My two picks were Run to the hills by Iron Maiden or TWAT. well i picked TWAT but the thing is i know its a great song but what does it mean specifically? is it about a break up, relationship on the rocks, what is it specifically?

there's the lyrics, try to find out by yourself what you think it's about.. i think it would be better if you wrote an essay with your own opinions

its not an essay its a paper on what the song is about. More or less i'm trying to depict the lyrics, break it down to say what its about.

but gee thanks for your help jon ::)

you're welcome :D

lol smart ass

I'm glad Jon said it first. I didn't want to get all teacherish with you and tell you that you write better when you can write about what you know.......

BUT I DON"T KNOW

thats why i asked. To me TWAT could be about anything from a bad break up to some one having a large fortune and then loosing it all. ALL i wanted to know is if any of you knew or had any of thoughts about its meaning.




oh fuck it i'll just do Iron Maiden. THATS a song that i know what it means
::)

Gald we could help!  ;D

actually you really didn't help at all

but thats ok i'll just wait for the album to come out and then watch Axl being interviewed and him telling everyone what TWAT is really about. But by that time i won't need to know and i'll be out of school by about 10 years ::)

Good luck on the assignment. I would have chose "War Pigs"- Black Sabbath or "Black Rain"- Ozzy. Sorry I couldn't help.

ohh shit i didn't think about Black Sabbath

well at my school the teachers try to follow the students in there poser wayz so if i ever have to write a poem i copy something from either Sabbath of G'n'R. Last year for a poem i just copied the lyrics from the beginning of Dead Horse
"sick of this life
not that you care
i'm not the only one
with whom these feelin's i share......"

the bitch was non the wiser :yes:

:peace:

when we are supposed to write poems in school i always ALWAYS steal some lines from skid rows i remember you :hihi:

:rofl:

i bet you get the girls going awwww when you do that huh?

lol

Those lyrics are way wrong and look like the generally assumed lyrics of the first two TWAT leaks. After the latest leak, which I can neither confirm nor deny hearing, the lyrics are pretty obvious and not really as up for debate. Of course, I'm sure the "official" stance is those lyrics are the best we can do off the live versions being the only things we've heard. Me thinks this thread is asking for trouble.

Those lyrics look alright to me...

With a few exceptions.

Main problems are in the second verse (of course). Am I allowed to post revised lyrics?

EDIT: Fuck it.

Verse 2

Social classed and registered
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way to your next call
To those non-negotiations
To simulate a cause
Of all the bad of learning evils
And your ways around the laws
That keep you up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal of fear
And now you're sleeping like an angel
Near the man who you gave head

Debate me 'til you're blue in the face. I'm ready :hihi:

Jarmo has a page on this site with the lyrics to some of the new songs.

Yeah, right... :hihi:

I still think that they're alright, but as I said:

With a few exceptions.

i was going to debate you but then i listened to verse 2 and came to the conclusion that, your right : ok:

Yes! I win :beer:

The last line is blatently not Near the man who you gave head  :hihi:

Sounds like near the man who's looking in to me, I don't think it's exactly that but I don't think I'm far off.
