November rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

KNOCKIN' ON HEAVENS DOOR

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it any more
Its gettin dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin on heavens door

Kn-kn-knockin on heavens door
Kn-knockin on heavens door
Kn-knockin on heavens door
Kn-knockin on heavens door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them any more
That cold black cloud is comin down
Feels like I'm knockin on heavens door

Kn-kn-knockin on heavens door
Kn-knockin on heavens door
Kn-knockin on heavens door
Kn-knockin on heavens door

"You just better start sniffin your own
Rank subjugation Jack cause its just you
Against your tattered labido, the bank, and
The mortician, forever man and it wouldn't
Be luck if you could get out of life alive

Kn-kn-knockin on heavens door

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,

You Could Be Mine
Artist/Band - Guns N' Roses
Album - Use Your Illusion II
Song - 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
Guns And Roses - 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

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

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

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

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 AN 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 OWN HEAD...THAT'S 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 IT'S BEEN
14 YEARS OF SILENCE
IT'S BEEN
14 YEARS OF PAIN
IT'S 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 DON'T JUST STEP INSIDE TO 14 YEARS
SO HARD TO KEEP MY OWN HEAD...THAT'S WHAT I SAY
YOU KNOW...I'VE BEEN THE DEALER...
HANGIN' ON YOUR STREET
I WAS THE DOG...THEY ALL TRIED TO BEAT

BUT IT'S BEEN
14 YEARS OF SILENCE
IT'S BEEN
14 YEARS OF PAIN
IT'S BEEN
14 YEARS THAT ARE GONE FOREVER
AND I'LL NEVER HAVE AGAIN

BULLSHIT AND CONTEMPLATION
GOSSIP'S THEIR TRADE
IF THEY KNEW HALF THE REAL TRUTH
WHAT WOULD THEY SAY
WELL I'M PAST THE POINT OF CONCERN
IT'S TIME TO PLAY
THESE LAST 4 YEARS OF MADNESS
SURE PUT ME STRAIGHT
YOU 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
NOTHIN'S FOR FREE
OH I TRIED TO SEE IT YOUR WAY
I TRIED TO SEE IT YOUR WAY

Ain't It Fun

Ain't it fun when you're always on the run
Ain't it fun when you're friends despise what you become.
Ain't it fun when you get so high, well that you, you just can't come.
Ain't it fun when you know that you gonna die young,

It's such fun, Good fun, Such fun, such fun, Aah such fun,
such fun, fun Aah, yeah, fun, just fun, such...

Ain't it fun when you take care of number one
Oh ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun
Ain't it fun when you just can't seem to find your tongue,
'cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung,

it's such fun, ah.

Well, so good to me, they spit right in my face,
and I didn't even feel it, it was such a disgrace.
I punched my fist right through the glass,
and I didn't even feel it, it happened so fast,
such fun, such fun, such fun,
Ah such fun, such fun, such fun,
Ah such fun

Ain't it fun when you tell her she's just a cunt
Ain't it fun when you she splits you and leaves you on a bum
Well, ain't it fun when you've broken up every band you've ever begun
Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young

It's such fun
Such fun

Anything Goes

I've been thinkin bout
Thinkin bout sex
Always hungry for somethin
That I havent had yet
Well 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
Doing that grind
with a push and a squeeze
Tied up, tied down,
Up against the wall
Be my rubbermade baby
And we can do it all

My way, your way
Anything goes tonight

Back Off Bitch

Oh baby, pretty baby
Oh honey, you let me down honey
I ain't playin' childhood games
no more
I said it's time for me
to even the score
So stake your claim,
your claim to fame
But baby call another neme
When you feel the fire,
and taste the flame

Back off, back off bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off bitch
Back off, back off bitch

Makin' love
Cheap heartbreaker, broken backed,
Nasty ballbreaker, stay out of my bed, outta my head
If it's lovin' you,
I'm better off dead

Back off, back off bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off bitch
Back off, back off bitch

