There's a werewolf out on my front lawn and he's looking pissed off and he's wet from all the rain. I think I'll go say hi, and offer him a beer.

 

 

OK,, maybe not THE best , but one of my favorites

May lie a reason you were alive but you'll never know

I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words
Could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels


Between Hank Williams' pain songs
And Jerry Jeff's train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas there ain't nobody feelin' no pain


So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

‘Til Gabriel blows his horn

The call it paradise, I don't know why

Call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye.

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave.

Sun came up it was another day
And the sun went down you were blown away
Why'd you let go of your guitar
Why'd you ever let it go that far

St. Genevieve can hold back the water
Saints don't bother

Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care

Chuck Klosterman once argued that the coda (if that's the correct term) to "Rocket Queen" was the greatest 1:30 of rock and roll recorded in the 80's.

I can't argue.

I don't know if this counts, because they sing the chorus one more time after, but fuck it

God it's so painful 
Something that's so close 
And still so far out of reach

The glimmer of a few seconds light after an album of utter darkness is what gets me every time.

That moaning in the song - according to legend - Axl banged some chick in the studio and they mic'd it.

Yeah.  It's a total contrast to the hour of filth that precedes it (which of course culminates with the recording of Axl banging Steven Adler's old lady in the studio right before it).  It's also the prettiest melody Axl Rose ever wrote.

Yup.  Drummer's girlfriend.

Permissively?

Red white and blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past
So lift up your heart, make a new start
And lead us away from here

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

I could bury all the memories
I could patch up all the holes
But I'd still feel your fingers on my soul

From what I've read/heard, no.  At least on the drummer's part.  Allegedly, Adler (drummer) told the gal that she wasn't his GF, so she went down to the studio and fucked Axl, who had been wanting to record sex noises for the part anyhow.  Then he (Adler) got pissed after the fact.

Its Main Street after midnight just like it was before
21 months later at the local grocery store
Sherry buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer
The headlines read that Sonny is goin' to the chair
She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz
The road goes on forever and the party never ends

Was about to post this.

The whole town saw Jimmy on the six o’clock news
His brains were on the sidewalk and blood was on his shoes
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me

I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun

These ^^^ are pretty strong, don't tell bat Guano though.

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet (everyone you meet)
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away 

Well it took me years
To get those souvenirs
And I don't know how they slipped away from me

But only bones lie here entombed
My spirit flies as high as Old Glory waves
Remember all of us and the sacrifice we made
On the last Monday in May

 

So I'll make my stand

And remain as I am,

And bid farewell and not give a damn.

 

We're idiots, babe -

It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.

 

The crowd began to cheer.

He flew away.

Oh my Grace, I've got no hiding place.

And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls and whispered in the sounds of silence"

Doubling down from the other thread but why not...

In the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind
So Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

One that most people probably would never have heard of is a song by Barenaked Ladies called Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel.

The first verse is:

Driving home to be with you
The highway's divided, the city's in view
As usual I'm almost on time
You're the last thing that's on my mind

then the crash is described, then the last verse is:

In all the confusion there's something serene
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Now I'm floating above looking in
As the radio blares and wheels spin
I can see my face slumped with a grin
And you, you're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind.

I always loved how different the meaning of "you're the last thing on my mind" is in the two verses.

“Your soul have just been taken through the 36 chambers of death, kid / word to mother, Method Man signing off, peace” 

 

 

Have fun, but stay clear of the needle, call home on your sister's birthday
Don't tell them you're bigger than Jesus, don't give it away

Only got one thing in common
They got the fire down below

One..two..three

(classic guitar riff)

And I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead.

When I die I don't want no part of heaven/I would not do heaven's work well/I pray the devil comes to take me to stand inside fiery furnaces of hell

 

Close your eyes and remember this. It won't be back again, it's almost gone.
Even times that don't seem like much will be your only crutch when you're alone.
Time moves slow when you're seventeen and then it picks up steam at twenty-one.
Pretty soon you'll remember when you could remember when you loved someone

Looking good it's understood, flossing for my hood
Taking pride in my ride, like every playa should

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim

Let the truth of Love be lighted
Let the love of truth shine clear
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With the Heart and Mind united
In a single perfect sphere

You call that a scar
A bruise, a tear
Pillowmarks
Souvenirs

-Survivor Blues by Cory Branan.

Another great line from the song:  "I know a place on the way out of town, it's as good as burned down"

 

Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

-Here Comes a Regular by The Replacements
