You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with fire, yeah
Until the end of time
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight

What more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried
Still it's so hard for her to notice
I've tried hard to be straight
There's nothing left I can say
If only she would look my way

[Chorus:]
She don't know me, she don't know

These four walls have got a story to tell
(Oh-oh, oh-oh...!)
The door is off the hinges, there's no wishing them well
(Oh-oh, oh-oh...!)

Outside the sky is coal black, the streets are on fire
The picture windows cracked, and there's no where to run
I know, I know, this house is not for sale

Hey God, I'm just a little man got a wife and family 
But I almost lost the house 
Yeah, I bought into the dream 
We're barely holdin' on, when I'm in way to deep 
We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets 

She's a workin' single mom, like a Saint she doesn't complain 
She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame 

Marry me to the blue sky
Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
Meet me where they stop time
That's you to me on the shovel that's digging this grave
Till I can waltz on a moonbeam
Till I can find a way to return all tears into wine
I'll hitch my ride to a day dream
Can't unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind

Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you

Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know we're gonna make it through

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs 'cause there's bills to pay
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die

Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I’m gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we've come this far

All about Lovin' You

Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two

All talk, no action

First time I saw you girl,
I knew it wouldn't be long
I tried holding back my feelings
But you came on so strong
No one told me about her
But I know they all knew

this romeo is bleeding
but you can't see his blood
it's nothing but some feelings
that this old dog kicked up

it's been raining since you left me
now I'm drowning in the flood
you see I've always been a fighter

The clock strikes ten
Out on the streets again
I been looking for something to please me since I don't know when
Out on the dark side of town
Another rumble's gone down
And life on the high side isn't what this boys about

She's got something I want, man, it's something I need

Alarm clock rings, 6:45,
Must have hit that snooze button least 3 times,
Wishing this morning was still last night,
On any other day, just might wanna die.

Traffics backed up 20 miles to the east,
Must have hit every damn red light on the street,
Weatherman says "It's gonna rain for a week"

I’m in this war
But got no gun
Still standing strong
An army of one
So sign me up
I’m a soldier

I’ve got a voice

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Woah, shake it up just like bad medicine
There aint no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad medicine

I aint got a fever got a permanent disease
And it'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock, not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand because we can

She's in the kitchen starin' out the window
So tired of livin' life in black and white
Right now she's missin' those technicolour kisses

Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses

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
Is still lodged in my head

I have walked all alone
On these streets I call home
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks time disappears

I was lost, on my knees
On the eve of defeat
As I choked back the tears

Bells will be ringing, the glad, glad news;
Oh, what a Christmas, to have the blues;
My baby's gone;
I have no friends;
To wish me greetings, once again;
Choirs will be singing, Silent Night
Oh, Christmas Carols, by candlelight;

We met some time ago, when we were almost young
It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?
I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose
You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes

I never thought I'd lose you, no - I'd rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
I guess she lied

First time I heard the music
I thought it was my own
I could feel it in my heartbeat
I could feel it in my bones
My momma thinks I'm crazy
My dad says I'm insane
I got this boogie woogie fever
That's burning in my veins

I [dm] wake up in the morning
And I [C] raise my weary head
I've got an [G] old coat for a pillow
And the [dm] earth was last night's bed
I [F] don't know where I'm going
Only [C] God knows where I've been
I'm a [G] devil on the run
A six gun lover

Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day
Sit at the counter counting tips
Can't count on nothing else these days
Don't want to go home to the T.V.
Don't want to go down to some bar
You grab a blanket
Put the top down

I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did

Well, it was me and Danny and Bobby
We cut each other's hands
And held tight to a promise

I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmastree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

I'll have a Blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,

If you were born again tomorrow

This ain't a test, no it's a warning
Ain't gonna say the sky is falling
You got to read between the lines
Stop waiting for a sign
Who's gonna live your life

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs 'cause there's bills to play
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die

Verse 1:

I been knocked down so many times
Counted out 6, 7, 8, 9
Written off like some bad deal
If youre breathing you know how it feels
Call it karma, call it luck
Me, I just dont give a

Bounce, bounce nothings gonna keep me down

This time girl I've had enough
You're too hot to handle with kid gloves
It's too late I hear a knock on the door
The game's over baby I can't take it no more

[Chorus:]
Breakout, Breakout
Take these chains from me

Angels falling from the sky
Imagine that, imagine that
Nobody getting out of here alive
No turning back, no turning back

Who's gonna bail out all our shattered dreams
And scrape some truth off of these city streets
No time for praying, get up off your knees

Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah

Dateline early Sunday morning
Shots ring out without a warning
No one seems to even blink in this town

I've been lied to, you been cheated
I've been cried to, you been mistreated
I've been watching you, you want action
You need love and I need satisfaction

I'm burning for love
Filled with desire
I can't stand the heat

I've been lied to, you been cheated
I've been cried to, you been mistreated
I've been watching you, you want action
You need love and I need satisfaction

