Velvet Revolver

[koan]

Slash's new band with Stone Temple Pilot's singer Scott Weiland

I hadn't heard of this band until recently, though some of the songs sound familiar but The Last Fight is the latest radio release and part of the lyrics struck me so profoundly I can't get it out of my head. "Left home with a pack of clothes, without a family tree..." I actually stopped in my tracks when I heard those lines.



"The Last Fight"

Time feels like I've been back in jail

Like when I was doing time but in the can

Spend all night on a bended knee

Just to beg for something to believe

Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree

[Chorus]

This fight could be the last fight

No giving and no winning

One time could be the all the time

Should we decide to end the misery

Time heals all of the burned out bridges

Filled with nothing more than misery

I wear the mask of the unbattled son

Trying to beg for something to believe

Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree

[Chorus]

Break the chains of featherweights and giants

With the stain forever lasting liars

They're afraid when we spit out the fire

And start living, living, living, my friend.

[Chorus x3]

[Kathy Ellen]

Really nice Koan, Like both Slash and Scott.:-6

[G-man]

I love them! What a talented group there... and glad that Scott has gotten his act back together... he was always such a great performer... and have been told we kinda' resemble each other. :p
