Welcome To The Jungle -lyric

Welcome to the jungle
We got fun n' games
We got everything 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

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, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
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

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
I'm gonna watch you bleed

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

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, 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' gonna bring you down , HA!

SO WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE HERMITS",

It's So Easy - lyrics

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
So fuckin' easy
It's so easy
So damn easy
It's so easy
Oh, so fuckin' easy
It's so easy
Well, it's so easy
It's so easy
So fuckin' easy
It's so easy
Yeah!



Nightrain - lyric

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
And honey you can make my motor hum
Well 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
And I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the nightrain
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm ready to crash an' burn
Nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain

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

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


Out Ta Get Me - lyrics

Been hidin' out
And layin' low
It's nothin' new ta me
Well you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity
They break down the doors
And they rape my rights but
They won't touch me
They scream and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside
For so fuckin' long

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

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

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

no no oh oh no no no no no no no no oh oh no no no
(le' me see ya try)

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

CHORUS

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

quote:
"I don't know what by chance, the television audience will see. What any one will see. But what we'll see tonight. Is that we want to dedicate this song to the people who try to hold you back. The people who tell you how to live. The people who tell you how to dress. The people who tell you how to talk. The people who tell you what you can say, an' what you can't say. I personally don't need that. Those are the kind of people that get me down. They make me feel like somebody, somebody out there is, OUT TA GET ME!"

intro to the song from the live at the ritz in NY concert 1989)



Mr. Brownstone -  lyric

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
No, no, no, oh
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

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


Paradise City - lyrics

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

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
You know it's
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home yeah yeah 

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 you're gonna believe


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

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home, yeah, yeah

So far away (x4)

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

CHORUS:


My Michelle - lyric

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

Well, well, well you just can't tell
Well, well, well my Michelle
Look OUT!

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 call
Honey I'll return the key

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

Everyone 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 know money burns
Honey don't stop tryin;
An you'll get what you deserve

CHORUS


quote:
"This is for a, This is for a good friend of mine. Who gets hassled allot, 'cause no one believed it's really about her. Now she's having to sign autographs and can't understand that one. But this is for people, If you've got something that fills your life, fills the space, but deep down inside, you know aint right, don't ever give up hope, there's something out there. An' all you have to do, is just hold on and believe. This is a song called My Michelle."

Think About You - lyrics

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

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

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

Oooh Yeah!, ha, ha, ha

I think about you
You know that I do
I think about you all alone
Only of you
I think about you
Ooh it's true
I think about you, Oh 
Yes I do, Ow!

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

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

Sweet Child O' Mine -  lyric

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

WOoh, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine
WOoh, oh ,oh, oh, 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

WOoh, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine
WOoh, oh, oh, oh, Sweet love of mine

WOoh yeah!
WOoh, oh, oh, oh, Sweet child of mine
WOoh, oh, oh, oh, Sweet love of mine

WOoh, oh, oh, oh, Sweet child of mine
Ooo, yeah! 
Oooo, sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Ooo, oh, Where do we go
 Where do we go now
Oh, Where do we go now, Ow,
Where do we go
(whisper) "sweet child"
Ooo Where do we go now

i, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, i, 

Oh, Where do we go now
WOoh ah, ah, ah, oh, where do we go 
Ooh, Where do we go now
Oh, where do we go
Oh, where do we go now 
Where do we go 
WOoh, where do we go now 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no 

Sweet child 
Sweet child o' mine

quote:
"We're gonna dedicate this song to all the girls here tonight,  And all the guys that are, are hopin'  for thier chance at them tonight. This is something called Sweet Child O' Mine."
(quote intro to the song from the live at the ritz in NY concert 1989)



You're Crazy - lyrics

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

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

You don't want my love
You want satisfaction
I got your satisfaction
You don't need my love
You gotta, find yourself another
Piece of the action
'Cause you're crazy, crazy
You're fuckin' crazy, Oh my
Ya know you're crazy, oh child
I said you're crazy ay, ay

Oh, Yeah, Ow!, WOooh!

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

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

intro to the song from the live at Perkins Palace Pasadena concert 1987 )



Anything Goes - lyric

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

My way - Your way
Anything goes tonight
My way - Your way
Anything goes

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

My way - Your way
Anything goes tonight



Rocket Queen - lyrics

If I say I don't need anyone
I can say these things to you 'cause
I can turn on anyone
Just like I've 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 (x 2)

I see you standin'
Standin' 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 be 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
