Reckless Life Lyrics
[Spoken Word Intro: Slash]
Hey fuckers! Suck on Guns N' fuckin' Roses!
[Verse 1]
I am reckless and feeling no pain
You know I have got no need to control
Living with the danger, I am always on the edge now
With million dollar visions that I hold
Living like this never ever tore my life apart
I know how to maintain and you know I know my part
[Verse 2]
On a holiday, a permanent vacation
I'm living on a cigarette with wine
I am never alone because I have got myself
Yes, I imitate myself all of the time
Living like this never ever tore my life apart
I know how to maintain because it is coming from my heart
[Bridge]
I lead a reckless life and I don't need your advice
I lead a reckless life and you know it's my only vice
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Reckless life, I lead a reckless life
I lead a reckless life and you know it's my only
Reckless life, I lead a reckless life
I lead a reckless life and you know it's my only
Nice Boys Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She hit town like a rose in bloom
Smelling sweet, said sweet perfume
The color faded and the petals died
Down in the city, no one cried
[Pre-Chorus]
In the streets, the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
The roaches so big, you know that they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home
[Chorus]
I said, "Nice boys don't play rock and roll"
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy
[Verse 2]
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
She met the man and she did the smack
Paid the price laying flat on her back
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanted so bad just to please the boys
They ended up just being a toy
Played so hard burned her life away
Lies were told no promises made
[Chorus]
You know, nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy and I never was
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get her ass around
But now she lays in a filthy room
She kills the pain with a flick and a spoon
[Pre-Chorus]
And in the streets, the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
You know the roaches so big, you know that they got bones
Moved in and made a tenement home
[Chorus]
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
[Outro]
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Na, na, na na, na, na, baby
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'll bet your mamma said
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
Move to the City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You pack your bags and you move to the city
There's something missing here at home
You fix your hair and you look real pretty
It's time you're gettin' out on your own
You're always fightin' with your mama and your papa
Your family life is one big pain
When are you, you gonna move to the city
Into the city where it all began?
[Chorus]
You gotta move, you gotta move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, child you gotta move
[Verse 2]
You stole your mama's car and your daddy's plastic credit card
You're sixteen and you can't get a job, you're not goin' very far
You're always fightin' with the teachers and the police
This life is much too insane
When are you, you gonna move to the city
Into the city where it all began?
[Chorus]
You gotta move, you gotta move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, child you gotta move
Into the city with the real nitty gritty
Oh, child ain't it a pity
Sometimes it gets too shitty
Come on and hit me
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You're on the streets and it ain't so pretty
At least you get to do what you please
You do what you gotta do for the money
At times, you end up on your knees
Always fightin' with the local and the junkies
This city life is one big pain
But you, you had to move to the city
Into the city where it all began
[Chorus]
You had to move, you had to move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, child you had to move
Oh, into the city with the real nitty gritty
Oh, child ain't it a pity
Sometimes it gets too shitty
Come on and hit me
Mama Kin Lyrics
[Intro]
This is a song about your fuckin' mother
[Verse 1]
It ain't easy living like a gypsy
Tell you, honey, how it feels
I been dreamin', floatin' downstream, and
Losin' touch with all that's real
[Verse 2]
Whole lotta lover, keepin' undercover
Never knowin' where you been, ooh, yeah
You been fadin', always out paradin'
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
[Chorus]
You always got your tail on the wag
Spittin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out or someday soon
You're gonna climb back on the wagon
[Verse 3]
It ain't easy living like you wanna
And so hard to find piece of mind, yes it is
The way I see it, you got to say, "Shit," but
Don't forget to drop me a line
[Chorus]
Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your daddy's just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with his beans
You better check it out or someday soon
You're gonna climb back on the wagon
[Bridge]
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and suckin' me, oh-oh, no
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
It ain't easy living like you wanna
And so hard to find piece of mind, yes it is
The way I see it, you got to say, "Shit," but
Don't forget to drop me a line
[Chorus]
Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your daddy's just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with his beans
You better check it out or someday soon
You're gonna climb back on the wagon
[Outro]
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and suckin' me, oh-oh
