Use Your Illusion

在印象裡Guns N' Roses一直就是非常囂張的hardrock
所以前幾天在爆炸的Blog裡聽到Don't Cry的時候真的嚇了很大一跳
沙啞的Don't you cry tonight 安慰中又像在抱歉著甚麼 手足無措的反覆著
Fuck說那叫做男子漢的溫柔
我不是男子漢 所以不很明白那種溫柔
只是糊裡糊塗的跟著流了一場眼淚
發夢似的不真實感 手裡沒有玫瑰也沒有手槍
Sorry 我不是極端主義者
還是那句Don't you cry tonight
紅腫的鼻頭說 那並不容易
止住了今晚的淚水 卻擋不掉明天的徬徨
微笑的人總是聽不見這樣過分哀愁的論調
只是 若真能一笑而過 那又有誰還要忙著哭泣呢
其實今晚很不錯 真的真的
慢慢學習著不要用廉價的啤酒來哀悼氾濫的內心澎湃
不是每個人生來都應該做rocker的

噢 來些題外話
拿到CD的時候我問Fuck:為什麼Rocker都非要瘦到見骨這樣
Fuck想也沒想的回答我:這樣子在台上脫光光才比較好看啊
(謎之聲:所以Axl才會越穿越少是嘛...?)

然後我發現Slash的樣子真是好看極了



12歲就學吉他.....? 我的12歲還在玩紅綠燈跟閃電逼逼.....

我一直覺得91年的Use Your Illusion可以稱得上是Guns N' Roses的顛峰之作，這句話讓一些死硬派搖滾樂迷聽到一定覺得我在起唬爛。畢竟，它實在太主流了。但也正因為它的主流跟商業化才能夠引起更多的共鳴，人是一種充滿預設立場的動物，你非得有個心甘情願的開始，才可以接著下去。所以才會有那麼多的人聽Guns N' Roses是從這張倒著聽回去的。本來主流與否跟音樂的好壞就不是絕對等號，過度的包裝不是件好事，但只要一見包裝過就全盤否定對音樂的本身來說卻也是非常不公平的。

而這張專輯更了不起的一點就是，它是引爆日後整個團四分五裂的一個重要導火線。Guns N' Roses最早是以bluesrock為基礎的硬搖滾，而Use Your Illusion卻很明顯的被加入了許多非搖滾的元素，兩種迥然不同的音樂理念從這時開始一點點的把Guns N' Roses撕成碎片。91年Izzy在巡演中宣佈退出後，整個樂團就像是被掏空似的再也寫不出一首好歌，剩下鬼打牆般的世界巡演還有Axl越來越短的緊身四角褲。緊接著nirvana王朝的誕生、團員間的漸行漸遠、叫好不叫座的The Spaghetti Incident...終於，96年slash出走後，華麗而燦爛的Guns N' Roses傳奇在隔年狼狽的畫上句點。

儘管尾收得令人有些不盛唏噓，但Guns N' Roses在搖滾樂迷心中卻始終佔了很重要的一個位置，才會即使到了今天也依舊有許多做著復團大夢的樂迷。事實上，在解散過後slash也曾不只一次的對 axl釋出善意，而結果則是一次次的證明了axl擁有的是一付多麼倔降的靈魂。

Slash還說過:Axl是他認識的人裡最有才華的一個。這是個美麗的說法，可天才卻往往是那種難以相處的神經病，但若是細數過他們留在身上與這個真實世界的擦傷後，一切又似乎沒甚麼好意外的了。

• 01. Right Next Door To Hell
  • I'll take a nicotine, caffine, sugar fix
    Jesus don't ya git tired of turnin' tricks
    But when your innocence dies
    You'll find the blues
    Seems all our heroes were born to lose
    Just walkin' through time
    You believe this heat
    Another empty house another dead end street
    Gonna rest my bones an sit for a spell
    This side of heaven this close to Hell
    
    Right next door to hell
    Why don't you write a letter to me yeah
    I said I'm right next door to hell
    An so many eyes are on me
    Right next door to hell
    I got nowhere else to be
    Right next door to hell
    Feels like the walls are closing in on me
    
    My mamma never really said much to me
    She was much too young and scared ta be
    Hell "Freud" might say that's what I need
    But all I really ever get is greed
    An most my friends they feel the same
    Hell we don't even have ourselves to blame
    But times are hard and thrills are cheaper
    As your arms get shorter
    Your pockets get deeper
    
    Right next door to hell
    Why don't you write a letter to me yeah
    I said I'm right next door to hell
    An so many eyes are on me
    Right next door to hell
    I never thought this is where I'd be
    Right next door to hell
    Thinkin' time'll stand still for me
    
