Guns N' Roses – Prostitute Lyrics

16 years ago

I believe the "Prostitute" portion refers to Axl not wanting to prostitute himself to the music industry, just to crank out another album (i.e. Chinese Democracy). I imagine he's been under significant pressure from both execs and loved ones to release the album over the past 16 years, but felt he'd just be prostituting himself for "fortune", while living with the "shame" of releasing art he didn't feel was ready to be released... That was my gut feeling when I heard it the first couple times.

Velvet Revolver – Messages Lyrics	18 years ago
This song was written about 9/11. Song is written from the perspective of people on the highjacked planes, who leave messages for their families on the phone before the planes crashed into the WTCs and Pentagon. Quite a great and sad song...

Velvet Revolver – Pills, Demons, Etc. Lyrics	18 years ago
...and while we're at it, is it "Throw yourself right through it" or "Though you sail right through it"? And I thought it was "You've got your demons and your ways of life"...but now I hear it both ways. Dammit.

Velvet Revolver – Can't Get It Out Of My Head Lyrics	18 years ago
Charlie: a couple of lines are different and have been changed completely, but otherwise they're spot-on. I looked it up because I couldn't decipher the "Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe..." line for shit...

Velvet Revolver – Mary Mary Lyrics	18 years ago
In other news, the song is obviously about his wife, model Mary Forsberg. I guess she was on Scott's mind when he wrote this one! ;-)
