Welcome to the jungle We got fun and games We got everything you want Honey, we know the names We are the people that can find Whatever you may need If you got the money, honey We got your disease In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees Oh, I wanna watch you bleed Welcome to the jungle We take it day by day If you want it, you're gonna bleed But it's the price you pay And you're a very sexy girl That's very hard to please You can taste the bright lights But you won't get there for free In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Feel my, my, my, my serpentine I, I wanna hear you scream Welcome to the jungle It gets worse here everyday You learn to live like an animal In the jungle where we play If you got a hunger for what you see You'll take it eventually You can have anything you want But you better not take it from me In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees Oh, I wanna watch you bleed And when you're high, you never Ever want to come down So down, so down, so down, yeah You know where you are?

She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything was as fresh As the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stare too long I'd probably break down and cry Oh, oh! Sweet child o' mine Oh, oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder and the rain To quietly pass me by Oh, oh! Sweet child o' mine Oh, oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine Oh, oh, oh, oh! Sweet child o' mine Ooh, yeah, eh Ooh! Sweet love of mine Where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go now? Where do we go? (sweet child o' mine) Where do we go now? Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go? Where do we go now? Now, now, now, now, now, now, now? Sweet child Sweet child o' mine - Patience
Letra
One, two, one, two, three, four Shed a tear cause I'm missing 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 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 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 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 shining bright You and I've got what it takes to make it We won't fake it I'll never break it 'Cause I can't take it Little patience Need a little patience Just a little patience Some more patience I've been walking the streets at night Just trying to get it right (need some patience) It's hard to see with so many around You know, I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience) And the streets don't change but, baby, the names I ain't got time for the game (Gotta have some patience) 'Cause I need you But I need you (all it takes is patience) I need you (just a little patience) I need you (is all you need) This time - Paradise City

Letra
(What we've got here is failure to communicate Some men you just can't reach So you get what we had here last week Which is the way he wants it, well, he gets it I don't like it any more than you, men) Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before 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 My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands, time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars Did you wear a black armband When they shot the man Who said peace could last forever? And in my first memories They shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom When it's not in your hands When everybody's fighting For their promised land And I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor You're power hungry, sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no Look at the shoes you're filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't wanna hear no more My hands are tied For all I've seen has changed my mind Still the wars go on as the years go by With no love of God or human rights 'Cause all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide And history bears the scars of our civil wars (We practice selective annihilation Of mayors and government officials For example, to create a vacuum Then we fill that vacuum As popular war advances, peace is closer) I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor You're power hungry, sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh? And I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war You're power hungry, sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh no, oh no I don't need one more war I don't need one more war No, no, no, no, oh no, oh no What's so civil about war, anyway? - You Could Be Mine
Letra
I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit ta burn And I'll rip your heart in two And I'll leave you lying on the bed I'll be out the door before ya wake It's nothing new to you 'Cause I think we've seen that movie too 'Cause you could be mine But you're way out of line With your bitch slap rapping And your cocaine tongue You get nothing done I said you could be mine Now holidays come and then they go It's nothing new today Collect another memory When I come home late at night Don't ask me where I've been Just count your stars I'm home again 'Cause you could be mine But you're way out of line With your bitch slap rapping And your cocaine tongue You get nothing done I said you could be mine You could be mine You could be mine You could be mine You could be mine You could be mine You've gone sketching too many times Why don't ya give it a rest Why must you find Another reason to cry While you're breaking down my back I been rackin' out my brain It don't matter how we make it 'Cause it always ends the same You can push it for more mileage But your flaps are wearing thin And I could sleep on it 'til morning But this nightmare never ends Don't forget to call my lawyers With ridiculous demands An you can take the pity so far But it's more than I can stand 'Cause this couchtrip's getting older Tell me how long has it been 'Cause five years is forever And you haven't grown up yet You could be mine, but you're way out of line With your bitch slap rapping And your cocaine tongue you get nothing done I said you could be, you should be You could be mine You could be mine (you could be mine) You could be mine (you could be mine) You could be mine (you could be mine) You could be mine (you could be mine) Yeah! - Don't Cry Original
Letra
Talk to me softly There's something in your eyes Don't hang your head in sorrow And, please, don't cry I know how you feel inside I've been there before Something is changing inside you And don't you know Don't you cry tonight I still love you, baby Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you, baby And don't you cry tonight Give me a whisper And give me a sign Give me a kiss before You tell me goodbye Don't you take it so hard now And, please, don't take it so bad I'll still be thinking of you And the times we had, baby Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you, baby And don't you cry tonight And, please, remember That I never lied And, please, remember How I felt inside now, honey You gotta make it your own way But you'll be alright now, sugar You'll feel better tomorrow Come the morning light now, baby Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you, baby Don't you cry, don't you ever cry Don't you cry tonight Baby, maybe someday Don't you cry, don't you ever cry Don't you cry tonight - November Rain
Letra
When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But, darlin', when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same? 'Cause nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this such a long, long time Just tryin' to kill the pain, oh, yeah But lovers always come and lovers always go And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time To lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So, if you want to love me Then, darlin', don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain Do you need some time on your own? Do you need some time all alone? Everybody needs some time on their own Don't you know you need some time All alone? I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem all to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you? Sometimes I need some time on my own Sometimes I need some time all alone Oh, everybody needs some time on their own Oh, don't you know you need some time all alone? 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 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody - Live And Let Die
Letra
When you were young and your heart was an open book You used to say: Live and let live (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever changing world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry Say: Live and let die Live and let die What does it matter to ya? When ya got a job to do Ya got to do it well You got to give the other fella a hell You used to say: Live and let live (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever changing world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry Say: Live and let die Live and let die - Yesterdays
Letra
Yesterday, there was so many things I was never told Now that I startin' to learn I feel I'm growin' old 'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me Old pictures that I'll always see Time just fades the pages In my book of memories Prayers in my pocket And no hand in destiny I'll keep on movin' along With no time to plant my feet 'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me Old pictures that I'll always see Some things could be better If we'd all just let them be Yesterday's got nothin' for me Yesterday's got nothin' for me Got nothin' for me Yesterday there were so many things I was never shown Suddenly this time I found I'm on the streets and I'm all alone Yesterday's got nothin' for me Old pictures that I'll always see I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties Yesterday's got nothin' for me Yesterday's got nothin' for me Yesterday's got nothin' for me Yesterday - Ain't It Fun
Letra
Ain't it fun when you're always on the run Ain't it fun when your friends Despise what you've become Ain't it fun when you get so high Well...that you just can't come Ain't it fun when you know That you gonna die young It's such fun Ain't it fun when you taking care of number one Ain't it fun when you feel like You just gotta get a gun Ain't it fun when you just Can't seem to find your tounge Cause you stuck it too deep Into something that really stung It's such fun Well, so you come up to me And spit right in my face I didn't even feel it It was such a disgrace I punched my fist right through the glass I didn't even feel it It happened so fast It's such fun Ain't it fun when you tell her She's just a cunt Ain't it fun when you She splits you and leaves you on the run Well, ain't it fun when you broken up Every band that you ever begun Ain't it fun when you know That you're gonna die young It's such fun - Since I Don't Have You

Letra
Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year Stole many a man's soul and faith And I was 'round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game I stuck around St. Petersberg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the Czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank Held a general's rank When the Blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah What's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the Gods they made I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?" When after all It was you and me So let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadors Who get killed before they reached Bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politics Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, um yeah But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, um baby, get down Woo, who Oh yeah, get on down Oh yeah Oh yeah!