Emotions ripped, gone on a binge
Life lipped, I said you're off the hinge
Tellin' lies of such fame and glory
I don't even wanna hear your story

Back off, back off bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off bitch
It's such a pity that you're such a bitch

Back off, back off bitch
It's time to burn-burn the witch
Back off, back off bitch
Back off, back off bitch
Back off, back off bitch

Hey wha'd'ya think he's tryin' to say there, anyway?
I think it's something each person's s'posed to take in their own special
way
Fucking bitch

Bad Apples

Diamonds and fast cars
Money to burn
I got my head in the clouds
I got these thoughts to churn
Got my feet in the sand
I got a house on the hill
I got a headache like a mother
Twice the price of my thrills
An it's a cold day,
It's a continental drift
I said this traffic is hell
Can you give me a lift
An I'll try to paint a story
Got your pictures to tell
Yeah you got to make a living
With what you bring yourself to sell

I got some genuine
Imitation
Bad Apples
Free sample
For your peace o' mind
Only $9.95
I got my camera back from customs
Got my law fees up to date
Hell they musta seen me comin'
Ain't this life so fuckin' great

When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch

Gold and caviar
Now why'nt you pour my apathy
I'd have all my bases covered
If I could teach my hands to see
But now we're down in the deep end
Where they'd love to watch you drown
I said your laundry could use washing
We'll hang it up all over town
I said Hollywood's like a dryer
An we're down on Sunset Strip
An you'll be suckin' down the Clorox
'Til your life's all nice and crisp

When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch

When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch
BOY!!

Bad Obsession

I can't stop thinkin'
Thinking 'bout sinkin'
Sinkin' down into my bed
I call my mother
She's just a cunt now
She said I'm sick in the head
She said you ain't special
So who you foolin'
Don't try ta give me a line
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout
seein' ya one more time
(Oh no)
But I already left you
And you're better off left behind


It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind


Too bad you're fucked up


I used to be wasted
Always tried to take it
Take it down into my vein
I call the doctor
He's just another
He said I'm sick in the brain
He said you ain't special
So who you foolin'
Don't try ta give me a line
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout
doin' it one more time
(Oh no)
But I already left you
And you're better off left behind
(Oh yeah)


Aw it's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind


So bad...


Boy


It's a
It's a
Heads up
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
Now it's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind


But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout
doin' it one more time
(Oh no)
See I already left you
And you're better off left behind
(Oh no, oh no)
It's a bad obsession
And you're always messin' my mind
See I already left you
And you're better off left behind
Uh huh...no


Maybe you'll do better next time
PUNK!!

Better

No one ever told me when I was alone
they just thought I'd know better, better.

No one ever told me when I was alone
they just thought I'd know better, better.


The hardest part this troubled heart has never
yet been through now.
We've healed the scars that got their start
inside someone like you now.

Well had I known or I'd been shown back
when I longed you'd take me.
To break the charge that brought me home
and all that won't erase me.

I never would know that I could
no matter what you'd pay me.
Replay the part, you stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy.

If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me.
It'd be enough, but just my luck,
I fell in love and baby all that I wanted was

Now I know you better,
You know I'd know better,
now I know you better!

So bittersweet, this tragedy won't ask for absolution,
this melody inside of me still searches for solution,
a twist of fate, a change of heart,
kills my infatuation,
a broken heart, provides the spark for my determination,

no one ever told me when I was alone,
they just thought I'd know better, better.
ooh, no one ever told me when I was alone,
they just thought I'd know better, better.

