(Searching for the right) MADAGASCAR lyrics

[LaXl]

I'm trying to locate the correct set of lyrics to Maddy, but am finding they have a few wrong lines in them.? Any help would be good...There must be a 'know it all' fan here somewhere who can help.? Please!!!!


Edited to change the title of the thread... Christos (AG)

The lyrics on this here today gone to hell are pretty accurate to me if you click on the releases link on the home page and then click on Chinese Democracy and of course click on Madagascar

[LaXl]

Thanks.  Going by this version you sent me to, I think these lines are werid...I'm not saying they are wrong, I'm just not convinced!

I searched and found the ways you used to lure me in

Free the ball and chain*

We end together, ooh oh / We held together

[Dont Try Me]

I won't be told anymore

That I've been brought down in this storm And left so far out from the shore That I can't find my way back My way anymore
No, I won't be told anymore That I've been brought down in this storm And left so far out from the shore That I can't find my way back My way anymore

No I...I

Forgive them that tear down my soul And bless them that they might grow old And free them so that they may know That it's never too late
Oh the many times What seem like a memory I've searched and found the ways you use to lure me in I've found the ways, oh why it had to be Mired in denial, and so afraid If we ever find it true That we had the strength to choose I'm free of all these chains We held together


(solo, quotes - read below -)

I won't be told anymore That I've been brought down in this storm And left so far out from the shore That I can't find my way back My way anymore
No, I won't be told anymore That I've been brought down in this storm And left so far out from the shore That I can't find my way back My way anymore

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes Below:

Stand up for righteousness! Stand up for justice! Stand up for truth! You got to call on that something That can make a way out of no way That power that can make a way out of now no way I tell ya I seen the lightning...I've heard the thunder roll! Sometimes... I feel discouraged Sometimes I feel discouraged He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone, no never alone, no never alone! Promised never to leave me! Never to leave me alone!

above from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Why Jesus Called A Man A Fool, (Delivered at Mount Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church, Chicago, Illinois, on 27 August 1967)

Black men and white men Together at the table of brotherhood! I have a dream Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty!! WE ARE FREE AT LAST!!

above quotes from: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I Have A Dream, (Delivered as the keynote speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on 28 August 1963; written by Julian Bond)

Thank you!!!!

[elevendayempire]

I maintain it's "Freed of all the chains". If you listen to the backing vocals reprise of the phrase at the end of the song, that sounds like what they're singing.

SG

[LaXl]

I'll have another listen to that bit.  Thanks for all your help!

[jarmo]

I don't know if this applies to the song in question, but sometimes Axl changes the lyrics to the songs or just sings the "wrong" word.

It might be a good idea if you all listened to the same version from the same show.

I'm going by the Cleveland '02 performance.   Though I've been listening to the MTV (at least the half that I have)  Leeds '02 and Rio etc.   

They're all the tits, but the Cleveland one does it for me cos the performance seems better and I think Axl's singing is much better on this one - more confident and in tune...

[Sino-lieS]

Damn!, I never really realized how deep those lyrics are. I always sing along to it, but when you actually read the lines its pretty deep.

[LaXl]

It's a special song to me, I think many probably feel the same...

[F*ck Fear]

Go by the Boston 2002 soundboard version.....It's the clearest listening IMO.

[LaXl]

I'm probably being an arse, but can you send me a link to that please?

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

It's a special song to me, I think many probably feel the same...

its a special song for Mr. Rose.. each and every line in that song reflects something in his life..

[Eugene Klein]

Go by the Boston 2002 soundboard version.....It's the clearest listening IMO.

Yeah that's the best one.

[ClintroN]

a freind of mine told me to have the Marten Luther K. quotes doesnt come cheap at all, costs fuckin' heeps!!

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I have heard axl sing Im freed of all these chains we held together
Im free of the chains
and he also sings I freed the ball and chain we held together

[LaXl]

"its a special song for Mr. Rose.. each and every line in that song reflects something in his life.." 

I think that pretty much goes for all the lyrics Axl has written...He writes from the heart, where as most bands today write miserable/angry lyrics because in's considered cool - that's why many bands don't pull it off, they're writing those lyrics for the wrong reasons.   

[SON OF A PREACHER]

Wouldn't it be cool if GNR gave their song for this movie' soundtrack?
