Song lyrics

Appetite for Destruction (1987)

• Welcome to the jungle
  We've got fun 'n' games.
  We got everything you want
  Honey, we know the names.
  We are the people that can find
  Whatever you may need.
  If you got the money, honey
  We got your disease.
  • Welcome to the Jungle, written by Axl Rose and Slash

• Welcome to the jungle.
  It gets worse here everyday.
  Ya learn ta live like an animal
  In the jungle where we play.
  If you got a hunger for what you see
  You'll take it eventually
  You can have anything you want
  But you better not take it from me.
  • Welcome to the Jungle

• I get up around seven
  Get out of bed around nine
  And I don't worry about nothing no
  'Cause worrying's a waste of my...time.
  • Mr. Brownstone, written by Slash and Izzy Stradlin

• Take me down
  To the Paradise City
  Where the grass is green
  And the girls are pretty.
  Oh, won't you please take me home?
  • Paradise City, written by Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, and Duff McKagan

• She's got a smile that it seems to me
  Reminds me of childhood memories
  Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky.
  Now and then when I see her face,
  She takes me away to that special place.
  And if I stayed too long
  I'd probably break down and cry.
  • Sweet Child o' Mine, written by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin

• She's got eyes of the bluest skies
  As if they thought of rain.
  I'd hate to look into those eyes
  And see an ounce of pain.
  Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
  Where as a child I'd hide
  And pray for the thunder and the rain
  To quietly pass me by.
  • Sweet Child o' Mine

G N' R Lies (1988)

• Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you.
  I'm still alright to smile
  Girl, I think about you every day now
  Was a time when I wasn't sure
  But you set my mind at ease
  There is no doubt
  You're in my heart now.
  • Patience, written by Izzy Stradlin

• I been walkin' the streets at night
  Just tryin' to get it right.
  Hard to see with so many around.
  You know I don't like bein' stuck in the crowd.
  And the streets don't change but baby the name
  I ain't got time for the game
  'Cause I need you.
  Yeah, yeah, but I need you.
  • Patience

Use Your Illusion I (1991)

• When I look into your eyes
  I can see a love restrained
  But darlin' when I hold you
  Don't you know I feel the same?
  'Cause nothin' lasts forever.
  And we both know hearts can change
  And it's hard to hold a candle
  In the cold November rain
  We've been through this
  Such a long long time
  Just tryin' to kill the pain.
  • November Rain, written by Axl Rose

Use Your Illusion II (1991)

• D'you wear a black armband
  When they shot the man
  Who said "Peace could last forever"
  And in my first memories
  They shot Kennedy.
  I went numb when I learned to see
  So I never fell for Vietnam
  We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
  That you can't trust freedom
  When it's not in your hands
  When everybody's fightin'
  For their promised land.
  • Civil War, written by Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagen

• I don't need one more war.
  What's so civil about war anyway?
