Live Era 1987-93 (explicit)

(rose)


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

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 you 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)


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

If i say i don't need anyone
I can say these things to you
'cause
I can turn on any one
Just like i turned on you
I've got a tongue like a razor
A sweet switchblade knife
And i can do you favors
But then you'll do whatever i like

Chorus:

Here i am
And you're a rocket queen
I might be a little young
But honey i ain't naive
Here i am
And you're a rocket queen oh yeah
I might be too much
But honey you're a bit obscene

I've seen everything imaginable
Pass before these eyes
I've had everything that's tangible
Honey you'd be surprised
I'm a sexual innuendo
In this burned out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonight

Chorus

I see you standing
Standing on your own
It's such a lonely place for you
For you to be
If you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I'll bee here standing
Until the bitter end
No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walking out there
Out in the rain
So don't chastise me
Or think i, i mean you harm
Of those that take you
Leave you strung out
Much too far
Baby-yeah

Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All i ever wanted
Was for you
To know that i care

I've been lookin' for a trace
Lookin' for a heart
Lookin' for a lover in the world that's much to 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 you 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

Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroine
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 keys


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 it 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
Case you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your cryin'
'cause we both now money burns
Honey don't stop tryin';
An' you'll get what you deserve

I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And i don't worry about nothin' no
'cause worrin'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
No, no ,no, 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 the 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 the 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

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 the 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 the little better than before

Chorus
Shoved it in the bindle and i shot it in the middle
And it, it drove outta my mind
I should've known better, said i wish i never met her said i,
I leave it all behind yowsa!

(stradlin / mckagan / slash)


He lost his mind today
He left it out back on the highway
On "65"


She loved him yesterday
Yesterday's over
I said okay
That's all right
Time moves on
That's the way
We live an hope to see the next day
That's all right


Sometimes these things they are so easy
Sometimes these things they are so cold
Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two
Oh no man don't let 'em get ta you


She loved him yesterday
He laid her sister
She said o.k.
An that's all right
Buried her things today
Way back out deep
Behind the driveway
And that's all right


Sometimes these women are so easy
Sometimes these women are so cold
Sometimes these women seem to rip you right in two
Only if you let 'em get to you


Ya get out on your own
And you/take all that you own
And you/forget about your home
And then you're/just fuckin' gone


There's no logic here today
Do as you got to, go your own way
I said that's right
Time's short your life's your own
And in the end
We are just


Dust n' bones

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
Yeah 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

(stradlin / rose)


Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside i've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know


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


Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
Tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby


And 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


And please remember that i never lied
And please remember
How i felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby


And 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

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, ohhh yeahhh
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

I used to love her, but i had to kill her
I used to love her, but i had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And i can still hear her complain


I used to love her, but i had to kill her
I used to love her, but i had to kill her
I knew i miss her
So i had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard


I used to love her, but i had to kill her
I used to love her, but i had to kill her
She bitched so much
She drove me nuts
And now i'm happier this way


I used to love her, but i had to kill her
I used to love her, but i had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And i can still hear her complain

Chorus

(bob dylan)


Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like i'm knockin' on heaven's door


Kn-kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door


Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like i'm knockin' on heaven's door


Kn-kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door
Kn-knockin' on heaven's door


"you just better start sniffin' your own
Rank subjugation jack 'cause it's just you
Against your tattered libido, 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 heaven's door

she's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
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

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