Chorus:
I'm burning for love
Filled with desire

Solo y tan triste estoy como um viejo piano
Clarea y sin saber donde despierto sin rumbo
Porque el litro de vodka he bebido ayer
Y una rubia en mi cama siempre se espera talvez
Esas niГ±as de cine que te hacen morir sin nascer
La maГ±ana es tan gris
Como esos besos de nadie
La cancion al reves

Now that you're gone, I can see what
Was going on and how you lied
When you'd said you'd never love again
Friends telephone and they say
You weren't out alone last night
Can't you see that this broken heart
Is killing me
Another night is falling

Я должен был заметить увяданье розы,
Должен был понять, в душе твоей не лето, а морозы
Я должен быть понять, что твое «спокойной ночи»,
Значило, что видеть больше ты меня не хочешь
Милая, так горько, что научиться падать невозможно -
Ты думаешь, не пал ты на колени - но это чувство ложно
И только дураки говорят, что знают всё - с начала до конца,
И ради тебя, любимая, сыграл я роль такого глупца

Take a look around, this is what I see
Is there anybody else that feels like me?
You swear, you swear
You bleed, you bleed
What you get aint what you see
All this town in black looks white to me

[Chorus]

The city sounds like a symphony
A cabbie screams obscenities
The horns are honking jazz in the night
Her street is lit like a Christmas tree
This place is my amphetamine
She junks me but it's alright
In her summer dress she parts the sea
Her hair wrapped up in rosary beads

I’ve been waitin' for this scene to end
I don’t need somebody baby, I need a friend
I work all day just like doin' time
I've stood tall through the fires of hell
And I've walked through enemy lines.

So now you’ve gone and built a wall around you
Its gonna take a heart to knock it down too.

Diamond ring, wear it on your hand
It's gonna tell the world, I'm your only man
Diamond ring, diamond ring
Baby, you're my everything, diamond ring

Red, red rose brought it home to you
Blood red rose, tells me that you're true
Red, red rose, blood-red rose

Across the border they turn
Water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a saviour
In these hard and desperate times
For me it helps me to forget
That we're just born to die

Бутылку виски утешает меня
И говорит мне не плакать
Хотя полная луна говорит молитвы для меня
Я стараюсь, чтобы закрыть глаза

Но ночью, чтобы напомнить мне
Из орудий и ранней могилы
Призраки появляются как я засыпаю

[Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock:]
"You rode a 15 year old boy straight to his grave and the rest of us straight to hell."

A whiskey bottle comforts me
And tells me not to cry
While a full moon says a prayer for me
I try to close my eyes

And there I stood just like a soldier
I was tough until I saw her
I said hello but she just turned away
Hey Romeo, whatchya doin' with my girl?
Who are you using now? I turn and walk away
I'm gonna please her
Now you can believe it

I used to be the kind of guy
Who never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a lot to lose
Thought I had a lot to prove
In my life there's no denying

Goodbye to all my yesterdays

Раньше я был из тех парней,
Что никого не пускают к себе в душу.
Я улыбался, когда хотелось плакать,
Мне было нечего терять, кроме самой жизни.
Я думал, что обязан всем всё доказывать,
Я никогда ни от чего не отрекаюсь.

Прощайте, все мои прошлые дни!

I got your picture on my phone
Your voice in my head
I'm lying here alone
Restless in а faraway bed
The stars will falling down
And I'm half a world away
I'm just trying to close the distance
To feel each breath that you take

Everyday

I used to be the kind of guy
Who'd never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a life to loose
Thought I had a lot to proof
In my life, there's no denying

How can I defend
"Let's live for now and not then"
We're chasing taillights,
Let them fade into the distance
Let's say the engine stalled and start again

Turn around, let's turn around
It's a dark road we been heading down

I see you looking over your shoulder
Tell me who do you think's out there
You're reaching for your four leaf clover
But baby there ain't no luck down there
I swear that there's no heart in this city
It's here the slogan reads
"Do your time" everybody's doing
their sentence

There's no-onewatching over me tonight and I'm afraid to turn out the lights,
If I close my eyes, it'll all go away and I don't wanna see itend this way.

There was a time when truth and trust meant so much more to eachof us
And all the dreams that we once had have seen the sun and left usfeeling bad

Now the changing of the guard has left us feeling so damn hard
I'll keep my distance, but I'm a little bit afraid

A penny for your thoughts now, baby
Tell me what you see
You know I want to play with you but this ain't hide and seek with Me
Can't you see

I know your mama don't approve of what I'm thinking of
You give me just the little things but it just ain't enough

You need someone to make it last

No romeos wholl love and leave you fast

They fade away

Tonight youre not gonna be alone

I got some blood under my nails, I got some mud on my face
My voice is shot I'm going grey, these muscles all ache
Don't cry for me, I'm the life of the party
I'm smiling most of the time
I may be gritting my teeth, can't get back where we started
These days I'm doing just fine
God bless this mess, this mess is mine
Won't pound my chest or criticize

In the heat of the street of the city
A young boy hides the pain
And he walks so tall, trying to hang on
But he knows he's going down again
I know he's going down

Darkness fades he's the prince of his city
In a place where they all know your name

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it?s black or white?
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man.
My daddy lived the lie, it?s just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, just slavin? away.

