Guns 'n roses

14 YEARS

I try and feel the sunshine
You bring the rain
You try and hold me down
With your complaints
You cry and moan and complain
You whine and tear
Up to my neck in sorrow
The touch you bring
You don't just step inside to 14 years
So hard to keep my ouwn head... thats what I say
You know... I've been the beggar...
I've played the theif
I was the dog... they all tried to beat

But its been
14 years of silence
Its been
14 years of pain
Its been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

Your stupid girlfriends tell you
That I'm to blame
Well they're all used-up has-beens
out of the game
This time I'll have the last word
You hear what I say
I tried to see it your way
It won't work today
You just don't step inside to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head... thats what I say
You know.. I've been the dealer
Hangin on your street
I was the dog... they all tried to beat

But its been
14 years of silence
Its been
14 years of pain
Its been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

Bullshit and contemplation
Gossips their trade
If they knew half the real truth
What would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern
Its time to play
These last 4 years of madness
Sure put me straight
Don't get back 14 years
In just one day
So hard to keep my own head
Just go away
You know... just like a hooker she said
Nothins for free
Oh I tried to see it your way
I tried to see it your way

Yesterdays

Yesterday... there was so many things I was never told,
Now that I'm starting to learn, I feel I'm growing old,

'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me,
Old pictures that I'll always see,
Time just fades the pages in my book of memories,

Prayers in my pocket, and no hand in destiny,
I'll keep on moving along with no time to plant my feet,

'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me,
Old pictures that I'll always see,
Some things could be better if we'd all just let them be,

Oooh yesterday has got nothing for me,
Yesterday... oooh has got nothing for me,
Got nothing for me,

(Guitar Solo)

Yesterday... there was so many things I was never shown,
Suddenly this time I found, I'm on the streets and I'm all alone,

Yesterday's got nothing for me,
Old pictures that I'll always see,
I ain't got time, to reminisce old novelties,

Oooh yesterday has got nothing for me,
Yesterday... oooh has got nothing for me,
Yesterday has got nothing for me,
Yesterday,

Yesterday...,

Shotgun Blues

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues,
I said I don't know what I did but I know I gotta move,
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues,
I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose,

And now you're blowing smoke,
I think you're one big joke,
Me, I gotta lot to learn,
And I'm still waiting for the heads to turn,
You say I walk a line,
Fuck they move it every time,
You walk a mile in my shoes,
And then you tell me about singing the blues,

Ow, you get what you pay for,
And freedom's real high priced,
And while your ripping off children,
Somebody's fucking your wife,
Oo, it's never made a difference,
It's only how you survive,

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues,
I said I don't know what I did but I know I gotta move,
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues,
I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose,

And now you ask me why,
I said it's do or die,
I'll stick it right in your face,
And then I'll put you in your motherfucking place,
And you, you can suck my ass,
And I think it's so low-class,
Me, I'm just so concerned,
I'm still waiting for your ass to burn,

Oh, you want a confrontation, I'll give you every fuckin' chance,
With your verbal masturbation, me, I just like to dance,
How's that for provocation?, I'm just making a stance,
And I'm tired of the frustration,
Of living inside of your lies,
And I'm wired on indignation,
I said somebody's got to die,

(Guitar Solo)

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues,
I said I don't know what I did but I know I gotta move,
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues,
I can't stay here forever, I got too much here to lose,

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues,
Listen mother fucker, you're about to pay your dues,
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues,
If you're going up against me then you know you're gonna lose,

I know, (I know...)
I know, (... there's ways...)
I know, (... that we...)
I know, (... can find)

You think anyone with an I.Q. over fifteen,
Would believe your shit?... fuckhead,
Nothing but a fucking pussy,

Breakdown

We all come in from the cold, we come down from the wire
And everybody warms themselves to a different fire
When sometimes we get burned, You'd think sometime we'd learn
The one you love is the one That should take you higher
You ain't got no one You better go back out and find her

