TWAT Lyrics

[Jonathan]

Thanks a lot!!!

[Evolution]

Excellent job all 

[DunkinDave]

Broken glass and cigarettes, writing on the wall
It was a bargain for the summer, and I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everything, the one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anything, the one who can't recall

Where she woke while she was sleeping in another woman's bed
All the doctors, all the lawyers call the stranger that she met
If there's nothing I can gain from this, or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me when I thought I'd heard it all

It was a long time for you, it was a long time for me
It'd be a long time for anyone but, looks like it's meant to be

Social class, it registers cocaine in the hall
All the way from California, on the way beyond that stall
To those malnegotiations, to simulate a call
While the battle of medievals, 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 isn't here
If there's something I can make of this, or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser, and you thought you had it all

It was the wrong time for you, it was the wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for everyone but, looks like I've got to see for myself

If I could go back in time to the place in my soul, there all alone
Lonely teardrops are calling you, but I don't want to know you now
Cause knowing you, it won't change a damn thing
But there was a time...

There was a time, to want to know it all, to want to know it all, and I don't want to know it now
There was a time, to want to know it all, to want to know it all, and I don't want to know it now

I would have done everything for you, there was a time...
I would do everything for you
I would do anything for you, there was a time...

There was a time...I would do anything for you

There was a time, to want to know it all, to want to know it all, and I don't want to know it now

To want to know it all, to want to know it all, and I don't want to know it now

You know, there was a time

[HoldenCaulfield]

Brilliant song...

Guns N' Roses - There Was a Time

Broken glass and cigarettes,
writing on the wall,
it was a bargain for the summer,
and I thought I had it all.
I was the one who gave you everything,
the one who took the fall,
you were the one who would do anything,
the one who can't recall.

Wish it was while she was sleeping,
in another woman's bed,
or the darkness or the lawyers,
or a stranger that she met.
If there's one thing I can gain from this,
or anything at all,
it'd be the knowledge that ya gave me,
when I thought I'd heard it all.

It was a long time with you,
it was a long time with me,
it'd be a long time for anyone,
but looks like it's meant to be.

Social class and registers,
cocaine in the hall,
all the way from California,
on the way beyond that stall.
to those non-negotiations,
(to sing it in a call)
all the bad of learning evils and
your ways around the laws
that keep you up and sitting pretty,
on a pedestal of (men)
and now you're sleeping like an angel,
nevermind (who we get in)

If there's something I can make of this,
or anything at all,
it'd be the devil hates a loser and
you thought you had it all.

It was a wrong time for you,
it was a wrong time for me,
it was the wrong time for everyone
but looks like I'm about to see for myself.

If I could go back in time to the place
in my soul, there all alone,
lonely tear drops,
ooh (who?), are calling you.
but I don't wanna know it now,
'cause knowing you won't change a damn thing.
but there was a time.

(Solo)

yeah, there was a time,
didn't wanna know it all,
didn't wanna know it all and
I don't wanna know it now,

yeah, there was a time,
didn't wanna know it all,
didn't wanna know it all and
I don't wanna know it now,

(Solo)

Oh, I would do anything for you,
there was a time,
I would do anything for you,
oh, I would do anything for you,
there was a time.

(Solo)

There was a time,
I would do anything for you,
yeah there was a time,
didn't wanna know it all,
didn't wanna know it all,
and I don't wanna know it now,
didn't wanna know it all,
didn't wanna know it all,
and I don't wanna know it now,
(to this love?)
there was a time...

[Nytunz]

hidden track somewhere?

[dangnr]

its kinda surreal listening to these tunes. TWAT is good, I dont think its one of the big guns though!!, defetnly doesent sound like anything thats on the charts now, which is a good thing.
Awsome job on pickin the lyrics out guys!!!

[The Dog]

Anyone?