Ohhh, if there?s one thing I hang onto,

It's been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight
And I can't get you off my mind
God knows I've 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
Don't say my name, run away, cause it's all in vain

Hey God

Hey God, I’m just a little man got a wife and family
But I almost lost the house
Yeah, I bought into the dream
We’re barely holdin’ on, when I’m in way too deep
We’re two paychecks away from living out on the streets

When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home
He made me a man
So, don't talk to me about sympathy now
Cause you can't dance if you
Take a chance on your rosary

Hello, is there anybody out there?
I'm alone hanging by a thread
Everywhere around the world
Everybody's waiting for someday
Calling out around the world
Maybe someday might be tonight

[Chorus:]

Bon Jovi, Sambora, Shanks

How do you spend your minutes on the matters
All tomorrows come from yesterday's
When you're feeling broke and bruised and sometimes shattered
Blew out the candles on the cake, like everything's a big mistake
It seems you always wait for life to happen
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break

"Wanted Dead Or Alive"

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

[Chorus:]

All I know is what I've been sold
You can read my life like a fortune told
I've seen the dream, there's no land of Oz
But I got my brain and I got a heart
And courage built I won't let go
What we need right now is ....soul

I can't do this, you can't do that

Every day of my life has been leading me here tonight
Feels like I'm coming home back to you, back to you
Every chance that I take
Every wrong turn and every mistake
Is a step on the road back to you
And I'm alive
Chorus:
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough

Two
One two three four

Hello, baby, it's only me
I know you're tired, it's been a long hard week
I was thinking maybe if you ain't got no plans

I just wanna be your man

You didn't have to love me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you

If you took your love to someone else
I know what I meant to be the loving dare

I had a roof overhead
Had shoes on my feet
Sure I was fed, but no-one was there
When I was in need, yeah
So who am I now?
Who do you want me to be?
I can forgive you, but I won't relive you
I aint the same scared kid I used to be

I had a roof overhead
Had shoes on my feet
Yeah, sure I was fed
But no one was there when I was in need, yeah

So who am I now?
Who do you want me to be?
I can forgive you but I won't re-live you

The last time I saw her
Was the night she said good-bye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by
As she packed up her belongings
She wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll off her face
As we both tried so hard

The last time I saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by, yes she did
As she packed up her belongings
Baby wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll off her face
As we both tried so hard not to cry, she said

The last time I saw her
Was the night she said good-bye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by
As she packed up her belongings
She wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll off her face
As we both tried so hard

this romeo is bleeding
but you can't see his blood
it's nothing but some feelings
that this old dog kicked up

it's been raining since you left me
now I'm drowning in the flood
you see I've always been a fighter

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter

If you could see inside my heart
Then you d understand
Id never mean to hurt you
Baby Im not that kind of man

I might not say Im sorry
Yeah, I might talk rough sometimes
And I might forget the little things

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love, it's suicide

You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears

Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we've come this far

If there's something that needs fixing
I'm the man to see
Look me up, I'm listed
Just check under "B"
If you're ever on the spot
Well, I'm good with my hands
24-7 I'm your handyman

I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf
I played that part so lonely and so well
Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you
Yeah, I know that you've been shattered
You been bruised
We both know what it feels like when you lose
But I'd bet my life on a roll of the dice for you

I'll Be There for You (оригинал Bon Jovi)

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide

You say you're cried a thousand rivers

Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned

You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with a fire,
Until the end of time
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight
Baby I want you like the roses

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
It's my life

Зис эйнт э сон фо зэ брокен хартид
Ноу сайлент прэйер фо зэ фэйс дипартид
Ай эйнт гонна би джаст э фэйс ин зэ крауд
Юр гонна хиа май войс
Вэн ай шаут ит аут лауд

Припев
Итс май лайф

It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out
On some one-way trip

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend

This is ain song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain gonna be just a face in a groud
You gonna hear my voice when shout out loud

It`s my Life
It`s now or never
I ain gonna live forever

Это моя жизнь (перевод)
Это песня не для разбитых сердец.
Это не тихая молитва для потерявших веру.
Я не хочу быть просто человеком из толпы.
Ты услышишь меня,
Если я громко прокричу:
[Припев:]
Это моя жизнь,

This aint a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I aint gonna be just a face in the crowd
Youre gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:

Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be in some technicolor dream
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe
I'm not fool enough to think you couldn't live life without me

I didn't come this far to throw the towel in
I didn't fight this hard to walk away
If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry

