YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 before axl changed this line (it can still be heard in the demo) this was my favorite: Like if your ass was your head you could tell - ''Chinese Democracy''but now it probably is:It's harder to live with the truth about you then to live with the lies about me - ''Sorry'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red13 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Definately the last bit of Street of Dreams or"So if she's somewhere near meI hope to God she hears meThere's noone else can ever make me feel I'm so aliveI hope she'll never leave mePlease God you must believe meI've searched the universe and found myself within her eyes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I think the lyrics to Sorry what were turned me onto the album and GNR in general. A great "Fuck You" song. Also, the "no-one, is a-stoppin' you from doing what you want to do" from Shackler's. Madagascar lyrics.Axl really is one of the great lyricists.this ... and Feelin' like I'm livin' inside of this song That whole bit:I bet you think I'm doing this all for my healthI should've looked again babe at somebody elseFeelin' like I'm done way more than wrongFeelin' like I'm livin' inside of this songFeelin' like I'm just too tired to careFeelin' like I done more than my share Could it be the way that I carried onLike a broken record for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcalldp Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 "oh, I Saw the Damage in You."(Obviously, in my sig) if I choose just one line that's it. If I chose a song or a verse it would get very hard to pick depending on mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.. Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 My favourite lines: "If I could go back in time to the place in my soul, there all alone, lonely tears drops are calling you, but I don't wanna know it now, cos knowing you, it won't change a damn thing, but there was a time"and"Feeling like I'm just too tired to care, feelin' like I've done more than my share, could it be the way that I've carried on, like a broken record for so long". This got me hooked when I first heard it, I found it so full of honesty that I had to buy the other GNR albums that I didn't know at the time.and, of course"What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore"AND"I've searched the universe and found myself within her eyes"and"No one can make you, do what they want to, you know you're stronger than the lies that they tell you"and"Somewhere in time where only I can tell"and"I never wanted you to be someone with anger, I never wanted you to be somebody else, I never wanted you to be someone frightened of themselves, I only wanted you to see things for yourself"last but not least"If we ever find it's true, that we have the strenght to chose, oh freed of all the chains we held together".One word about this album and the lyrics: masterpiece.

Velvet-Rose Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 axl really is a very under-rated lyricist.I dont think so, He is known for his classics like NR and SCOM, some for the lyrics, others for the video or Slash etc. But alot of people love the words.Then the heavier fans rate lyrics from lesser known Estranged, Coma and Breakdown etc.Axl's lyrics and voice (though not as it once was) are the only reasons i listen to Chi Dem. The music itself is fucking awful.I just think his life/personality/reputation overshadows his genious.Anyway...My choices would be:It's harder to live with the truth about you than to live with the lies about me. or A broken heart provides the spark for my determination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gods Favourite Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 "Difference is nobody cares about you..."Kidding. I think it's hard to choose, I would have to go with the whole ending of Catcher, it's just fantastisc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