    Fuck you
    Bitch
    
    Not bad kids just stupid ones
    Yeah we thought we'd own the world
    An gettin' used was havin' fun
    I said we're not sad kids just lucid ones yeah
    Flowin' through life not collectin' anyone
    So much out there
    Still so much to see
    Time's too much to handle
    Time's too much for me
    It drives me up the walls
    Drives me out of my mind
    Can you tell me what this means...huh ?
• 02. Dust N' Bones
  • 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

• 03. Live and let die
  • When you were young
    And your heart was an open book
    You used to say live and let live

    Say live and let die
    Live and let die
    
    What does it matter to ya
    When ya got a job to do
    Ya got to do it well
    You got to give the other fella hell
    
    You used to say live and let live
    You know you did

• 05. Perfect Crime
  • Kickin' back in the shadows
    Got no need for the light
    Who's sorry now old timer
    Look at how you've spent your life
    Scroungin' for change
    To put some money in your pocket
    My how scratch does burn
    Laughin' at the suckers as you pissed it away
    
    But I got the time and I got the muscle
    I got the need to lay it all on the line
    I ain't afraid of your smoke screen hustle
    It's a perfect crime
    Goddamn it it's a perfect crime
    Motherfucker it's a perfect crime
    I said it's perfect
    
    Keep the demons down
    And drag the skeletons out
    I got a blind man followin' me in chains
    I said he's fun to watch
    When the world has stopped
    An I think he's got somethin' to say
    "You wanna fuck with me, don't fuck with me-
    'Cause I'm what you'll be
    So don't fuck with me
    If you had better sense
    You'd step aside from the bad side of me
    Don't fuck wit'da bad side o' me
    Stay away from the bad side o' me
    Don't fuck wit'da bad side"
    
    T MINUS 1:09 AND COUNTING
    
    Ostracized but that's all right
    I was thinkin' about somethin' myself
    
    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
    
    Call on everybody who's got last rites
    Said it's better
    If you locked 'em away
    Runnin' through the visons
    At the speed of light
    Won't ya let me be
    Motherfucker just let me be
    Goddamn it better let me be
    Don't ya know ya better let me be...
    
    Perfect crime
    Goddamn it it's a perfect crime
    Motherfucker it's a perfect crime
    Don't cha know
    It's a perfect crime

  • I tried so hard just to get through to you
    But your head's so far
    From the realness of truth
    Was it just a come on in the dark
    Wasn't meant to last long

    I'll just see you along as I sing you this song

    Things always change
    You day's been numbered
    And I've read your last page

    Lots of others came before you woman
    Said but you been the worst
    Sa' you been the worst
    
    So goodbye to you girl
    So long, farewell

• 10. November Rain
  • hen 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 auch 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
• 11. The Garden
  • WYou know you're all alone
    Your friends they aren't at home
    Everybody's gone to the garden
    As you look into the trees
    You can look but you don't see
    The flowers seem to tease you at the garden
    Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care
    What's it with you man, and this garden
    
    Turned into my worst phobia,
    A crazy man's utopia
    If you're lost no one can show ya,
    But it sure was glad to know ya
    Only poor boys take a chance,
    On the garden's song and dance,
    Feel her flowers as they wrap around,
    But only smart boys do without
    
    You can find it all inside
    No need to wrestle with your pride
    No you ain't losin' your mind
    You're just in the garden
    They can lead you to yourself
    Or you can throw it on the shelf
    But you know you can look inside
    For the garden
    
    I wasn't really scared
    Lost my virginity there,
    To a gypsy with blond hair
    But now no one seems to care
    Like a mouse inside a maze
    Wandering round 4 daze
    With a smile upon my face,
    I never wanna leave this place
    Only poor boys take a chance,
    On the garden's song and dance,
    Feel her flowers as they wrap around,
    But only smart boys do without
    Turned into my worst phobia,
    A crazy man's utopia
    If you're lost no one can show ya,
    But it sure was glad to know ya
    Bye bye
    So long, bye bye
    It's glad to know ya
    Bye bye
    Bye bye
    Aw...so long
• 12. Garden Of Eden
  • It's a critical solution
    And the East Coast got the blues
    It's a mass of confusion
    Like the lies they sell to you
    
    You got a glass-jawed toothache
    Of a mental disease
    And they be running round back
    See them line up on their knees
    'Cause the kiss ass sycophants
    Throwing penance at your feet
    
    When they got nowhere to go
    Watch them come in off the streets
    While they're banging out front
    Inside they're slamming to the crunch
    Go on and throw me to the lions
    And the whole damn screaming bunch
    'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs 'R' everywhere you turn
    Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn
    This fire is burning and it's out of control
    It's not a problem you can stop
    It's rock n' roll
    