Black Leather

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Well, she's all geared up, walkin' down the street
And I can feel the slime, drippin' down her sleeve
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do

Ooh
Ooh

Well, it's late at night, and I'm all alone
And I can hear her boots as she's near her home
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do

[CHORUS:]

Scratch, scratch, she's clawing at the door
Whoa, no, I can't take it anymore
Crack, crack I'm feeling so sore
I never should asked for black leather
Black leather
Ooh, black leather
Ow black leather

And you can try to hide, but you won't get far
You can let her in, and you'll start it again
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse and you just can't choose what she's gonna do

[CHORUS]

Ooh
Ooh
Black Leather [x 8]

Breakdown

We all come in from the cold
We come down from the wire
An 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 hidin' in a closet
Can't tell what's goin' 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 darlin' sometimes
Bites the hand that feeds

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 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 yo' bad self
Alright

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 out of love and I gotta have it
Would you give it to me
If I fit you 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 ev'rything was Roses
When we held on to the Guns
Just because you're winnin'
Don't mean you're the lucky ones

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

"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"

Buick Mackane

Buick, Buick Mackane will ya,

Spoken: 'See my soul'

Sire, Sire,

Catcher In The Rye

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folk's say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun

I thought that I was crazy,
Well, I guess I'd have more fun
Guess I'd have more fun

Ooh, the Catcher in the Rye again,
ooh ooh ooh, won't let ya get away from him,
It's just another day like today

You decide if I don't have to
Then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime or long thereafter
If it's cold outside
Ive imagined

All Alone

Oh, oh.

Ooh, the Catcher in the Rye again,
ooh ooh ooh, won't let ya get away from him.
It's just another day like today.

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folk's say
As if they'd ever change
That's not, who am I to say?
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
It's what used to be's not there for me
And ought to find someone that belonged insane like I do

Not an ordinary day
Back in an ordinary way
All at once this song I heard
No longer would it play for anybody
Or anyone
That needed coming from somebody
Needed coming from someone who cared to be
Not like you, unlike me
In an ordinary way for me
Somebody set the wheels in motion
Hearts are memories
You weret the instrument
You were the one
How about it?
Took the body
Gave that boy a gun
Took our innocence
Beyond our stance
Some type of moment
There you got it
All alone in jail today

Chinese Democracy

It don't really matter
You'll find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
You're gonna leave this thing to
Somebody else

If they missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese school
To view my dis-infatu-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong*
They've seen the end and you can't hold on now

Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To stop the fascination
Even with an iron fist
Our baby got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time

It don't really matter
You're gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear now from
Somebody else

Cause it would take a lot more time than you
I've got more masturbation
Even with your iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time
More than you got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time

It don't really matter
Gonna keep it to myself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from
Somebody else

You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat them all up they'll die
Then you'll walk them home for the cells
Then now you'll dig for your road back to hell
And with your ???? makes you stop
As if your eyes were their eyes you can tell
In your lack of time

Civil War

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." *
(whistle)

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
Ow, oh no, no, no, no, no

Look at the shoes you're 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 ADVANTAGE
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
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
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
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no
I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
No, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no
WHAZ SO CIVIL 'BOUT WAR ANYWAY?
(whistle)
DS

Coma

See you've caught me in a coma
And I dont think I wanna
Ever come back to this
World again
Kinda like it in a coma
Cause no one's ever gonna
Oh make me come back to this
World again

Now I feel as if I'm floating away
I can't feel the pressure
And I like it this way
But my body's calling, my body's calling
Want me to come back to this
World again

Suspended deep in a sea of black
I got the light at the end
I got the bones on the mast
Well, I've gone sailing, I've gone sailing
I could leave so easily
My friends are calling back to me
I said yeah,
They're leaving it all up to me when
All I needed was clarity
And someone to tell me what the fuck is going on
Goddamnit

Slippin' farther and farther away
It's a miracle how long we can stay
In a world our minds created
In a world that's full of shit

Please
Understand me
I'm climbin through the wreckage
Of all my twisted dreams
And this cheap investgation
Just cant stifle all my screams
And I'm waiting
At the crossroads
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Where are you

No one's gonna bother me anymore
No one's gonna mess with my head no more
I cant understand what all the fightin's for
But it's so nice here down off the shore
I wish you could see this
Cause there's nothing to see
It's peacefull here and its fine with me
Not like the world where I used to live
I never really wanted to live..

