You *do* know that the chorus of that song started as a joke, right?
Here’s a better example of Rose’s poetry. It didn’t get released until the Use Your Illusion albums, but it was written about the same time as AFD:
Just like children hiding in a closet
Can’t tell what’s going on outside
Sometimes we’re so far off the beaten track
We’ll get taken for a ride
By a parlor trick or some words of wit
A hidden hand up a sleeve
To think the one you love
could hurt you now
Is a little hard to believe
But everybody, darling, sometimes
Bites the hand that feeds
These are all cliches. This example just reinforces my negative opinion of AR.
I am checking out Velvet Revolver, though.
