From the The Rolling Stones – All the Songs book:
The Rolling Stones raise the curtain on a sadomasochistic stage. Feel the
prickles running up and down your back
: here we are dealing with the pain
of love
… And the picture is all the more sexy for being dark and morally
taboo. The old maid is rouging up, applying final touches. Even though
she’s late for the dance, I tell you tonight she’s really gonna have a ball,
she’s gonna really tie me up
: “Tie You Up (The Pain of Love)” or Mick
Jagger ready for the supreme sacrifice… Is it possible to see the shadow of
Marianne Faithfull, the great-great-niece of the writer Leopold von SacherMasoch,
who gave his name to masochism, hanging over this song?
As far as its musical ambiance is concerned, the song bears a
resemblance to Lowell Fulson’s West Coast blues, as Jagger would later
corroborate in an interview. To date, “Tie You Up (The Pain of Love)” has
never been performed live.