Album: Destination Anywhere (1997)
Songwriters: Jon Bon Jovi

Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be
In some Technicolor dream
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe
I'm not fool enough to think

Joey Keys was from my neighborhood
Some would say that he was bad and Joe thought that was good
Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks
He never really robbed no one; it sure amused the cops

Joey's parents owned a restaurant
After closing time they'd give us almost anything we'd want
I never cared that Joey Keys was slow

Hey, man, it's been a while
Do you remember me?
When I hit the streets I was 17
A little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in between
After all these years and miles of memories
I'm still chasing dreams
But I ain't looking over my shoulder

Mother mother, tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won

Father father, please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow

October leaves are fallin', so am I
A harvest moon is callin' me and I know why
The traffic's like a symphony in blue

In the autumn air, I smell your sweet perfume
I miss you sittin' cross-legged in this empty room
Yesterdays are eatin' me alive

Regrets are all you left, on your lipstick stains
Take a picture of our past there in that ashtray
We had our fun, I used to light your flame
Like the dancing smoke that rose we tried to find our way

No one told me, she told me

Your love's like one last cigarette

Come see a living, breathing spectacle
Only seen right here
It's your last chance in this lifetime
The line forms at the rear
You won't believe your eyes
Your eyes will not believe your ears
Get your money out, get ready
Step right up, yeah you, come here

If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking

What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always what you need

I have run from the truth
Since the days of my misspent youth
I was hungry for kindness
I was lost in life's blindness

When you're born without wings
All you dream of, all you want
Is that feeling of flying

The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules

Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Tell his boys they're in command
While Chino danced a tango

Levon

Lyrics to Levon Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus'cause he likes the name
And he sends him in the finest school in town.

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say

Rumour has it that your daddy's coming down
He's gonna pay the rent
Tell me baby, is this as good as life is gonna get
It feels like there's a stronger standing in these shoes
But, I know I can't lose me, 'cause then I'd be losing you

I know I promised, baby
I would be the one to make our dreams come true

You been robbed
You been used
You been crucified and
You been abused
You been sacrificen and
Now you're confused
Ain't it the truth

You been robbed
Youbenn used
You been crucificed and
You been abused
You been sacrificied and
Now you're confused
Ain't it the truth

Livin on prayer
Once upon a time not so long ago:
Tommy used to work on the docks
union's been on strike

He's down on his luck - It's tough
so tough.
Gina works the diner all day

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay

Once upon a time

Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks

Unions been on strike

I donґt need no license
to sign on no line
and I donґt need no preacher
to tell me youґre mine
I donґt need no diamonds
I donґt need no new bride
I just need you, baby
to look me in the eye

Once upon a time not so long ago:
Tommy used to work on the docks
union's been on strike

He's down on his luck - It's tough
so tough.
Gina works the diner all day
working for her man

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

Livin' on a Prayer
Живя молитвами

Once upon a time
Было время,
Not so long ago
Не так уж и давно…
Tommy used to work on the docks

В зеркале заднего обзора
Моя жизнь проясняется.
Закат со вздохом медленно исчез.
Безделушки однажды казались сокровищем.
Жизнь изменчива, как погода,
Ты вырастаешь, стареешь
Или отправляешься в путешествие…
Вот и я еду, глядя на пробегающие

Well I wake up this morning I rolled out of bed
I felt like a dog who's been kicked in the head
Checked out my mail there was letter that read
Love for sale, love for sale

I picked up the phone I called everyone I could
I let my fingers do the walking through the telephone book
You can't catch a fish if you ain't got the hook

I was lost, then I found you
Never thought it would be this way
I showed you my heart, left it unguarded
Like a thief in the night you stole it away

Now you're gone, the pain goes on and on
I still hear you whispering to me through the shadows of the night

This world don’t give you nothing it can’t take away
Everybody holding on to something
Nobody wants to fade away

No forgiveness on the streets of this town
I left my patience at a traffic light
There’s no denying that I almost lost it
Threw in the towel, too tired to fight

I don't give a damn how it's supposed to be
That might work for you, it don't work for me
You write your truth and I'll write mine
One man's ceiling's another man's sky high

Flying like an aeroplane
Crying like the lonely whistle of a long black train
Dance in the pouring rain

She counts the days away and waits for valentines
She says every girl in the past is just a waste of time
You know, whoa
She don't believe in miracles and make-believe
If you were blind you still could see
That she believes in me, Ohhhh
Feels like I found a pocket full of gold

Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries

How's your life, it's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys

(No I won't let you down, ooh...)
The river of your hope is flooding
And I know the dam is busted
If you need me I'll come running
I won't let you down... no, no

You're looking for salvation
You thought that it'd be shining like an angel's light, yeah

Sabes mi nombre y me crees conocer
tu me miras pero se que ya no me ves
tu me quieres solo porque yo te quiero a ti
no te importa, niegas la verdad hasta el fin
y necesitas que alguien se quede aqui
me condenas a sufrir.