Just like children hiding in a closet, Can't tell what's going on outside,
Sometimes we're so far off the beaten track, we'll get taken for a ride,
By a parlor trick or some words of wit, a hidden hand up a sleeve,
To think the one you love could hurt you now is a little hard to believe,
But everybody, darling, sometimes bites the hand that feeds,

Ow,

When I look around, everybody always brings me down,
Well is it them or me, well I just can't see but there ain't no peace to be found,
But if someone really cared, well they'd take the time to spare,
A moment to try and understand another one's despair,
Remember in this game we call life that no one said it's fair,

BREAKDOWN - Let me hear it now,
BREAKDOWN - let me hear it now, yeah,
BREAKDOWN - Let me hear it now,
BREAKDOWN - let me hear it now
Get down with your bad self,
Alright,

(Guitar Solo)

I've come to know the cold, I think of it as home,
When there ain't enough of me to go around I'd rather be left alone,
But if I call you out of habit, I'm outta love and I gotta have it,
Would you give it to me if I fit your needs like when we both knew we had it,
But now the damage's done and we're back out on the run,
Fun how everything was roses when we held onto the guns,
But just because you're winning don't mean you're the lucky ones,

BREAKDOWN - Let me hear it now,
BREAKDOWN - Yeah,
BREAKDOWN,
BREAKDOWN - let me hear it now,

(Guitar Solo)

"There goes the challenger
being chased by the blue blue meanies on wheels.
The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver.
The last American hero.
The, the electric sintar.
The demi God,
The super driver of the golden west,
Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver,
The police cars are getting closer, closer...,
Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile, yeah baby,
They about to strike, they gonna get him,
Smash, rape,
The last beautiful free soul on this planet."

"But... it is writen if the Evil Spirit arms the Tiger with claws,
Brahman provided wings for the Dove,
Thus spake the Super Guru."

"Did you hear that?"

Pretty Tied Up

"The pearls of rock 'n' roll decadance."

I know this chick she lives down on Melrose,
She ain't satisfied without some pain,
Friday night is going up inside her... again,
Well crack the whip 'cause that bitch is just insane,
(I'm serious)

She's pretty tied up hanging upside down,
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her,
She's pretty tied up hanging upside down,
I can't tell you she's the right one,
Oh no, oh no, oh no,

Once there was this rock 'n' roll band rolling on the streets,
Time went by and it became a joke,
We just needed more and more fulfilling, uh huh,
Time went by and it all went up in smoke,
(But check it out)

She's pretty tied up hanging upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up hanging upside down
Oh I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no,

(Guitar Solo)

Once you made that money it costs more now,
It might cost a lot more than you'd think,
I just found a million dollars that someone... forgot,
It's days like this that push me over the brinks,
Cool and stressing,
(Pronounced: Kool ranch dressing)

She's pretty tied up hanging upside down,
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her,
She's pretty tied up hanging upside down,
And I can't tell you she's the right one,
Oh she's the right one...,
Oh she's the right one...,

Locomotive

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness,
Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain,
If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end,
How long before I had your trust again,

I opened up the doors when it was cold outside,
Hoping that you'd find your own way in,
But how can I protect you or try not to neglect you,
When you won't take the love I have to give,

I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall,
I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all,
But oh, the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is,
Well, I guess it never is,
It's these prejudiced illusions,
That pump the blood to the heart of the biz,

You know I never thought that it could take so long,
You know I never knew how to be strong,
Yeah, I let you shape me but I feel as though you raped me,
'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs,

So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside,
Seems somehow I've found the will to live,
But how can I forget you or try not to reject you,
When we both know it takes time to forgive,

Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago,
You know I'd like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me no,
You could sell your body on the street,
To anyone whom you might meet,
Who'd love to try and get inside,
And bust your innocence open wide,

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive,
My baby's gone off the track,
My baby's got a locomotive,
Got to peel the bitch off my back,
I know it looks like I'm insane,
Take a closer look I'm not to blame, no,

