There have been lyrics circulating on GN'R forums for a few songs, mainly Prostitute, with the chorus "Drain me, baby, drain me." Someone on MYGNR said he heard the band rehearsing this song today outside The Joint and that he heard the lyrics "Train me, baby, train me." Well it turns out the lyrics are fake and the guy who wrote them came forward. Just wanted to let all of you who may think they're real know what's going on! They're fake, and this proves it.
http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=79219Okay, I read the "New song rumored to be played" tonight thread and would like you all to know it's total BS. Yorch said he heard "Train me, baby, train me" - these sound awfully similar to those rumored lyrics to Prostitute which go "Drain me, baby, drain me."
But they're fake. How do I know? Because I wrote those lyrics as a joke between a few other people. I have proof that I wrote them, too, so PM me if you want details (I'd rather not post links here etc.). I never wanted people to think they were real, it was just a joke, but people actually started posting them places, and evidently some people thought they were real for whatever reason.
But they're not real, and if he really DID hear a song with those lyrics, then I must have psychically read Axl's mind and written the exact same lyrics as the real song. But, as far as I know, I just pulled them out of my ass.
Anyway...just wanted to say that so people don't get high expectations tonight. Enjoy the show! smile.gif
By the way, for future reference, so rumors don't get started again, ALL THE FOLLOWING ARE FAKE LYRICS. I wrote them, once again, as a joke, and posted them to a forum, and some people thought it would be funny to spread them places.
PROSTITUTE
You know
Oh, you know it's true
Sitting on the curb
Talking to himself
The beggar is ignored,
And he turns to ask once more for help
But by his luck he is abhorred
The people look away,
And he remembers the advice his father gave him
The advice that he threw away
He took no heed to live by it,
And he ruined everyone he knew
He left at sixteen to find his way
But the narrow path was left unpaved
Ooooh
Oh yeah
He never wanted this to happen
This tragedy unknown,
A mistake for all involved
That's burned right past his soul.
You know he never saw you comin', babe
Never saw you start the game, initiate the shame
and bask in the accaim,
Just like you always do
Because you're a prostitute
Look up to the skies
From down in the gutter,
This life of mine has become
So hard for me to muster
And can I do this anymore
And do I have what it takes
To make a difference baby
When my intentions seem to stray
Stuck in a hell
I know that I'm not well
And my friends all said I was cold
But I ignored what I was told,
And now
Now I can't find my way out
No, I can't find my way out
Not anymore
You found me on the street
You took me into your home
You gave to me what I never had,
What I could never even afford
And neither of us can pretend
That we had it all together babe
But in my heart I knew,
I knew it all along -
As long as I'd live to see another day
I'd never live to see you fall
With all the strength that I could muster
All the power I could afford
I lent a hand to you my love
To help you through the fall -
But then you turned and vanished babe,
Yeah you vanished as you had before
And it would take far too long
To go back to that time in my life
When I thought I knew it all
When I thought we'd be together babe
But now I know it's true
Yeah
No one understands the truth,
No not anymore
You've distorted it all.
And this I know is true, my friend
This I know for sure
You, you are a prostitute
Drain me, baby
Drain me, baby
Drain my soul
Drain me, baby
Drain me, baby
Be a prostitute
Drain me
Drain me
Like you've always done before
But I'll still be here waiting
For when you hit the curb
Back where the homeless man sits
Talkin' to himself
For that man I knew before
Deep down inside, we know it's true
That man was once a form of me
That I have since refused.
LEAVE ME ALONE
Bitter cynics,
Caustic critics
Tell me I write twisted lyrics.
"He's lost his way," is what they say
The "genius" of my past scribes fails to pay
For the expensive costs of this delay.
They say that this is just a mimic
of the success I used to free from limit
But I guess they just don't see it
The way I do.
The way I do.
I'm getting tired of their attitudes
Their grating slamming of my tunes
They don't even know half the truth
And yet they all seem to think they're sleuths
Why can't they just leave me alone?
It..'s not like I asked for this,
It..'s not like I even wanted this
So leave me,
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Why can't they just leave me alone?
Someday soon they all will see
Their belaboring just don't stay
With me when I start writing again
Again
I take no heed of their need
To damage my creed
Destroy my reputation amongst the fans,
Because I know inside
That some day soon
Everything will turn for good.
Yeah, I'm getting tired of their attitudes
Their annoying little games they pull
The dodge-'em, miss-'em publicity charade.
So that they can take my photo today.
Yeah, why can't they just leave me alone?
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Why can't they just leave me alone?
I didn't ask for this,
I didn't ask for this.
Leave me alone.
THIS I LOVE
There is still a life outside
For me, after all this time
But can I manage to provide
A way back even if I try
I sit inside, alone
Thinking of the words you spoke
And suddenly after all this time, I
Find it kinda hard to try to
Just pretend you don't exist at all
Except for in my mind, anymore.
You tell me not to focus on the pain
They say that it will cause me strain
But I've been gone much too long
To turn back to the start at this time
With this broken heart of mine,
Splintered, bruised and swelling blue
Did you ever wonder if I knew?
I can't think of anything else but you
And this,
This I know
Is true
I can't stop thinking of you
For what you..'ve become
This thing you are
This,
This I love
And I may have been young at heart
But now I feel that I'm falling apart
And the only way out is through you,
Is through you
What, baby, do you know
What did you tell me on the telephone?
Those words left me so alone
Abused and so cold
You told me not to intervene
But here I am and it's happening
Yet again I find you back in my sight.
You ignore my midnight calls
The writing on your bathroom walls
You leave me nasty messages
Threatening me with presages
While other men, they come and go
And leave you walking on your own
Again.
I've tried to help you so many times
I've tried to help you late at night
I've been there on your steps, and cried
As I've seen you throw away your life
And though I know I shouldn't care,
Or lay my feelings out so bare
When you left me, you left me unprepared.
This I know
This I know is true
For me and you
Whatever you've become
This I love
I can't explain why, I couldn't if I even tried
Oh this is true
This I love
This is what I love
So deep from in the great unknown
This empty thing I call my soul
It pines for you
Because what you've become
This creature you are
Is what I love
This,
This monstrosity
This, this atrocity
Oh, the humanity
This,
This I love