Miro a tu ventana, no entiendo que paso

I used to live but now I survive
I used to believe but now it's just one day at a time
The circus is gone, it's all packed away
The clown's hat, the makeup's been packed in his case

So we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July

Should I? Could I?
Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine

You cried, I died
I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb

Missery likes company
I like the way that sounds
I’ve been trying to find the meaning
So I can write it down
Staring out the window
It’s such a lon way down
I’d like to jump
But I’m afraid to hit the ground

Bon Jovi
My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms

Misery likes company, I like the way that sounds
I've been trying to find the meaning, so I can write it down
Staring out the window, it's such a long way down
I'd like to jump, but I'm afraid to hit the ground

There are days when she's a whisper
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
She'll wound you with her eyes
She always makes it better
But she won't apologize

As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend
Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat

The midnight bells are ringing
A ship is setting sail
A newborn baby's crying
As lovers say farewell
I'm singing hallelujah
Amen, the angels say
Let's hope tomorrow finds us
It's New Year's Day

Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you

Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know we're gonna make it through

No Apology (No Apology)
We will not back down (No Apology)
We are not afraid (No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt

Let's start this from the happy ending
Just another white trash train-track kid
Fighting for survival

Thunder cracks, the sky is crying
On her back she's pushing, trying
He holds her hand and kneels beside her bed
Break the silence, baby's screaming
In slow motion she ain't dreaming
She closed her eyes, looked up to God and says

Should I cry a little more?

Novocaine

You can take back all your secrets
We’ll divide up all the lies
Keep all the pictures in their frames
Cut me out, yeah I’ll be fine
Tell the neighbours all my feelings

You look like shit, so do you my brother
I missed you too, yeah you dumb stupid mother
With a cheap welcome home sign and a bottle of red
At least you got freedom in an open out there
Three cheers to the best of the rest we got left

If you could dream anything, what would that be?
If you could dream that, would you share it with me?

One Step Closer

I've seen the heart of darkness,
Let just say, I crossed over that line,
Held hands with the hopeless,
In too deep,on that ride, went around one more time,
When you're standing on the edge,
You don't look down,

Its a hot night, the natives are restless
Were sweating by the light of the moon
Theres a voodoo mojo brewing at the go-go
That could knock a witch off her broom

We slither on in and shed our skin
Make our way into the bump and the grind
So Im passing by, she gives me the eye

Просто одинок

Еще одна бесконечно долгая и бессонная ночь...
Тебе нужно, чтобы кто-то крепко обнял тебя;
Порой любовь не способна отличить ложное от истинного.
Все, что тебе оставалось, —
Еще один длинный и бессмысленный бой... все они одинаковы!
Больше никто не желает брать вину на себя.

I saw you coming from a mile away
Trying to hide behind that pretty face
Bet my last dollar baby you been bruised
Poor little heart all black 'n' blue
Last thing you need's another pickup line
You must have heard them all a thousand times
God only knows what you been through
Believe me I been broken too

You say you've been used before
Whole lot of love then it's out the door
And you swore you'd be used again no more, no more

Then you got on your feet again
It came to you like a long lost friend
Now they say you're wearing a bulletproof heart
Well I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve

Tonight the moon's as pretty as a brand new rose
And nosey stars, they seem to know where everybody goes
As poets reach for words with broken motel pens
Here's something to hold on to 'til I come home again

Out here the days they don't have names they've got numbers
And the nights just seem to fade into each other
Jilted lovers are like fireflies, each one with a spark

One heart one other
They met last summer
One move she started
Now they love this way
The pain of pleasure
Lying together
You're at their mercy
As the telephone's ringing on

I was a slicker from the city
When I met that little filly
I was six feet tall
Till she brought me to my knees
I sold my forghein car for a pick up truck
And have a drink Champaign
now its jack straight up
When you better like Hank here

Queen Of New Orleans
J. Bon Jovi, Dave Stewart

She said baby our love's just like your songs
The beat ain't bad but the words are all wrong
It's time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on
She sang Johnny, I'm gone, gone, gone
And she was gone

You - you got a nasty reputation
We're in a sticky situation - it's down to me and you
So tell me - is it true ... they say there ain't nobody better
Well now that we're together
Show me what you can do

You're under the gun
Out on the run

On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives.
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes.
All your life All your life all you've asked when's your Daddy gonna talk to
you.
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.

