I didn't really know where to post this... but I only want the lyrics to be from original GNR, so I figured it could work here :)

I really want to get a tattoo of lyrics from GNR. I love Estranged but I feel like it could be a little too dark/depressing to have on my body forever. I want to get it on my ribs.

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

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

And you don't walk so proud any more, and what for

I definitely wouldn't get the whole thing tattooed on me.

Any other ideas? :)

"Maybe I'll get it right, next time".

Double meaning? :xmasssanta: :xmasssanta: :xmasssanta:

i'd go with anything from Estranged, Don't damn me

or

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

or

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

or

Please understand me

I'm climbin' through the wreckage

Of all my twisted dreams

And this cheap investigation

Just can't stifle all my screams

And I'm waiting

At the crossroads

Waiting for you

or

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 **** to lose

Those would be my choices if I ever decide to get one. From current lineup I'd go for CITR, TWAT or Maddy :xmasssanta:

There are a lot of great meaningful lyrics..

I've been workin on a Guns N' Roses stand for awhile n here's quotes which I've used:

„Nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change

And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain“

„You can taste the bright lights but you won't get them for free“

„And when your fears subside and shadows still remain, oh yeah

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

Nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain”

„All we need is just a little patience”

„Give me a whisper

And give me a sigh

Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye“

„I've been walkin' these streets at night

Just tryin' to get it right

It's hard to see with so many around

You know I don't like bein' stuck in a crowd

And the streets don't change but maybe the name

I ain't got time for the game

'Cause I need you“

„And please remember that I never lied

And please remember how I felt inside now, honey

You got to make it your own way

But you'll be alright now, sugar

You'll feel better tomorrow

Come the morning light now, baby“

„When you're talkin' to yourself

And nobody's home

You can fool yourself

You came in this world alone, alone...“

„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“

„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 mustn't hesitate

If I'm to find my own way out“

„Still talkin' to myself and nobody's home, alone…“

„Well I jumped into the river

Too many times to make it home

I'm out here on my own, and drifting all alone“

„'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 anybody to replace you

Guess I'll have to make it through 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“

„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”

„You can't trust freedom

When it's not in your hands

When everybody's fightin'

For their promised land“

„When I come home late at night

Don't ask me where I've been

Just count your stars I'm home again“

„But if this ever changin' world

In which we live in

Makes you give in and cry

Say, "Live and let die! "“

„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?“

„Welcome to the jungle, we got fun 'n' games

We got everything you want, honey we know the names

We are the people that you find, whatever you may need

If you got the money, honey we got your disease“

„You can have anything you want but you better not take it from me“

„Feel my serpentine...“

„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“

„Slipping 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“

„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“

„But nobody pulled the trigger

They just stepped aside“

„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“

„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“

„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”

„Know it's gonna take some time

To heal those broken memories

That another man would need

Just to survive”

„No matter how I try they say it's all a lie

So what's the use of my confessions to a crime

Of passions that won't die in my heart”

„And though as long as this road seems

I know it's called the street of dreams“

„I don't know just what I should do

Everywhere I go I see you“

„What I thought was true before

Were lies I couldn't see

What I thought was beautiful

Is only memories“

„And now I don't know why

She wouldn't say goodbye

But then it seems that I

Had seen it in her eyes“

„So now I wander through my days

Trying to find my ways

To the feelings that I felt

I saved for you and no one else“

„Sail away sweet sister

Sail across the sea

Maybe you'll find somebody

That will love you half as much as me

My heart is always with you

No matter what you do

So sail away sweet sister

Cause I'll always be in love with you“

„Well some say I'm lazy

And others say that's just me

Some say I'm crazy

I guess I'll always be“

„Whatever happened to sex drugs n' rock n' roll?

Now we just have AIDS crack and techno…“

„Everyone needs love

You know that it's true

Someday you'll find someone

That'll fall in love with you“

„And I don't worry about nothing, no

'Cause worrying's a waste of my... time“

„I knew I'd miss her

So I had to keep her

She's buried right in my backyard“

„I've got a tongue like a razor“

„I might be a little young

But honey, I ain't naive“

„No one needs the sorrow

No one needs the pain

I hate to see you

Walking out there

Out in the rain“

„Don't ever leave me

Say you'll always be there

All I ever wanted

Was for you

To know that I care“

„I'm never alone 'cause I've got myself“

„Tell everybody that I am sorry, truly sorry

For all the wrong I've done

I never meant to hurt nobody, oh no

Lord I never want to do no wrong“

„Take hold my hand, and hold it tighter, ever tighter

You must believe that I love you still

But my strength, it grows weaker, and weaker

And my body has lost its will“

I hope you'll choose the best for u. :thumbsup:

My favorites:

"You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play."

"Just because you're winnin' don't mean you're the lucky ones."

"With all the changing seasons of my life, maybe I'll get it right next time"

"You can taste the bright lights, but you won't get them for free."

"Never mind the darkness, we still can find a way."

"My way, your way, anything goes tonight."

"Time just fades the pages in my book of memories."

''You wan'da step into my world, it's a sociopsychotic state of bliss'' :tongue2:;)

Personally I'd go for newer songs:

''The only one in the game who's lost is you''

'' It's harder to live with the truth about you than to live with the lies about me''

'' I just can't let it die, 'cause her heart's just like mine, and she holds her pain inside''