(Guitar Solo)

Gonna have some fun with my frustration,
Gonna watch the big screen in my head,
I'd rather take a detour 'cause this road ain't getting clearer,
Your train of thought has cut me off again,
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one,
Better tame that boy for he's a man,
Sweetheart don't make me laugh you's getting too big for your pants,
And I's think maybe you should cut out while you can,

You can use you illusion, let it take you where it may,
We live and learn and then sometimes it's best to walk away,
Me, I'm just here hanging on,
It's my only place to stay at least,
For now anyway,
I've worked too hard for my illusions,
Just to throw them all away,

(Guitar Solo)

I'm taking time for quiet consolation,
In passing by this love that's passed away,
I know it's never easy so why should you believe me,
When I've always got so many things to say,

Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made,
'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged,
You know I tried to wake you I mean how long could it take you,
To open up your eyes and turn the page,,

Kindness is a treasure and it's one towards me you've seldom shown,
So I'll say it for good measure to all the ones like you I've known,
You know I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red,
'Cause love to me's a two way street and all I really want is peace,

But my baby's got a locomotive,
My baby's gone off the track,
My baby's got a locomotive,
Got to peel the bitch off my back,
I know it looks like I'm insane,
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no,

(Guitar Solo)

Affection is a blessing, Can you find it in your sordid heart?,
I tried to keep this thing together but the tremor tore my pad apart,
Yeah, I know it's hard to face,
When all we've worked for's gone to waste,
But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man,
But love like time's got its own plans,

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive,
My baby's gone off the track,
My baby's got a locomotive,
Got to peel the bitch off my back,
I know it looks like I'm insane,
Take a closer look I'm not to blame,

Yeah,
If love is blind I guess,
I'll buy myself a cane,

Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,
Love's so strange,

Civil War




"What we've got here is failure to
communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men."

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land

And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

"WE PRACTICE SELECTIVE ANNIHILATION OF MAYORS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
FOR EXAMPLE TO CREATE A VACUUM
THEN WE FILL THAT VACUUM
AS POPULAR WAR ADVANCES
PEACE IS CLOSER" **

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

KOCKIN' ON HEAVENS DOOR

Mama take this badge from me

Kn-kn-knockin on heavens door

"You just better start sniffin your own

Kn-kn-knockin on heavens door

So Fine




How could she look so fine
How could it be she might be mine
How could she be so cool
I've been taken for a fool
So many times
It's a story of a man
Who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man
who stands on his own
But the book always burns
As the story takes it turn
An leaves a broken man
How could she be so cool
How could she be so fine
I owe a favor to a friend
My friends they always come through for me- Yeah
It's a story of a man
Who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man
who stands on his own
But the book always burns
As the story takes it turn
An leaves a broken man
If you could only live my life
You could see the difference you make to me- To me
I'd look right up at night
And all I'd see was darkness
Now I see the stars alright
I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house
Yeah that made me happy
The sweat I make for you
Yeah...I think you know where that comes from

Well I'd look right up at night
And all I'd see was darkness
Now I see the stars alright
I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house
Yeah that made me happy
The sweat I make for you
I think you know where that comes from

How could she look so good(So good)
How could she be so fine
How could she be so cool
How could it be she might be mine

Estranged




When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
Alone (Whisper)

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
ONE, TWO

Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed
To find me lately
An what more could tou ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself
and nobody's home
Alone (Whisper)

So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time- Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

You Could Be Mine

I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn,
And I'll rip your heart in two,
And I'll leave you lying on the bed,
I'll be out the door before you wake,
It's nothing new to you,
'Cause I think we've seen that movie too,

'Cause you could be mine,
But you're way out of line,
With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue,
You get nothing done,
I said you could be mine,

Now holidays come and then they go,
It's nothing new today,
Collect another memory,
When I come home late at night,
Don't ask me where I've been,
Just count your stars, I'm home again,

