BED OF ROSES  (BON JOVI)
	Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
	Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I donīt know
	īCause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
	And some blond have me nightmares, 
	I think that sheīs still in my bed
	As I dream about movies they wonīt make of me when Iīm dead
	With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning
	While some marching band beats its own beat in my head
	While weīre talking about all of the things that I long 
	to believe, about love and the truth and what you mean to me
	And the truth is baby youīre 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...
	...Well Iīm so far away that each step that I take 
	is on my way home. A kingīs ransom in dimes Iīd give each night
	Just to see through this payphone
	Still I run out of time or itīs hard to get through
	Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you	
	Iīll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true
	The hotel bar hangover whiskeyīs gone dry
	The barkeeperīs wigīs crooked and sheīs giving me the eye
	I might have said yeah but I laughed so hard I think I died
	When you close your eyes know Iīll be thinking about you
	While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
	Tonite I wonīt be alone but you know that donīt 
	Mean Iīm not lonely Iīve got nothing to prove
	For itīs you that Iīd die to defend...

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN  (BON JOVI)
	I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too.
	I told the angels they could sing 
	their songs to someone new
	I lost all trust in my friends, 
	I watched my heart turn to stone
	I thought that I was left 
	to walk this wicked world alone
	Tonight Iīll dust myself off...Iīll suck my gut in
	Iīll face the night and Iīll pretend 
	I got something to believe in
	And I had lost touch with reason 
	I watched life criticize the truth
	Been waiting for a miracle I know you have too
	Though I know I wonīt win 
	Iīll take this one on the chin
	Weīll raise a toast...
	...If I donīt believe in Jesus, 
	how can I believe the Pope?
	If I donīt believe in heroin, 
	how can I believe in dope?
	If thereīs nothing but survival, 
	how can I believe in sin?
	In a world that gives you nothing 
	we need something to believe in...

BLAZE OF GLORY (BON JOVI)
	I wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head
	Iīve got an old coat for a pillow 
	And the earth was last nightīs bed
	I donīt know where Iīm going, 
	only God knows where Iīve been
	Iīm a devil on the run, 
	a six gun lover, a candle in the wind
	When youīre brought into this world 
	they say youīre born in sin
	Well at least they gave me something 
	I didnīt have to steal or have to win
	Well they tell me that Iīm wanted, 
	yeah, Iīm a wanted man
	Iīm a colt in your stable, 
	Iīm what Cain was to Abel
	Mister catch me if you can	
	Iīm going out in a blaze of glory
	Take me now but know the truth...
	...Lord I never drew first 
	but I drew first blood
	Iīm no oneīs son call me young gun
	You ask about my conscience 
	and I offer you my soul
	You ask if Iīll grow to be a wise man, 
	well I ask if Iīll grow old, 
	you ask me if Iīve known love 
	and what itīs like to sing songs in the rain
	Well, Iīve seen love come 
	and Iīve seen it shot down
	Iīve seen it die in vain	
	Shot down in a blaze of glory...
	...īCause Iīm going down in a blaze of glory...
	...Iīm the devilīs son...
	...Each night I go to bed 
	I pray the Lord my soul to keep
	No I ainīt looking for forgiveness 
	but before Iīm six foot deep
	Lord, I got to ask a favor 
	and hope youīll understand
	īCause Iīve lived life to the fullest
	Let this boy die like a man staring down a bullet 
	let me make my final stand...Iīm a young gun...

THESE DAYS  (BON JOVI)
	I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
	Trying to keep myself out of the rain.
	Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
	Wondered if I might end up the same
	Thereīs a man out on the corner 
	singing old songs about change
	Everybody got their cross to bare, these days...
	She came looking for some shelter 
	with a suitcase full of dreams
	To a motel room on the boulevard 
	guess sheīs trying to be James Dean
	Sheīs seen all the disciples and all the "wanna beīs"
	No one wants to be themselves these days
	Still thereīs nothing to hold on to but...
	...the stars seem out of reach...
	...there ainīt a ladder on these streets...
	...are fast, love donīt last in this graceless age
	There ainīt nobody left but us...
	Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
	From a second story window, 
	he just jumped and closed his eyes
	His momma said he was crazy, 
	he said momma "Iīve got to try"
	Donīt you know that all my heroes died
	And I guess Iīd rather die than fade away...
	...Even innocence has caught the morning train and... 
	...I know Romeīs still burning 
	though the times have changed
	This world keepd turning round and...
	...are fast, nothing lasts, 
	there ainīt no time to waste
	There ainīt nobody left to take the blame...

