bir bon jovi baladı... hüzünle karışık mutluluk...
sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano.
trying hard to capture the moment this morning i don't know.
'cause a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head.
and some blond gave me nightmares,
i think that she's still in my bed.
as i dream about movies they won't make of me when i'm dead.
with an ironclad fist i wake up and french kiss the morning.
while some marching band keeps its own beat in my head.
while we're talking about all of the things that i long to belive,
about love and the truth and what you mean to me.
and the truth is, baby, you're all that i need.
i want to lay you down on a bed of roses.
for tonite i sleep on a bed of nails.
i want to be just as close as the holy ghost is.
and lay you down on a bed of roses.
well i'm so far away,
that each step that i take is on way home.
a king's ransom in dimes i'd give each night
just to see through this payphone.
still i run out of time or it's hard to get through.
till the bird on the wire flies me back to you.
i'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true.
chorus
the hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry.
the barkeeper's wig's crooked.
and she's giving me the eye.
i might have send yeah,
but i laughed so hard i think i died.
when you close your eyes know i'll be thinking about you.
while my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again.
tonite i won't be alone but you know that don't mean i'm lonely.
i've got nothing to prove.
for it's you that i'd die to defend
hendrix'le aramızda özel bir $ifreli haberle$me sistemi geli$tirmemize neden olmu$, yapılan betimlemeleri kafanızın içine halisünasyon olarak sokabilecek sözlere sahip cinayet silahı.
hinder'in de ilk albümünde yorumladığı hoş bir bon jovi şarkısı. orijinal haliyle sevenler bi de cover haline şans versinler derim ben bi hinder sever olarak.
gitar solosu harika, bon jovi'den beklenmeyecek kadar iyi parça. en çok şu kısmı etkiler beni: "Still I run out of time, Or it's hard to get through.Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you I just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true."
bir de Michael Goldenberg'in türkçeye "tutku gülleri" diye çevrilen, 1996 yapımı "bed of roses" adlı bir filmi de vardır. hatta v for vendetta'da bu filmden çalıntı bir kaç küçük sahne vardır.