[Scree]

Main set lifted from ItsRDC. Changes made in notepad. The other lyrics where posted after I started with the headphones but there are some I disagree with. This does not mean I think thiers are wrong, simply what I hear. Here's my take on it. Please keep this up guys, we'll get 'em cracked in no time if we work together 

Broken glass and cigarettes
writing on the wall
it was a bargain for the summer
and i thought i had it all
i was the one who gave u everything
the one who took the fall
you were the one who would do anything
one who cant recall
Where she was while she was sleeping in anothers womens bed
or the doctors or the lawyers or the stranger that she met
if theres nothing that i can gain from this or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me when I thought I'd heard it all

it was a long time for u
it was a long time for me
it'd be a long time for everyone but looks like its meant to be

Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way beyond that stall
To those malnegotiations, to simulate a call
While the battle of medievals, and your ways around the laws
That'd keep you up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal of fear
And now you're sleeping like an angel
near than man who ?reekerd? it
If there's something I can make of this
Or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all

It was the wrong time for you
It was the wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for everyone
But it looks like I'm 'bout to see for myself

If I could go back in the time to the place in my soul
There all alone, lonely tear drops
Ooh, oh calling you
But I don't want to know it now
Cuz knowing you it won't change a damn thing

But there was a time

[solo]

There was a time
Didn't want to know at all
Didn't want to know at all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

Yeah, There was a time
Didn't want to know at all
Didn't want to know at all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

I would do anything for you
There was a time

I would do anything for you
There was a time

I would do anything for you
There was a time

[solo]

There was a time
I would do anything for you

There was a time
Didn't want to know at all
Didn't want to know at all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

There was a time
Didn't want to know at all
Didn't want to know at all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

There was a time
Didn't want to know at all
Didn't want to know at all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

[younggunner]

I always thought the piano melody that Axl played during the 2002 was in fact TWAT. I can fit the words There was a Time in the meter of that melody.

I said the smae thing back in 02...this song is killer

[strohs]

here is what i have just first verse, ill get the rest later unless someone has posted it

broken mashed cigarettes
writing on the wall
it was a bargain for the summer
and i thought i had it all
i was the one who gave you everything
the one who too the fall
you were the one who would do anything
the one who can't recall
.....sleeping in another womens bed
all the darkness all the lawyers all the stranger you met
if there's nothing i can gain from this
anything at all
it would be the light that you gave when i thought i had it all


it was a long time for you
it was a long time for me
a long time for everyone
it looks like it was meant to be


how does it look so far?

[KillYourIdols]

broken glass and cigarettes

[oneway23]

Nice crack at the lyrics!  I was hoping that they'd add that extra dimension to the song, and I think it's a really beautiful piece

[horsey]

anything with this name has to be awesome.

[Jizzo]

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

[Jizzo]

the complexity of the lyrics give me a renewed faith in axl's talent

[Origen]

TWAT
The Blues

All the lyrics seemed to be based on his pass, or people he knew.

Twat (There Was A Time)

Broken glass and cigarettes
Writing on the wall
It was a bargain for the summer
And I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everything
The one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anything
One who can?t recall
Where she was while she was sleeping
In another?s women?s bed
Or the doctors or the lawyers or the stranger that she met
If there?s nothing that I can gain from this
Or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me when I thought I'd heard it all

It was a long time for you
It was a long time for me
It?d be a long time for everyone but looks like its meant to be

Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way beyond that stall
To those malnegotiations, to simulate a call
While the battle of medieval, and your ways around the laws
That'd keep you up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal of fear
And now you're sleeping like an angel
Near than man who reaped It
If there's something I can make of this
Or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all

It was the wrong time for you
It was the wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for everyone
But it looks like I'm 'bout to see for myself

If I could go back in time to the place in my soul
They?re all alone, lonely teardrops
Ooh, oh calling you
But I don't want to know it now
Cuz knowing you it won't change a damn thing

But there was a time

[solo]

There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

Yeah, There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

I would do anything for you
There was a time

I would do anything for you
There was a time

I would do anything for you
There was a time

[solo]

There was a time
I would do anything for you

There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
