The Rolling Stones - “Claudine“ (Some Girls Deluxe Edition [Bonus CD] - track 01)
The Rolling Stones Some Girls Deluxe Edition - Bonus CD (released date: 2011)
Track 01 - “Claudine“ (M. Jagger - K. Richards)
Recorded by “The Rolling Stones“ at “Pathé Marconi Studios“ in Billancourt, France (November, 1977).
Written about singer-actress Claudine Longet. In March 1976, she killed her live-in boyfriend, Olympian ski racer Vladimir “Spider“ Sabich in their Aspen Colorado home. She only spent 30 days in jail. The trial preceded O.J. Simpson’s by nearly two decades. But like Simpson, Longet hired high-powered defense teams and got off easy, in the minds of many. Song recorded in November of 1977, but never released because of the fear of litigation. Finally released years later, on November 15, 2011, on this ressued Some Girls Bonus CD Deluxe Edition.

Lyrics:
“Now Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again, Claudine,
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
She only does it at weekends
Claudine;
Now only Spider knows for sure
But he ain’t talkin’ about it any more
Is he, Claudine?
There was blood in the chalet
And blood in the snow
She washed her hands of the whole damn show, Claudine;
Shot him once right through the head
Shot him twice right through the chest
The judge says ruled it was an accident, Claudine
Accidents will happen;
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine,
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine, Yeah!
Poor Claudine
Poor Claudine;
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again, Claudine,
Poor Claudine
Poor Claudine
Poor poor Claudine;
Now I threaten my wife with a gun
I always leave the safety on
I recommend it, Claudine;
Yes she pistol whipped me once or twice
But she never tried to take my life
What do you think about that, Claudine;
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
She only does it at weekends, Claudine,
Oh, poor Claudine
What about the children, baby?
Poor, poor children;
You’re the prettiest girl I ever seen
I saw you on the movie screen
Hope you don’t try to make a sacrifice of me, Claudine
Don’t get trigger happy with me, Claudine
Don’t wave a gun at me, Claudine;
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again
Claudine’s back in jail again, Claudine
Oh, Claudine“.
