The Rolling Stones revised their song 'Factory Girl' as 'Glastonbury Girl' at their headlining Glastonbury performance on Saturday night.
'Glastonbury Girl' was a surprise in the Stones set with news of the revised lyrics kept a closely guarded secret before the band took at the stage at the UK rock festival last night.
'Glastonbury Girl' remained "an uptempo-country rocker", according to the BBC, like the original. The refrain goes "waiting for my Glastonbury Girl".
The Rolling Stones performed 'Glastonbury Girl' five songs into the set. Jagger told the crowd that he wrote the song the night before about a girl he met at the festival. "Met a girl last night and wrote this song about her called GLASTONBURY GIRL. Gave her all my wet wipes washed off all her dirt Lit her up a cigarette I gave her my clean shirt Offered her my luxury yurt," Mick said via a Stones tweet.
Another surprise at the show was the 'Satanic Majesties' track '2000 Light Years From Home'. The Stones had not performed the song in concert since 1990.
Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis says he has been trying to get The Stones to appear at the festival since the first festival in 1970. Some 43 years later he succeeded. "It's great to be doing this festival, you all look amazing. After all these years they finally got around to asking us. Thank you Michael!," Jagger told the crowd.
