Wasn't Yesterday Great (Gilby Clarke) Sold my Stones 45's And traded in my 'stang I lost it all in a time warp My generation boomeranged Yesterday, was it great? Stayed in bed in my hangover clothes I couldn't get up for the day Wasn't yesterday great Dropping out of the machine Walk the nuclear slide Got a headache from the strobelights An acid overdrive Yesterday, was it great Stayed in bed in my hangover clothes I couldn't get up for the day Wasn't yesterday great Put a quarter in the pay phone I buy all the lies If forever is a moment I'd sell tomorrow night Yesterday, was it great Stayed in bed in my hangover clothes I couldn't get up for the day Wasn't yesterday great Wasn't, wasn't yesterday great Top Of Page
Black (Gilby Clarke) If I told you I could love you I feel you'll think I'm weak I never had a friend Who was my lover Honestly When I wake up from my sleep And I feel you next to me I'm so happy inside But I'll be crushed If you leave It's so black It's so sad No one understands my hell It's so black It's so sad I'm a stranger to myself See a man can hurt a woman ??? but you still forgive But a woman who is unfaithful Kills a man Darkness fall on anyone Who welcomes it When you're in my bed It's my home And it's sacred It's so black It's so sad No one understands my hell It's so black It's so sad I'm a stranger to myself No one understands my hell It's my own It's my own It's so black It's so sad I'm always alone 'Cause no one No one Top Of Page
Kilroy Was Here (Gilby Clarke) Kilroy was here, he cashed a check and checked out his asphyxilation was such a mess when he was found Did I do you wrong I did you no wrong chorus I'm selling you what you sold me Suffocate in the air you breathe I'm selling you what you sold me Suffocate in the air you breathe I wish you were here to tell everyone I can have your car In all his doom, is the guilt in satire Did I do you wrong I did you no wrong chorus bridge Falling off the world It's the last thing I would do I'd do the same if I was you you used to be so cruel It's the last thing that you'll do chorus Top Of Page
It's Good Enough For Rock and Roll (Gilby Clarke) I never saw the trouble in front of me I never felt the whip come down Found my suicide motel room key It took an ol' blind bloodhound My record players broken again The red lights flickerin' If it's good enough for rock n' roll Well it's good enough for me If it's good enough for rock n' roll Well it's good enough for me Waiting for this liquor store thief Just a lawyer in a fake pony skin Stolen from yesterdays bleed Bring your own bottle of sin Thought I saw your silhouette Buy my alcohol goggles are cracked If it's good enough for rock n' roll Well it's good enough for me If it's good enough for rock n' roll Well it's good enough for me Tell me how you want it I ain't getting down on my knees Show me how you goy it I ain't getting down on my knees My record players broken again The red lights flickerin' If it's good enough for rock n' roll Well it's good enough for me If it's good enough for rock n' roll Well it's good enough for me Top Of Page
Cure Me...or Kill Me (Gilby Clarke) When the first car hit the wall Was the gulit still in or head? In your magic crystal ball Is the poweer that made you mad You can't save yourself, it's a pleasure cruise You're damned for a million years There's a viper in your bedroom Under the sheets is tarantula fuzz When she bites, she bites for murder I bleed the Addams Family blood There's a spell on me that I can't reverse It's a sympathy cross you burn Cure me.. Or Kill me.. But don't leave me here for dead Again Cure me.. Or Kill me.. But don't leave me here for dead Again This is your last happy Christmas Your worst Birthday party The cyanide in your poison ring Wouldn't cure my misery Don't bury me when I'm history I think you'll find an easy way out Top Of Page
Tijuana Jail (Gilby Clarke) Welcome to salvation, my Tequila's my companion for this evening of oblivion Everyone around me, kinda bores me, it makes me lonely with the friends I never had Packing up my Mustang cuz' this city has no heart, it sucks you in and spits you out Patiently I'm seeking my destination is unknown, I followed the road down to Mexico Sorry Mr.Officer I think you got it wrong, I'm just a lonely ol' Texas boy and I wanna get on home He smiled and said "senor you're not in Texas anymore Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Tijuana Jail Staring at the ceiling of my jail cell it's my home, at least for now, it seems like forever Sleeping on the floor with the rats, crawling up my ass, I'm gonna kill that officer Sorry Mr. Officer but I'm gonna get revenge, on this side of the border 20 pesos get you dead He smiled and said "senor I think I'll drink to your threats" Send my love to my home, but sent my mail to a Tijuana Jail In my destitution suicides a solution, but I'm a gambler, and I'm not cashed in The sun is going down and my problems will be solved by dawn, but not by justice I smelled liquor on his breath, I knew this is my last chance, I begged give a dying man his last drink He handed me a glass with just the worm and he laughed I pulled a switchblade from my boot and shoved it in his throat Sorry Mr. Officer I think you got it wrong, I'm a lonely ol' Texas boy and I wanna get on home He smiled and said "senor you're not in Texas anymore" Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Texas Jail.