No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes

This isn't how your story ends, my friends,
It's just a fork along the road
Don't say your prayers, save your amens,
You've come this far but you're still far from home
Don't say goodbye, just say farewell
Write every line you live to tell
Hold your head like Harry, give 'em hell
As the night ignites the day

Billy works too hard, trying to make ends meet
He's gotta pay his credit cards
Yeah, he's been dealing with the odds
That even Vegas can't beat

By six he's out of bed, she makes his coffee sweet
He grabs his boots and his coat
Leaves a note that says, 'I love you'

A friend of a friend needs a favor
No questions asked, there's not much more to say
Me and the wife, we need the money
We've got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin'
Be sure to keep your head down, don't look 'em in the eye
And don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney
Look at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonight

I didn't want to say it in this way
I didn't want to see the day I'd say these words to you
I didn't want have to explain
Sometimes heroes have to lose
It's killing me to see you cry
Would it make it any better if I told you I did it all for you
It was just another roll of the dice
Just another star in the sky

I see you thinking twice
Wish I could read your mind
Move up or out of line
Too late for praying
I know we might lose our breath
We might be scared to death
This chance is like a step
Just got to take it

Rosie watch doin' in this low class joint
Dancin' in the dark all day
You used to be the darlin'
Of your high school scene
Now you put your love on display
Sweaty hands hand you up a dollar bill
Hungry eyes never seem to get their fill
I used to watch you walkin' down the hall

Bet the black comes in red, crimes of passion rule my head
I need you, you want him, dressed to kill we live in sin

I know the game you play, I know it well
You just keep on playin' when all the bets are down

[Chorus:]
Roulette you're goin' round in a spin,

On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you've asked when's your Daddy gonna talk to you
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.

No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your heart.

They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there just to remind me
Every dog will have his day

The spirits, they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me

I was living my life like a long lost weekend
Never felt nothing, jumping right into the deep end
I wasn't missing nothing that was ever worth getting
Never hung around enough to regret it
He walked into the late bar just in time
To hand me my excuses with a chance in rhyme
Shoes and attitude were stacked way up high
I knew right then you were the story of my life

Dear Lord, Jesus, Buddah, Allah or can I just call you Joe
I've got a lot of things to tell you and some things I gotta know
I'm tired of hearing talk about this world's about to end
If we can die together then can't we all be friends
I gotta know
Hey, I gotta know
So Mister can you tell me, gotta know
Baby can you tell me, gotta know

I never went to college
I don't have a degree
Let's say I went to night school
I learned all I know on the streets
I wasn't born a rich man
I ain't got no pedigree
The sweat on this old collar
That's my Ph.D.

I just can't believe
It was all a lie
No man in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear Disneyland
Might lose Mickey Mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake-up
Tell me it's a nightmare

Another Friday night I'm somewhere
A little drunk and worn out from the show
It's a hallway to a hotel room
The truck's already rolling down the road
I find the lights take off my coat
I see her there just lying on the bed
She's seen me through my yesterdays
God knows tonight I'm needing her again

"Seat Next To You"

Long slow drive down an old dirt road
You've got your hand out the window, listening to the radio
That's where I wanna be...

On an old park bench in the middle of December
Cold hard rain fallin', can't find no cover

What more can I do, theres nothing I havent tried
Still its so hard for her to notice
Ive tried hard to be straight
Theres nothing left I can say
If only she would look my way

Chorus:
She dont know me, she dont know

On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you've asked
When's your Daddy gonna talk to you
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through

No one heard a single word you said,
They should have seen it in your eyes

She won't let me buy her jewelry
She don't want things that she can keep
She wears wildflowers in her hair
Then throws them in the sea
She's the beginning and the end of me

[Chorus:]
She's a mystery

Would you be content to see me crying
After all those little games you put me through
After all you've done for you you're lying
Wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth

Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're heading for a fall
I gave you everything

Would you be content to see me crying
After all those little games you put me through?
After all I've done for you you're lying
Wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth?

Didn't somebody somewhere say
You're gonna take a fall
I gave you everything

Silent Night

After the smoke clears
When it’s down to you and I
When the sun appears
And there’s nothing left but goodbyes
We’ll just turn and walk away

You can read it in the papers
In some places it comes in thirty-two flavors
But you wouldn't tell no one
Your favorite if you could

From the White House to the alleys
From the President down to Long Tall Sally
Can't live with it but

Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
I'm sleeping in my car, my dreams move on
My name is Billy Jean, my love was bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old

надеюсь, что как-то будет и суббота
Songwriters: Bon Jovi, Jon; Sambora, Richard S.; Child, Desmond;

Послушай, я живой, и живу просто ночью, всю свою жизнь как будто за один раз
Вся жизнь, как в понедельник, но надеюсь, что как-то будет и суббота

Меня зовут Джим, и где я оступился?
Моя жизнь вмещается в подвал, где я живу, и все хорошее пропало насовсем

Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night

Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
I'm sleeping in my car, my dreams move on

Hey, man Im alive Im takin each day and night at a time
Im feelin like a monday but someday Ill be saturday night

Hey, my name is jim, where did I go wrong
My lifes a bargain basement, all the good shits gone
I just cant hold a job, where do I belong
Im sleeping in my car, my dreams move on

Happiness, it's been no friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I lost my faith when I hit reality
I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do
When you feeling like a headline on yesterday's news

Come on , Come on, Come on

What ya gonna to say about me
I ain't already thought?
What ya gonna try and sell me
I ain't already bought?

