Title: Replacements-Song Dedication to Mr. Rose Post by: Ron Jones on December 21, 2006, 12:38:20 AM I know this threat probably won't last but I thought this was pretty cool. There is a song that I love by The Replacements and for those of you that don't know it's Tommy's old band. Well if you change every she in this song to he this song could easily be dedicated to Axl, not literally of course but use your imagination. The last two lines remind me of Axl saying he can't take a cab without someone recognizing him think about it.
Well she's kind of like an artist Sittin' on the floor Never finishes, she abandons Never shows a soul And she's kind of like a movie Everyone rushes to see And no one understands it Sittin' in their seats She opens her mouth to speak and What comes out's a mystery Thought about, not understood She's achin' to be Well she dances alone in nightclubs Every other day of the week People look right through her Baby doll, check your cheek And she's kind of like a poet Who finds it hard to speak Poems come so slowly Like the colors down a sheet She opens her mouth to speak and What comes out's a mystery Thought about, not understood She's achin' to be I've been achin' for a while now, friend I've been achin' hard for years Well she's kind of like an artist Who uses paints no more You never show me what you're doing Never show a soul Well, I saw one of your pictures There was nothin' that I could see If no one's on your canvas Well, I'm achin' to be She closes her mouth to speak and Closes her eyes to see Thought about an' only loved She's achin' to be Just like me Title: Re: Replacements-Song Dedication to Mr. Rose Post by: CheapJon on December 21, 2006, 11:05:43 AM axl doesn't dance alone in nightclubs :hihi:

How about a song Tommy wrote while in GnR? I always thought some parts of "Someday" were referencing his time in GnR. I could be totally off the mark though. You've got a close eye on the world outside From the inside of your cage You're staring through the cracks in the drapes for a key With a midget on your back goin blind and mean How much could you ask for How much would you ask for Something of use will come Of these worn out shoes Something of use will come Of these painful dues The bastard's wearing the dresses now He bitches no one calls him by his name My baby she's got the blues Another rapist grows into his running shoes How much could you ask for How much would you ask for Dear god can't you just leave me alone Said the martyr to the thief There's not enough room in this reflection for two And now one of us is gonna have to leave in peace Someday something of use will come Of these dried up tears Something of use will come Of the blood and the blues if we waste another year It's always someday You lift yourself from the gutter to the grave They'll fax you your last rights Well maybe I said everything is all right Well they're just not unbearable Yet how much would you Ask for how much could you ask for Someday something of use will come Of these lives that we choose Someday something of use will come Of the blood and the blues of this wasted youth Something of use will come.