    I read it on a wall
    It went straight to my head
    It said "Dance to the tension of a world on edge"
    We got racial violence
    And who'll cast the first stone
    And sex is used anyway it can be
    Sometimes when I look out
    It's hard to see the day
    It's a feeling you can have it
    It's not mine to take away
    
    Lost in the Garden of Eden
    Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    And there's no one's going to believe this
    But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    This fire is burning and it's out of control
    It's not a problem you can stop
    It's rock n' roll
    Suck on that
    
    Looking through this point of view
    There's no way I'm going to fit in
    Don't you tell me what my eyes see
    Don't you tell me who to believe in
    I ain't superstitious
    But I know when something's wrong
    I've been dragging my heels
    With a b**ch called hope
    Let the undercurrent drag me along
    
    Lost in the Garden of Eden
    Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    And there's no one's going to believe this
    But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    
    Most organized religions make
    A mockery of humanity
    Our governments are dangerous
    And out of control
    The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard
    Said if they had someone to buy it
    Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul
    
    This fire is burning and it's out of control
    It's not a problem you can stop
    It's rock n' roll
    Lost in the Garden of Eden
    (And we ain't talking about no poison apple or some missing rib you hear)
    Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    And there's no one's going to believe this
    Said we're lost in the Garden of Eden
    This fire is burning and it's out of control
    It's not a problem you can stop
    It's rock n' roll
• 13. 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 casual conversation
    To hold my tongue 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 want to 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 cryin'
    An I know you don't wanna hear me deny
    That your satisfaction lies in your illussions
    But your delusions are yours and not mine
    We take for granted we know the whole story
    We judge a book by its 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 intentions
    Can you find the missing link
    Your only validation is 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
    
    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
    Don't damn me
    I said don't damn me
    I said don't hail me
    Don't damn me

• 15. Dead Horse
  • Sick of this life
    Not that you'd care
    I'm
    not the only one with
    Whom these feelings I share
    
    Nobody understands,
    Quite why we're here
    We're searchin' for answers
    That never appear
    
    But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
    I'd see your tryin' too
    To understand this life,
    That we're all goin' through
    (Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car...
    I didn't know what to do)
    
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
    An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
    I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
    It may sound funny but you'd think by now
    I'd be smilin'
    I guess some things never change
    Never change
    
    I met an old cowboy
    I saw the look in his eyes
    Somethin' tells me he's been here before
    'Cause experience makes you wise
    I was only a small child
    When the thought first came to me
    That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
    That brought back the devil in me
    
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
    An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
    I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
    It may sound funny but you'd think by now
    I'd be smilin'
    I guess some things never change
    Never change
    
    I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
    Still wet behind the ears
    I been around this track a couple o' times
    But now the dust is startin' to clear
    Oh yeah!!!
    
    Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse

• 16. Coma
  • Hey you caught me in a coma
    And I don't 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 all the pressure
    And I like it this way
    But my body's callin'
    My body's callin'
    Won't ya come back to this... world again
    Suspended deep in a sea of black
    I've got the light at the end
    I've got the bones on the mast
    Well I've gone sailin',
    I've gone sailin'
    I could leave so easily
    While friends are calling back to me
    I said they're
    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
    Goddamn it !
    
    Slippin' farther an 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
    
    Help me
    Help me
    Help me
    Help me
    Bastard
    
    Please understand me
    I'm climbin' through the wreackage
    Of all my twisted dreams
    But this cheap investigation just
    Can't stifle all my screams
    And I'm waitin' 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 can't 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 peaceful here and it's 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
    
    Ya live your life like it's a coma
    So won't you tell me why we'd wanna
    With all the reasons you give it's
    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
    You got a one way ticket
    On your last chance ride
    Gotta one way ticket
    To your suicide
    Gotta one way ticket
    An there's no way out alive
    An 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 don't 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 be down by the water
    While you watch 'em waving goodbye
    They be callin' in the morning
    They be hangin' on the phone
    They be waiting for an answer
    But you know nobody's home
    And when the bell's stopped ringing
    It was nobody's fault but your own
    There were always ample warnings
    There were always subtle signs
    And you would have seen it comin'
    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
    An "It's so easy" to be social
    "It's so easy" to be cool
    Yeah it's easy to be 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 the broken memories
    That another man would need
    Just to survive

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

• 07. 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."

• 08. Pretty Tied Up
  • 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...
• 09. 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,
• 10. 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
• 11. 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
• 12. 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
• 13. 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
• 14. 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