Zap him again...
Zap the son of a bitch again

Live your life like it's a coma
Won't you tell me why we'd wanna
With all the reasons you give
It's kinda hard to believe

But who am I to tell you that I've seen any reason
Why you should stay
Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway
I got a one way ticket on your last chance ride
Got a one way ticket to your suicide
Got a one way ticket and there's no way out alive

And all this crass communication that has left you in the cold
Isn't much for consolation when you feel so weak and old
But if home is where the heart is
Then there's stories to be told
No, you dont need a doctor
No one else can heal your soul

Got your mind in submission
Got your life on the line
But nobody pulled the trigger
They just stepped aside
They'll be down by the water
While you watch 'em wavin' goodbye

They'll be callin in the morning
They'll be hanging on the phone
They'll be waitin for an answer
But you know nobody's home
And when the bells stop ringing
It was nobody's fault but your own

There were always ample warning
There were always subtle signs
And you would have seen them coming
But we gave you too much time
And when you said that no one's listening
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting for a
Way to spend our time

And it's so easy to be social
It's so easy to be cool
Yeah, its easy to get hungry
When you ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you
With what you hope to find
But I'm still out here waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take some time
To heal those broken memories
That another man would need
Just to survive

Crash Diet

Crash diet of reds'n'ludes
A shot of vitamin C and a bottle of booze
Too stupid to live with nothin' to lose
In your one track mind now
Where's that leave you?

Drink'n'drive white lightning faster baby
Takin' your last ride
Now better be so careful or you'll be dead before you time
Sorry you took mother's car now

Tears in my eyes, baby please don't go
You bet (?!) one too many, now one for the road
fresh outta detox, fresh from jail
Took your rehabilitation and you drove me to hell

Drink'n'drive white lightning faster
Takin' your last ride
Better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Sorry you took mohter's car now

Too soon, you thought ... ?!
Too late for the pressure and strain
Too bad for those who don't believe it
Ruby street still calls your name

[guitar solo]

Itchy trigger finger and the race to be alive
Smokin' a cig while you drink'n'drive
With no control in your life ahead
You're never gonna see if you wind up dead

Drink'n'drive white lightning faster
Takin' your last ride
Better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Drink'n'drive white lightning baby
It's always on your mind
Push or pull your limits baby, do it one more time
Break it down
Break it down
Somethin''s changin', somethin''s breakin'
You gotta be a brother, 'coz ?! your family
?!.... Oh make it
Sweet mystery, Ooohhhh
If you don't care about yourself
Would you please leave me alive
Oooohhhh...
You gonna
You gonna drink'n'drive
Oooohhhhh, Yeeaaah

Don't Damn Me

DON'T DAMN ME
WHEN I SPEAK A PIECE OF MY MIND
'CAUSE SILENCE ISN'T GOLDEN
WHEN I'M HOLDING IT INSIDE
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN WHERE I HAVE BEEN
AN I'VE SEEN WHAT I HAVE SEEN
I PUT THE PEN TO THE PAPER
'CAUSE IT'S ALL A PART OF ME

BE IT A SONG OR A CASUAL CONVERSATION
TO HOLD MY TOUNGE SPEAKS
OF QUIET RESERVATIONS
YOUR WORDS ONCE HEARD
THEY CAN PLACE YOU IN A FACTION
MY WORDS MAY DISTURB
BUT AT LEAST THERE'S A REACTION

SOMETIMES I WANNA KILL
SOMETIMES I WANNA DIE
SOMETIMES I WANNA DESTROY
SOMETIMES I WANNA CRY
SOMETIMES I COULD GET EVEN
SOMETIMES I COULD GIVE UP
SOMETIMES I COULD GIVE
SOMETIMES I NEVER GIVE A FUCK

IT'S ONLY FOR A WHILE
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND
I NEVER WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN
DIDN'T WANNA BE A MAN
SO I HID INSIDE MY WORLD
I TOOK WHAT I COULD FIND
I CRIED WHEN I WAS LONELY
I FELL DOWN WHEN I WAS BLIND

