Anyone think of Axl Rose when listening to

[Super Mario]

And yes, I know there is no real connection, since this song was on Pink FLoyd's 1983 album The Final Cut, but the olyrics just seem to be partly about Axl Rose.

Floating down

Through the clouds

Memories come rushing up to meet me now

But in the space between the heavens

And in the corner of some foreign field

I had a dream

I had a dream

Goodbye Max

Goodbye Ma

After the service

When you're walking slowly to the car

And the silver in her hair shines in the cold november air

You hear the tolling bell

And touch the silk in your lapel

And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band

You take her frail hand

And hold on to the dream

A place to stay

[bloke:] "Oi! A real one..."

Enough to eat

Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street

Where you can speak out loud

About your doubts and fears

And what's more

No-one ever disappears

You never hear their standard issue

Kicking in your door

You can relax on both sides of the tracks

And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control

And everyone has recourse to the law

And no-one kills the children anymore

No-one kills the children anymore

Night after night

Going round and round my brain

His dream is driving me insane

In the corner of some foreign field

The gunner sleeps tonight

What's done is done

We cannot just write off his final scene

Take heed of the dream

Take heed

I bolded some of the part that remind me of Axl Rose. Especially the end, "We cannot just write off his final scene", makes me think of Chinese Democracy and so worth.

Sorry for the stupid post.

[Spoon87]

that's not a stupid post, i can feel you.

especially these lines "The gunner sleeps tonight What's done is done We cannot just write off his final scene" fit very good.

it would be good if Axl listerned to Floyd, then he might learn how to write good lyrics.

The Gunners deam is one of the most emotional songs I have ever heard. Brilliant Waters song. I have read Axl loves the Floyd. They used to play the intro to Mother before Paradise City back in the day. The middle of Coma is a little Floydish as well----

Ahaha, i had to laugh at that

Your saying that because i dont like his lyrics i must not be a "true" fan? oh geez

Axl's lyrics are hardly great, everyone knows that. Roger Water is a lengendary lyricist, everyone should take notice of his work. Axl hasnt because his lyrics are absolutely nothing like Floyd lyrics.

I love GN'R for for the music not the lyrics, go get stuffed.

[IdRatherWalk]

no I think of pink floyd when i listen to that song.

hes right, axl is hardly a lyrical genius.

[Duffan]

lyrical genius.

I hate that term , IMO it's to subjective there are a lot of great lyricists and writers in rock music who chose different avenues of written expression and it's all different , I know a lot of people who think Waters lyrics are assinine and only make sense if your'e stoned , Like I said it's subjective .

Peace GnR Nation

[DirtyDeeds]

Well, people who can only see Waters' lyrics as making sense when you're stoned only have minds that are on par with My Michelle-type lyrics.

I suppouse but everyone has a different idea of what a genius is , personally I think Bon Scott was a great writer , very clever and slick with the lyrics but others think it's just cock-rock crap so , well ya see what I'm sayin .

I dont often use the term "lyrical genius" but there are a few out there.
