Rose Lyrics
It ain't so long ago since we were just two kids
Remember well memories we all hid
But you're much older now, although you still are young
I know you well, I'm like you
Hey Rose, you're finer than you know
Why hang around with clothes of another name
Hair so dyed she lost too much inside
Ain't nothing left to hide in the game
Hey Rose, how do you laugh in your own show
Try to fight the fears that rise within
Rock 'n' roll slag, oh my, you're such a drag
Trying to find the corner to inject
Hey Rose, so silently she goes
Careful not to make up, see your maker
Hey Rose, how do you laugh when she's on show
Try to fight the fears that rise within
Hey, rock 'n' roll slag, oh oh, you're such a drag
Trying to find the corner to inject
Hey Rose, you're finer than you know
And I hate to see you cold on a summer day
Remember well memories we all hid
But you're much older now, although you still are young
I know you well, I'm like you
Why hang around with clothes of another name
Hair so dyed she lost too much inside
Ain't nothing left to hide in the game
Try to fight the fears that rise within
Rock 'n' roll slag, oh my, you're such a drag
Trying to find the corner to inject
Careful not to make up, see your maker
Hey Rose, how do you laugh when she's on show
Try to fight the fears that rise within
Trying to find the corner to inject
Hey Rose, you're finer than you know
And I hate to see you cold on a summer day

I used to have this album when I was young and struggling with my addictions. My view is it is the fading of life and joy through the overindulgence of a life of partying,etc. I always thought the last line “hate to see you cold on a summer day” meant she had actually died. Whatever it’s saying, there is real sadness to it.