BUT DON'T DAMN ME WHEN I SPEAK
A PIECE OF MY MIND
'CAUSE SILENCE ISN'T GOLDEN
WHEN I'M HOLDING IT INSIDE
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN WHERE I HAVE BEEN
AN I'VE SEEN WHAT I HAVE SEEN
I PUT THE PEN TO THE PAPER
'CAUSE IT'S ALL A PART OF ME

HOW CAN I EVER SATISFY YOU
AN HOW CAN I EVER MAKE YOU SEE
THAT, DEEP INSIDE WE'RE ALL SOMEBODY
AN IT DON'T MATTER WHO YOU WANNA BE
BUT NOW I GOTTA SMILE I HOPE YOU COMPREHEND
FOR THIS MAN CAN SAY IT HAPPENED
'CAUSE THIS CHILD HAS BEEN CONDEMNED
SO I STEPPED INTO YOUR WORLD
I KICKED YOU IN THE MIND
AN I'M THE ONLY WITNESS
TO THE NATURE OF MY CRIME

BUT LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE
TO THE INNOCENT AND YOUNG
WHOA LISTEN TO WHO'S TALKING
'CAUSE WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES
THE TRASH COLLECTED BY THE EYES
AND DUMPED INTO THE BRAIN
SAID IT TEARS INTO OUR CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS
YOU TELL ME WHO'S TO BLAME

I KNOW YOU DON'T WANNA HEAR ME CRYING
AN I KNOW YOU DON'T WANNA HEAR ME DENY
THAT YOUR SATISFACTION LIES IN YOUR ILLUSIONS
BUT YOUR DELUSIONS ARE YOURS AN NOT MINE
WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT WE KNOW THE WHOLE STORY
WE JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER
AND READ WHAT WE WANT
BETWEEN SELECTED LINES

DON'T HAIL ME
AN DON'T IDOLIZE THE INK
OR I'VE FAILED IN MY ATTENTIONS
CAN YOU FIND THE MISSING LINK
YOUR ONLY VALIDATION IS IN LIVING YOUR OWN LIFE
VICARIOUS EXISTENCE IS A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME
SO I SEND THIS SONG TO THE OFFENDED
I SAID WHAT I MEANT AND I'VE NEVER PRETENDED
AS SO MANY OTHERS DO INTENDING JUST TO PLEASE
IF I DAMNED YOUR POINT OF VIEW
COULD YOU TURN THE OTHER CHEEK

DON'T DAMN ME WHEN I SPEAK A PIECE A MIND
'CAUSE SILENCE ISN'T GOLDEN
WHEN IM HOLDING IT INSIDE
I'VE BEEN WHERE I HAVE BEEN
AN I'VE SEEN WHAT I HAVE SEEN
PUT THE PEN TO THE PAPER
'CAUSE IT'S ALL A PART OF ME
DON'T DAMN ME
I SAID DON'T DAMN ME
I SAID DON'T HAIL ME
AH, DON'T DAMN ME

No more patience man
You dig what I'm sayin'?

Down On The Farm

All I need is some inspiration
Before I do somebody some harm
I feel just like a vegetable
Down here on the farm

Nobody comes to see me
Nobody here to turn me on
I ain't even got a lover
Down here on the farm

They told me to get healthy
They told me to get some sun
But boredom eats me like catsup
Down here on the farm

Drinking lemonade shanty
Ain't no body gonna do me harm
But I'm like a fish out of water
Down here on the farm

I write a thousand letters
'til my fingers all gone numb
But I never see no postman
Down here on the farm

I call my baby on the telephone
I say come down and have some fun
But she knows what the score is
Down here on the farm

I can't fall in love with a wheat field
I can't fall in love with a barn
When everything smells like horse shit
Down here on the farm

Blue skies and swimming pools
Add so much charm
But I'd rather be back in Soho
Than down here on the farm

On the fucking farm!

Are you born in a fucking barn or what?

Baaaaaa!
