Rock and roll used to be for kicks, now a days it's politics. |
Rolling Stone magazine would not say anything positive about me, and they were the tastemakers at the time. There were people from the old guard who insisted I wasn't a real rock and roller. Well, O.K., fine -- I'm not a real rock and roller. You got me. |
Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems |
Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know Black and white is how it should be But shades of grey are the colors I see. |
She can kill with a smile, She can wound with her eyes. |
She will promise you more Than the Garden of Eden Then she'll carelessly cut you And laugh while you're bleeding. |
She's got a smile that heals me I don't know why it is But I have to laugh when she reveals me. |
She's got a way about her... I don't know what it is... but I know that I can't live without her... |
Singles don't represent me. Albums do. |
Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be Before your time. |
Slow down, you crazy child. You're so ambitious for a juvenile. |
Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood But I'm talking a Greyhound On the Hudson River Line I'm in a New York state of mind. |
Some people sleep all alone every night Instead of taking a lover to bed Some people find that it's easier to hate Than to wait anymore. |
The good days weren't really so good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems. |
The happiest times in my life were when my relationships were going well -- when I was in love with someone, and someone was loving me. But in my whole life, I haven't met the person I can sustain a relationship with yet. So I'm discontented about that. I'm angry with myself. I have regrets. |