Ow, ow, ow, yeah
Ow
Ow
Patience Lyrics
[Intro: Duff McKagan]
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you, I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure but you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
[Chorus]
Said, woman, take it slow and it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience, mm-mm, yeah
[Verse 2]
I sit here on the stairs 'cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
[Chorus]
Said, woman, take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time 'cause the lights are shinin' bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it, we won't fake it
Oh, I'll never break it 'cause I can't take it
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Little patience, mm, yeah, ooh, yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience
I've been walkin' the streets tonight (Yeah)
Just tryin' to get it right (Need some patience)
It's hard to see with so many around (Yeah)
You know I don't like bein' stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience)
And the streets don't change, but maybe the names (Yeah)
I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (Gotta have more patience)
Yeah-yeah, but I need you (Yeah)
Ooh, I need you (All it takes is patience)
Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)
Ooh, this time (Is all you need)
Ah
Used to Love Her Lyrics
[Intro]
Ok, so, bitchin', fussin', pissin'
[Chorus]
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, ooh yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
[Verse 1]
I used to love her, ooh yeah
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, ooh yeah
But I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
[Bridge]
Woah, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Woah-oh, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, ooh yeah
But I had to kill her
She bitched so much
She drove me nuts
And now we're happier this way
[Bridge]
Woah-woah, yeah
Take it for what it is
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, ooh yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her, ooh-ooh
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
You’re Crazy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been looking for a trace
Looking for a heart
Looking for a lover in a world
That's much too dark
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction, ooh yeah
You don't need my love
You got to find yourself another piece of the action, yeah, ha ha ha
[Verse 2]
Said where you going
What you gonna do?
I've been looking everywhere
I've been looking for you
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want my love
You want satisfaction, I've got your satisfaction
You don't need my love
You got to find yourself another piece of the action
[Chorus]
‘Cause you're crazy, crazy
You're fucking crazy, oh my
You know you're crazy, oh child
I said you're crazy, ay, ay, yeah
Uh yeah, aow, oh!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Say, boy, where you coming from?
Where would you get that point of view?
When I was younger
Said I knew someone like you
[Pre-Chorus]
And they said, "You don't want my love"
You want satisfaction, yeah
You don't need my love
You've got to find yourself another piece of the action
[Chorus]
'Cause you're crazy, hey hey
You're fucking crazy, oh my
You know you're crazy, oh child
I said you're crazy
Oh, you're crazy
You know you're crazy
Well, you're crazy
You know you're crazy, oh
[Outro]
You know you are
Bring it down
You're fuckin' crazy
One in a Million Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Guess I needed some time to get away
I needed some peace of mind, some peace of mind that'll stay
So I thumbed it down to sixth in L.A
Maybe a Greyhound could be my way
Police and niggas, that's right, get out of my way
Don't need to buy none of your gold chains today
Now, don't need no bracelets clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket, 'til then, won't you cut me some slack?
[Chorus]
You're one in a million, yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe, you're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you, but you were much too high
Much too high
Much too high
Much too high, ow!
[Verse 2]
Immigrants and faggots, they make no sense to me
They come to our country and think they'll do as they please
Like start some mini-Iran or spread some fucking disease
They talk so many goddamn ways, it's all Greek to me
Well, some say I'm lazy, ooh, and others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy, I guess I'll always be
But it's been such a long time since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end, I-I keep it moving along
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
[Chorus]
You're one in a million, ooh, you're a shooting star
You're one in a million, babe, you know that you are
Maybe someday we'll see you, ooh, before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you, but you were much too high
Much too high
Oh, much too high
Yeah, much too high, oh, no, no, no, no, ow!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Radicals and racists, don't point your finger at me
I'm a small-town white boy just trying to make ends meet
Don't need your religion, don't watch that much TV
Just making my living, baby, well, that's enough for me
[Chorus]
You're one in a million, yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe, you're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you, but you were much too high
[Outro]
Much too high, yeah, ow!
Much too high
Much too high
Much too high, yeah, ow!
Much too high, ow
Much too high, ah
Much too high, ah
Much too high
Much too high, ow!
Much too high