You wrap yourself in my colors
Ain't I the one you love to hate
You reel me in and run me over

You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth

You need somebody, somebody to hold onto
But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes

I've been waiting, standing in the dark for hours
Tryin’ a find the faith and the power to get back home to you

It's been a long time, long time since I’ve seen your face
But on and on I could not replace
The fire that burns for you

So here’s to the good times, here to the bad

Every singer's always singing about someone else
Another bleeding heart, another brand new start
But this time I'm singing all about myself
I made it be so lonely
Even my piano wants to cry
These arms weren't there to hold you
And when I was home I was miles away
Now you've got every right to go girl but I'm standing here

So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you want to know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In this world tonight

And when you spit, you better mean it

Yesterdays a memory
Another page in history
You sell yourself on hopes and dreams
That leaves you feeling sideways.
Tripping over my own feet
Trying to walk to my own beat
Another car out on the street trying to find the Highway
Yeah, Are you going my way?

Feels something like summertime
Top down ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime

These days life goes like this
Wake up, check that off of some list
Gotta be a little something more than this

There's something about you
I want to rescue
I don't even know you
So what does that mean

Maybe I'm cynical
I'm painfully logical
You're tragic and beautiful

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy,
too busy to come to the phone .
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying
to start a new life of her own.
Sylvia's mother says "Sylvia's happy...
So why don't you leave her alone?"

And the operator says

This was a church
A house full of prayer
It ain't that now
I could tear it down
There's thieves at the altar
A snake wears the crown
Handing you coal
Swearing it's gold

THE DISTANCE

There's a train out in the distance, destination still unknown
Far away where no one's waiting, so far from home, so far from home
There's a rose outside your window, the first snow is falling down
Like that lonesome whistle blowing
I keep on going, keep on going...

Silver bullet in the wild blue.
Crack in the walls I'm coming through.
Think you can stop me, well take a look in these eyes.
You can't cage what you can't tame,
There ain't no rules, this ain't a game.
There's no way to stop the fire inside...
You can escape a pouring rain.
You can run for shelter in a hurricane.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

В Нью - Орлеане есть один дом -
Там , где встречают рассвет ...
Под гневом толпы и по воле небес -
рухнул он в пыль и исчез.

These days, its hard to have a heart
It doesn't matter where you come from, or who you think you are
These days, it's hard just fitting in
Why does someone have to lose, for someone else to win
We're all looking for forgiveness, and someone we can trust
You can wrap your arms around the world
It all comes down to us

I got something on my mind
I'm just a little bit depressed
I try to blame it on the rain
But it's in my heart I guess

I'm feeling like a stranger
When I drove to my hometown
Past the site that was my boyhood home

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
There's 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

What if everything you always took for granted, was gone?
And everything you ever thought was right, was wrong?
And what if everyone you ever loved was torn, from the pages of your life?
Would you reach out for tomorrow, or try to turn back time?

These open arms will wait for you
These open arms can pull us through
Between what's left and left to do

год: 1996

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, ain't it funny, how you never ever learn to fall
You're really on your knees, when you think you're standing tall

THESE FOUR WALLS HAVE GOT A STORY TO TELL
THE DOOR IS OFF THE HINGES THERE’S NO WISH IN THE WELL.
OUTSIDE THE SKY IS COAL BLACK AND THE STREETS ARE ON FIRE
THE PICTURE WINDOWS CRACKED
AND THERE’S NO WHERE TO RUN
I KNOW I KNOW ..
THIS HOUSE IS NOT FOR SALE

These days what's left of me, ain't no Prince Charmin'
And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long.
We ain't got much but what we got is all that matters
We're picking up the pieces, trying to put 'em back where they belong

Oh, it's gotta be alright
This is love, this is life

These days what's left of me, ain't no Prince Charmin'
And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long.
We ain't got much but what we got is all that matters
We're picking up the pieces, trying to put 'em back where they belong

Oh, it's gotta be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight

This is our time
This is our night
Are you alive?
Get up, get up, get up, get up, time to fly
Are we gonna raise the roof? (Oh yeah)
Are we gonna touch the sky? (Hell yeah)
Everybody with me let me hear you now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Thorn in my side
You're always there.
Just to remind me
That I still care.
Thorn in my side
You won't let me go.
Right there beside me
To let me know

Пока ещё мы не чужие (перевод Light )
Так тяжело любить друг друга,
Но и друзьями нам не быть.
Малышка, я у твоего порога,
И время шторы опустить.
Давай я сам закрою двери.
Ну, вот, уже и свечи зажжены…
Поговори со мной, детка,

I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down Second Avenue

Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a For Sale sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take a hit but I don't want to take the fall

You said you made me and you break me
You said it ain't hard to shake me
Uh huh, uh huh
You threw me ever since you've taken me down
You came like a rainy grey Monday
I prayed like it was a Sunday
You say, you say
But I won't run away, I'll be standing my ground

That was my brother lost in the rubble
That was my sister lost in the crush
That was our mothers, those were our children
That was our fathers, that was each of us
A million prayers to God above
A million tears make an ocean of

One for love

It`s all the same, only the names have changed,
Every day it seems we`re wasting away,
Another place, where the faces I saw cold,
I`d drive all night, Just to get back home.

