subversive lyrics make young people do crazy things

in 1976, I purchased a Stones "It's Only Rock and Roll" songbook with lyrics and chords for guitar. The funny thing is they played it very safe with their publishing. the lyrics were like, "Too bad. . .she's got you BY THE BOARDS" Completely wrong, yet officially published and distributed. Another example, "Rocks Off": "Plug in, flush out, and find the LUCKY feed". . .HA! he is NOT saying "LUCKY" feed, on the record, in fact you can hear someone in the background go "Whoooo-YEA!!" when he says "find the FUCKIN' feed". . .I'm pretty sure they are talking about the days before wireless guitars in that particular phrase. When I sang "Star, Star" at my High School Sock Hop in '77, my "BANDMATES" convinced me to self censor it to "Star Lucky". Of course I promised I would. . .

Who was the very first lead guitarist
of "The Boards", back in the late 70's?
