page/Plant)

In the evening, When the day is done
I’m looking for a woman, but the girl don’t come
So don’t let her, Play you for a fool
She don’t show no pity baby, she don’t make no rules

*Chorus:
Oh, oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I just got to have

So don’t you let her,
Oh, get under your skin
It’s only bad luck and trouble,
From the day that you begin
I hear you crying in the darkness,
Don’t ask nobody’s help
Ain’t no pockets full of mercy baby,
Cause you can only blame yourself

Achilles Last Stand (Page/Plant)

It was an April morning when they told us we should go
As I turn to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?

With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again

Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss,
The devil’s in his hole

Setelah merilis lebih dari 40 album yang berisikan ratusan lagu, tentu agak sulit menentukan sepuluh lagu terbaik yang pernah diciptakan oleh duet penulis Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger dan Keith Richards. Namun, upaya memilih itu pernah dilakukan tahun lalu oleh Mojo dalam rangka menyambut ulang tahun Stones yang ke-40.

Di urutan pertama adalah Jumpin’ Jack Flash, nomor yang mengakhiri era psikedelik Stones. "Ayah kandung" lagu ini adalah pemetik bas Bill Wyman yang menemukan riff Flash ketika sedang bermain piano di studio, yang langsung diiringi oleh permainan gitar Brian Jones dan penggebuk drum Charlie Watts. Ketika tiba di studio, Jagger dan Richards langsung menyukai riff tersebut.