I`m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride,
I`m wanted, dead or alive,
Wanted, dead or alive.

I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand
Because we can

She’s in the kitchen staring out the window
So tired of living life in black & white

I thought miracles were make-believe
It's hard to hold what you can't see
But I found the faith I need
Every morning when you wake up next to me
If all this shit we take for granted
Took the train and left us stranded
Make a stand and wave goodbye
Each night I see the world with brand new eyes

Is there anybody out there looking for a party? Yeah!!
Shake your money maker, baby smoke it if you got it.
We just wanna have some fun if you don't wanna kiss this
Everybody raise your hands come on I need a witness.

We Got It Goin' On
We'll be banging and singing just like the rolling stones
We're gonna shake up your sole, we're gonna rattle your bones

We walked through the sunshine, we walked through the rain
As endless as time the thoughts will remain
We'll take what we want, you take what you need
We are the targets, you better believe

No one can save you, there's nothing to say
Deception's the name of the game

This one goes out to the man who asks for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynicals
This ain’t about no apology
This world was made by the homeless and the hungry
This world was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?

Welcome to Wherever You Are
Добро пожаловать, где бы ты ни был

Maybe we're different, but we're still the same
Может, мы и разные, но мы всё те же,
We all got the blood of Eden,
У всех у нас в венах
running through our veins

Maybe we're all different but we're still the same
We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
You're caught between just who you are and who you want to be

If you feel alone and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end

Maybe we're all different
Может, мы все разные
But we're still the same
Но мы все равно чем-то похожи
We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins
У всех нас по венам течет кровь Рая
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
Я знаю, иногда тебе тяжело увидеть

Everybody wants something, just a little more
We're making a living, and what we're living for
A rich man or a poor man, a pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But it don't mean one damn thing

What do you got, if you aint got love?
Whatever you got, it just aint enough

The world is cracked
The sky is torn
I'm hanging in
You're holding on

I can't pretend
That nothings changed
Living in the shadows

We were young, unafraid
We were finding our own way
There is no wind, there is no rain
In the eye of the hurricane
Every time you climb that mountain
There's another one left to climb
Don't go looking for tomorrow
Leaving yesterday behind

I spent 20 years tryin' to get out of this place
I was looking for something I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known
And like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I've been there, done that, I ain't looking back
The seeds I've sown, saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone

Joey comes from a sacred part of town
Where sometimes you talk so tough
That your feet don't touch the ground
And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnite blues
While the old men recite their story lines
About when I was young like you
They say: Oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat

I tried to make you happy
You know I tried so hard to be
What you hoped that I would be
I gave you what wanted
God couldn't give you what you need
You wanted more from me
Than I could ever be
You wanted heart and soul

La...la...la...la...la

Now that I've lost everything to you,
You say you want to start something new,
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving,
Baby, I'm grieving.

But if you want to leave, take good care,

She wakes up when I sleep to talk to ghosts like in the movies
If you don't follow what I mean, I sure don't mean to be confusing
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing

Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road

With These Two Hands

I could roll the dice
And give you ten good reasons
I could break the ice
And pick up the broken pieces

I could wave hello, I could raise a glass,

She wasn't young
But still a child
There still was innocence in painted smiles
She called to me as i passed her by
Lady of the night looked in my eyes
She said: I've been through many changes
But one thing always stays the same

Call it social commentary
Call it just what me eyes see
Seems that there's more pretty women
Than there are fish in the sea
Woman in love

You see there's girls who like your money
Girls who like your car

I'm here trying to make a living
I ain't living just to die
Never getting back what I'm giving
Wont someone help me, someone justify
Why these strong hands are on the unemployment line
And theres nothing left, whats on my mind
Whoooaa oooh

You're boy sits down to write a song
'Cause he thinks he's got something to say
Innocence thinks it can change the world
But the world keeps getting in the way

It's a small list for the optimist who believes that he can fly
In a long line full of pessimists to stop him every time he tries
Some people see things as they are and ask, why

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me

At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
You're insecure about what clothes to wear
I can't see nothing wrong
To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind
It's half past eight, it's getting late
It's OK, take your time
Standing here my hands in my pockets
Like I have a thousand times

You're dancing with your shadow
You been talking in your sleep
Well you can walk on water
But don't want to wet your feet

You really got me
You really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it

Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That David played to please the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?

Well, it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

don't need no license
To sign on no line
And I don't need no preacher
To tell me you're mine
I don't need no diamonds
I don't need no new bride
I just need you, baby
To look me in the eyes

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It's my life
