Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi američki je rock sastav iz New Jerseya osnovan 1983. godine. Vođen od glavnog pevača i tvorca imena benda Jona Bon Jovija, bend je originalno ostvario veliki uspeh 1980-ih kao metal bend. Bon Jovi se dokazao kao puno trajnija od većine grupa tako etiketiranih, spajajući elemente hard rocka, Hair Metala, heartland rocka, i stila "MTV Unpluggeda" da bi održali komercijalno uspješnu karijeru i duboko u 2000-ima.

It's my life

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

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

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
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she�s still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won�t make of me when I�m dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we�re 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 you�re all that I need

I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I�m so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king�s ransom in dimes I�d given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it�s hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I�ll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey�s gone dry
The barkeeper�s wig�s crooked
And she�s giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes
Know I�ll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won�t be alone
But you know that don�t
Mean I�m not lonely I�ve got nothing to prove
For it�s you that I�d die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

I'd Die For You

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

I might not say I'm sorry
Yeah, I might talk rough sometimes
And I might forget the little things
Or keep you hanging on the line

In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry

I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
I'd do anything
I'd lie for you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
If it came right down to me and you
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you

I might not be a savior
And I'll never be a king
I might not send you roses
Or buy you diamond rings

But if I could see inside you
Maybe I'd know just who we are
'Cause our love is like a hunger
Without it we would starve

In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry

BLAZE OF GLORY

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night�s bed.

I don�t know where I�m going
Only God knows where I�ve been
I�m a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind.

When you�re brought into this world
They say you�re born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn�t have to steal or have to win.

Well they tell me that I�m wanted
Yeah I�m a wanted man
I�m colt in your stable
I�m what cain was to abel
Mister catch me if you can.

I�m going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I�m going down in a blaze of glory.

Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I�m no one�s son
Call me young gun.

You ask about my consience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I�ll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I�ll grow old.

You ask me if I known love
And what it�s like to sing songs in the rain
Well,I�ve seen love come
And I�ve seen it shot down.

I�ve seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
�cause I�m going down in a blaze of glory.

Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I�m the devil�s son
Call me young gun.

Each night I go to bed
I pray the lord my soul to keep
No I ain�t looking for forgiveness
But before I�m six foot deep.

Lord,i got to ask a favor
And I�ll hope you�ll understand
�cause I�ve lived life to the fullest
Let the boy die like a man.

Staring down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth.

I�m going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
And I�m no one�s son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun.

KEEP THE FAITH

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
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son

Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please believe me)
Everybody�s bitching
�cause they can�t get enough
And it�s hard to hold on
When there�s no one to lean on

Faith: you know you�re gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don�t let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith

Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me al�s forgiven
And just hide behind your pride

Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please don�t leave me)
Everybody�s bleeding
�cause the times are tough
Well it�s hard to be strong
When there�s no one to dream on

Faith: you know you�re gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Now you know is not too late
Oh you got to keep the faith
Faith: don�t let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith

Walking in the footsteps
Of society�s lies
I don�t like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever

To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin�
Trying to wash away the pain
Mother father

There�s things I�ve done I can�t erase
Every night we fall from grace

It�s hard with the world in yours face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

Faith: you know you�re gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don�t let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Faith: now it�s not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith.

IN THESE ARMS

You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with a fire, just for you now
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
Want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
I would give anything
My blood my love my life
If you were in these arms tonight

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonights

We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world would never blind us
These are my words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
It's what I believe
If you were in these arms tonight

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonights

Your clothes are still scatteder
All over our room
This old place still smells like
Your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
And there's nothing that I
Wouldn't do to be in your arms
And these were our words
They keep me strong

I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonights

The price of love

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' ringing on

No one said there'd be nights like this
Risk your life for a stolen kiss

Chorus:
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love

Each move goes so slow
Until the doors close
No secret codes now
No words as baby goes down
One last dance then goodbye
Practicing his love lies
He runs to his wife
And your left holding the knife

You live your life to take that chance
When your a master of the art of romance
And you know you won't cross that line
Until that last slow dance

Chorus

Alone our lonely hearts would die.
It's all in the game
And the way that it's played
There's no time to wonder why
To catch you when you fall
Answer when you call
No one can hear you cry

SOMETHING FOR THE PAIN

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 your feeling like a headline on
Yesterday�s news

Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
I feel I�ve been danglin� from a hang-man�s noose
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right,
Something like you

Loneliness has found a home in me
My suitcase and guitar are my only family
I�ve tried to need someone, like they needed me
I opened up my heart, but all I did was bleed
I don�t need no lover, just to get screwed
They don�t make a bandage, that�s going to cover my bruise

Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
I feel I�ve been danglin� from a hang-man�s noose
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right,
Something like you

Pull me under (help I�m falling)
Run through my veins (night is calling)
To a place (feels like I�m flying)
Where I feel no pain (christ I�m dying)
Be the pillow under my head
Cover me when I�m in your bed
Take me higher than I�ve ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me, be my disguise
Open your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
I feel I�ve been danglin� from a hang-man�s noose
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right,
Something like you.

Bon Jovi - Who Says You Can't Go Home

I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place
I was lookin' for something I couldn't replace
I was runnin' 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 lookin' back
The seeds I've sown, saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a Rolling Stone
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I left a million miles of memories on that road

And every step I take, I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a Rolling Stone
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright,it's alright,
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go home

[Guitar Solo]

I've been there, done that, I ain't lookin' back
It's been a long, long road
Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes

It doesn't matter where you are, doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles aways or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright,it's alright
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright,it's alright
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright.it's alright
Who says you can't go home
