Its NOT fear, Axl is obviously singing about court and law battles here and the fact that his BITCH was sitting PRETTY ON A PEDESTAL OF MEN.
I think he is trying to say that she uses men and now she is sitting pretty.

Ok...well i think no-one knows the offical lyrics but Axl but given we're all talking about it, here is what my ears hear when i play the song, but bear in mind i have a dirty mind, too much wiskey, and i've blown my ears out with guitar!
I've put in bold my take on the bits we all argue over!
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 was while
he
was sleeping,
in another woman's bed,
or the doctors or the lawyers,
or the stranger that she met.
If there's nothing 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 to your next call
to those non-negotiations
to simulate a cause
for the betterment of evils and
your ways around the laws
that keep you up and sitting pretty,
on a pedestal up there
and now you're sleeping like an angel,
nevermind who you gave head
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'd heard it all.
---
and i think everyone agress on the other parts from there on, so i wont write it all out, anyway .love to hear if you all think i'm crazy!

Its not men it doesnt even sound like men it sounds like fear or maybe there.
So it could be "pedisital up there"
But the word has a EAR sound not EN.
I just listened again and it is
sittin on a pedistal up there

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 he 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 it?s meant to be
Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way to your next call
To those non-negotiations, to simulate a call
For the betterment of evils, and your ways around the laws
That'd keep you up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal up there
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
(YEP)
If I could go back inside to the place in my soul
They?re all alone, lonely teardrops
Ooh, are 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
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

It sounds like men to me. Fear doesn't make too much sense. There makes sense. I guess we will never for sure until we get the album booklet. Gorgeous song no matter what. We are all kind of nitpicking it a bit now. I cant wait for the fully mixed version because the ochestra in the background sounds so amazing. I hope they bring it up louder in the finished mix

Maybe someone should run a poll for each disputed line
I really do not hear "men", I think it is "of fear" or "up there".
I don't hear "reaped it in" (nor have I heard ANYONE ever use that phrase... not that Axl Rose hasn't invented some great phrases in the past). Same goes for "who you gave head"; I don't hear it and it is ackwardly phrased.
I think it is "weakened it" (the pedastal) or "reeked of it" (fear).

its a pedestal of FEAR. there is no EN sound, its clearly an EAR sound. besides, pedestal of men would just sound retarded. "up and sitting pretty on a pedestal of fear" is an awesome line.

writing on the wall
it was a bargain for the summer

cocaine in the hall
all the way from california
on the way to your next stall
to those non-negotiations
to simulate 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 fear
and now you're sleeping like an angel
near the man who you gave head
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

Nah, 'glass' is right.
Also that "near the man who you gave head" is, well, stupid. It's not an Axl type of line at all, especially in a song like this. And there's definately an 'r'-sound in that line. It's not "reaped it in", either, but that sounds a lot closer. And no, I don't know what that line is, but I guess we'll find out during the next six months or so. I promise to pick up the tab for making of Chinese Democracy if it really is something as juvenile as giving head. I hope Axl doesn't read this and change the line...

yeah, ya had me before the "gave head" line. I'd bet my left nad that's not it. It's such a beautiful song, and as the story moves along, that just doesn't fit. If she's in bed with these people, head aint all that's goin' on.
Did I mention how amazing this song is? Oh yeah, about a hundred times.