'Cause you could be mine,
But you're way out of line,
With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue,
You get nothing done,
I said you could be mine,

You could be mine,
You could be mine,
You could be mine,
You could be mine,
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine,

You've gone sketching too many times,
Oooo why don't you give it a rest?,
Why... must you find,
Another reason to cry?,

(Guitar Solo)

While you're breaking down my back and I been racking out my brain,
It don't matter how we make it 'cause it always ends the same,
You can push it for more mileage but your flaps are wearing thin,
And I could sleep on it till morning but this nightmare never ends,
Don't forget to call my lawyers with ridiculous demands,
And you can take the pity so far but it's more than I can stand,
'Cause this couchtrip's getting older, tell me how long has it been,
'Cause five years is forever and you haven't grown up yet,

'Cause you could be mine,
But you're way out of line,
With your bitch slap rapping and your cocaine tongue,
You get nothing done,
I said you could be... you should be...,
You could be mine,

You could be mine,
You could be mine,
You could be mine,

You could be mine,
You could be mine,
You could be mine,
You could be mine,
You could be mine... yeah,

Don't Cry (Alternative Lyrics)




If we could see tomorrow
What of your plans
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride
They're back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood off your hands

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I know the things you wanted
They're not what you have
With all the people talkin'
It's drivin' you mad
If I was standin' by you
How would you feel
Knowing your love's decided
And all love is real

An don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby

An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

My World

You wanna step into my world,
It's a sociopsychotic state of bliss,
You've been delayed in the real world,
How many times have you hit and missed?,

Your cat-scan shows disfiguration,
I wanna laugh myself to death,
With a misfired synapse with a bent configuration,
I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath,

You wanna talk to me, (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me, (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me, (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me, (You can't talk to me)
You wanna talk to me, (You don't understand your sex)
You wanna talk to me, (You ain't been mindfucked yet)
Let's do it,
Let's do it,
Let's do it, (Oh, my distorted smile)

Guess what I'm doing now,

Welcome To The Jungle

Welcome to the jungle
We got fun 'n' games
We got evrything you want
Honey we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money honey
We got your disease

Chorus:
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl
That's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear yous-cream

Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here evryday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me

Chorus

And when you're high you never
Ever want to come down, YEAH!

You know where you are
You're in the jungle baby
You're gonna die
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my serpentine
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
It's gonna bring you down
Ha!

It's So Easy

I see your sister in her Sunday dress
She's out to please
She pouts her best
She's out to take
No need to try
She's ready to make

It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me

Cars are crashin' every night
I drink n' drive everything's in sight
I make the fire
But I miss the firefight
I hit the bull's eye every night

It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me
So easy
But nothin' seems to please me
It all fits so right
When I fade into the night
See me hit you
You fall down

I see you standin' there
You think you're so cool
Why don't you just
Fuck off

Ya get nothin' for nothin'
If that's what ya do
Turn around bitch I got a use for you
Besides you ain't got nothin' better to do
And I'm bored

It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me
So easy
But nothin' seems to please me
It all fits so right
When I fade into the night
So come with me
Don't ask me where 'cause I don't know
I'll try ta please you
I ain't got no money but it goes to show
It's so easy

Nightrain

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight

Well I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
An honey you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight

Wake up late honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card to the liquor store
That's one for you and two for me by tonight
I'll be
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight

I'm on the nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I'm on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
I can never get enough
I'm on the nightrain
Never to return - no

Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Speedin' like a space brain
One more time tonight

I'm on the nightrain
An I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the nightrain
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm ready to crash an' burn
Nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain

Whoa yeah
I'm on the nightrain
Love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
An I can never get enough
Ridin' the nightrain
I guess, I
I guess, I guess, I guess, I never learn

On the nightrain
Float me home
Ooh I'm on the nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
Never to return
Nightrain

Out Ta Get Me

Been hidin' out
And layin' low
It's nothing new ta me
Well you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity
They break down the doors
And they rape my rights but
They won't touch me
They scream and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside
For so fuckin' long