MY GUITAR LIES BLEEDING IN MY ARMS  (BON JOVI)
	Misery likes company, I like the way that sounds
	Iīve been trying to find the meaning, 
	so I can write it down
	Staring out the window, itīs such a long way down
	Iīd like to jump, but Iīm afraid to hit the ground
	I canīt write a love song the way I feel today
	I canīt sing no song of hope, Iīve got nothing to say
	Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away
	I sing this song to you wherever you are
	As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
	Iīm tired of watching TV, it makes me want to scream
	Outside the world is burning, man itīs so hard to belive
	Each day you know youīre dying from the cradle to the grave
	I get so numb sometimes, that I canīt feel the pain...
	...itīs strange enough these days 
	I send this song to you, whoever you are...
	...Staring at the paper, I donīt know what to write
	Iīll have my last cigarette-well, turn out the lights
	Maybe tomorrow Iīll fell a different way
	But here in my delusion , I donīt know what to say...
	...save, and I canīt fight the feelings buried in my brains...

THIS AINīT A LOVE SONG  (BON JOVI)
	I should have seen it coming when roses died
	Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
	I should have listened when you said good night
	You really meant good bye
	Baby, ainīt it funny, how you never ever learn to fall
	Youīre really on your knees, 
	when you think youīre standing tall
	But only fools are "know-it-alls" 
	and I played that fool for you
	I cried and I cried, 
	there were nights that died for you, baby
	I tried and I tried 
	to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby
	If the love that I got for you is gone
	If the river I cried ainīt that long
	Then Iīm wrong, yeah Iīm wrong, this ainīt a love song
	Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
	Like we got away with the perfect crime but
	We were just a legend in my mind, I guess that I was blind
	Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
	The clowns wore smiles that wouldnīt fade
	You and I were the renegades, some things never change
	It made me so mad īcause I wanted it bad for us, baby
	Now itīs so sad that whatever we had, ainīt worth saving...
	...If the pain that Iīm feeling so strong...
	...Is the reason that Iīm holding on...

LIE TO ME  (BON JOVI)
	Rumour has it that your daddyīs coming down, 
	heīs gonna pay the rent
	Tell me baby, is this as good as life is gonna get
	It feels like thereīs a stranger standing in these shoes
	But, I know I canīt lose me, īcause then Iīd be losing you
	I know I promised baby I would be the one to make our dreams 
	come true I ainīt too proud of all the struggles
	And the hard times weīve been through when this cold world 
	comes between us, please tell me youīll be brave
	īCause I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away
	If you donīt love me, lie to me
	īCause baby youīre the one thing I believe
	Let it all fall down around us, if thatīs whatīs meant to be
	Right now...Pour another cup of coffee, babe I got something 
	to say to you I ainīt got the winning ticket, 
	not the one thatīs gonna pull us through
	No one said that itīd be easy let your old man take you home
	But know that if you walk out on me that darling Iīd be gone...
	...Right now if you canīt love me baby, lie to me
	Baby, I can take it. Itīs a bitch, but lifeīs a roller 
	coaster ride the ups and downs will make you scream sometimes
	Itīs hard believing that the thrill is gone but we got to go 
	around again, so letīs hold on...Cīmon lie to me...

HEARTS BREAKING EVEN  (BON JOVI)
	Itīs been a cold...night 
	and I canīt get you off of my mind
	God knows Iīve tried, 
	did I throw away the best part of my life?
	When I cut you off, 
	did I cut myself with the same damn knife?
	Hide my tears in the pouring rain, 
	had my share of hurt and pain
	Donīt say my name, run away, īcause itīs all in vain
	My heartīs breaking even, now thereīs no use we even try
	Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died...
	Donīt got a reason, 
	letīs just fold the cards and say good-bye
	Itīs all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight
	Itīs been a long...time since 
	Iīve had your love here in my hands
	We didnīt understand it, we couldnīt understand it
	But, nothingīs fair in love and hate...
	You lay it all down and walk away, before itīs too late
	We danced all night as the music played
	The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
	There in the stains, we remain, no one left to blame...
	...Go on, get on with your life, yeah, Iīll get on with mine
	Broken hearts canīt call the cops, yeah, itīs a perfect crime
	Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning
	Iīm burning alive, Iīm paying the price again, 
	but Iīll see the light again...
