It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

It might, but the melody is completely wrong for them.
I actually considered one of theirs first, but thought nobody would
recognize even their biggest hits.

Ok, different song, same artist.
(I'll name the previous song when the next one is named.)
"A man walks down the street.
It's a street in a strange world.
Maybe it's the Third World.
Maybe it's his first time around.
He doesn't speak the language.
He holds no currency.
He is a foreign man.
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound-
Cattle in the marketplace,
Scatterlings and orphanages.
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity.
He says 'Amen!' and 'Hallelujah!'"

Your Sixteen ~BEATLES~ (Ringo)
In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street
When you know she's no high climber then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer, and you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one, and she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'; you'll be on your knees tomorrow
