loving the alien  

contraband albümünden pek güzel bir adet velvet revolver balladı.

slash* gitar* solosuyla yine gözleri doldurmuştur.

sözleri şöyledir:

sometimes i think i'm scared
sometimes i know
i feel like making love
sometimes i don't
i feel like letting go
maybe not
i feel like giving up
is all we got

sometimes is all the time
and never means maybe
sometimes is all the time
maybe

and i'm moving on
and i'm moving on (sometimes i feel alone)
and i'm moving on
and i'm moving on

sometimes i make believe
when we're alone
machines have taken hold
can you get me to a telephone
it's just the little things
you used to see
am i still that man who makes you who you want to be

i never noticed
how lovely were the aliens
lovely were the aliens
i never noticed
lovely were the aliens
lovely were the aliens

contraband'in içindeki saklı güzelliktir.ilk dinlemede insanı vuran ve defalarca kendini dinleten bir şarkıdır.

slash in velvet revolver altında yazdığı , üstadın bildiğimiz slow şarkılarından pek de farkı olmayan ama yine de çok hoş fazlasıyla dinlenesi bir şarkıdır..

david bowie efsanesinin de aynı isimde şarkısı mevcuttur.contraband'la aynı paralellikte güzeldir.
bu nadide eserin güftesi şu şekildedir:

watching them come and go
the templars and the saracens
they're traveling the holy land
opening telegrams oh ho

torture comes and torture goes
knights who'd give you anything
they bear the cross of coeur de lion
salvation for the mirror blind oh ho

but if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
pray and the heathen lie will disappear
prayers they hide the saddest view
(believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
and your prayers they break the sky in two
(believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

thinking of a different time
palestine a modern problem
bounty and your wealth in land
terror in a best laid plan

watching them come and go
tomorrows and the yesterdays oh ho
christians and the unbelievers
hanging by the cross and nail oh ho

but if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
pray and the heathen lie will disappear oh ho
prayers they hide the saddest view
(believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
and your prayers they break the sky in two
(believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
you pray till the break of all.
(believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
and you'll believe you're loving the alien
(believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
believeing the strangest things (loving the alien)