Chorus:
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm innocent
They won't break me

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And evrytime you think you know just what you're doin'
That's when your troubles exceed
They push me in a corner
Just to get me to fight but
They won't touch me
They preach and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside
I'm already gone

Chorus

Some people got a chip on their shoulder
An some would say it was me
But I didn't buy that fifth of whiskey
That you gave me
So I'd be quick to disagree

Chorus

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm innocent
So you can
Suck me
Take that one to heart

Mr. Brownstone

I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin' no
Cause worryin's a waste of my... time

The show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine

Chorus:
We been dancin' with
Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone

I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said a little better than before
I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said a little better than before

Chorus

Now I get up around whenever
I used ta get up on time
But that old man he's a real muthafucker
Gonna kick him on down the line

Paradise City

Just a' urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Evrybody's doin' their time

Chorus:
Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who ya gonna believe

Chorus

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said -
Turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind - "Are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times

My Michelle

Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin
But now she's underground
So you stay out late at night
And you do your coke for free
Drivin' your friends crazy
With your life's insanity

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle

Sowin' all your wild oats
In another's luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday
Maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early
And this hotel wasn't free
So party till your connection calls
Honey I'll return the key

Chorus:
Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well, you never can tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle

Evryone needs love
You know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone
That'll fall in love with you
But oh the time ti takes
When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone
That you can call your own
But till then ya better...

Now you're clean
And so discreet
I won't say a word
But most of all this song is true
Casse you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your cryin'
'Cause we both know money burns
Honey don't stop tryin'
An you'll get what you deserve

Chorus

Think About You

Say baby you been lookin' real good
I remember when we met
Funny how it never felt so good
It's a feelin' that I know
I know I'll never forget
Ooh it was the best time I can remember
Ooh and the love we shared - is lovin' that'll last forever

There wasn't much in this heart of mine
There was a little left and babe you found it
Funny how it never felt so good
It's a feelin' that I know
I know I'll never forget
Ooh it was the best thing I can remember
Ooh and the love we shared - is lovin' that'll last forever

I think about you
Honey all the time my heart says yes
I think about you
Deep inside I love you best
I think about you
You know you're the one I want
I think about you
Darlin' you're the only one
I think about you

Somethin' changed in this heart of mine
An I'm so glad that ya showed me
Honey now you're my best friend
I wanna stay together to the buryin'
Ooh it was the best time I can remember
Ooh and the love we shared - is lovin' that'll last forever

Sweet Child O' Mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where evrything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

You're Crazy

I been lookin' for a trace
Lookin' for a heart
Lookin' for a lover in a world that's much too dark
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction
You don't need my love
You gotta find yourself another
Piece of the action

Said where you goin'
What you gonna do
I been lookin' evrywhere
I been lookin' for you

You don't want my love
You want satisfaction
You don't need my love
You gotta find yourself another
Piece of the action
'Cause you're crazy
You're fuckin' crazy
Ya know you're crazy
I said you're crazy

Say boy where ya comin' from
Where'd ya get that point of view
When I was younger
Said I knew someone like you
And they said
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction
You don't need my love
You gotta find yourself another
Piece of the action
'Cause you're crazy
You're fuckin' crazy
You know you're crazy
I said you're crazy
Ooh you're crazy
You know you're crazy
Well you're crazy
You know you're crazy

You know you are
Bring it down
You're fuckin' crazy

Anything Goes

I been thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' 'bout sex
Always hungry for somethin'
That I haven't had yet
Maybe baby you got somethin' to lose
Well, I got somethin', I got somethin' for you

My way - your way
Anything goes tonight
My way - your way
Anything goes

Panties 'round your knees
With your ass in debris
Doin' dat grind with a push and squeeze
Tied up, tied down, up against the wall
Be my rubbermade baby
An' we can do it all

My way - your way
Anything goes tonight
