Dirty Little Thing
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I was over there
Every little thing that I hear sounds like it ends
And out of everything you said
All the little things that you add up still don't make ten

I wish I was over there
I could play harp and I'd know how to read music
I wish I was over there
I would know my parts and never mess up the band

You're a little thing and I knew you were
Under loved and overwhelmed
I heard you opening the door
I heard the crack and heard the roar
All you wanted was a light
I gave you mine and lost the fight

You fell in love when you were young
You fell in love when you were young
You fell in love when you were young
You fell in love when you were young

I wish I was over there
Every little thing that I hear sounds like it ends
And out of everything you said
All the little things that you add up still don't make ten

You're a little thing and I knew you were
Under loved and overwhelmed
I heard you opening the door
I heard the crack and heard the roar
All you wanted was a light
I gave you mine and lost the fight

You fell in love when you were young
You fell in love when you were young




You fell in love when you were young
Every little thing is from when you were young

Can't stop thinkin' must've been trippin' this evening
My mind is racing demons, all of my feelings are numb
Yeah, when I roll with my head in the wind
And I feel like the king of the...

Dead men wishin' they had gotten together with you, girl
But you're a dirty little liar with a message of obsession to come
You got your head in the clouds
And your world's upside down

Get away from the life you're living
Get away from the man that's stealing your life
Get away from the drugs you're taking
Get away from the film of sex in your life

Can't stop drinking, Imma cold, kicking and bleeding
The wine is numbing feelings and all of my memories are gone
Yeah, when I roll with my head in the wind
And I feel like the king of the...

Dead men wishin' they had gotten together with you, girl
But you're a dirty little liar with a message of obsession to come
You got your head in the clouds
And your world's upside down

Get away from the life you're living
Get away from the man that's stealing your life
Get away from the drugs you're taking
Get away from the film of sex in your life

You got your head in the clouds
And your world's upside down

Get away from the life you're living
Get away from the man that's stealing your life
Get away from the drugs you're taking
Get away from the film of sex in your life

Get away, get away, get away
Get away, get away, get away

Scott always started out fully clothed and by the end of the video or concert he always ended up only in pants. He was definitely one of a kind. RIP Scott.

@DIYMEN012

I'd do the same if I was surrounded by hot Asians

@bellanekro7682

I love how Slash kept that same look since the 80's.

@Theak47forall

Its sort of his image. Why change something that made you recognizable world wide.

@thescream1868

@@Theak47forall well, he kind of is a trend setter to be honest

@shelceygusek427

Slash is real?!




😄

@mikearisbrocken8507

Yeah, well... I guess if you took someone from the middle ages would think the same, but ok.

@binladenbro7003

Well to be precise nothing really suits slash so like it or not all he gotta wear is that for rest of his life

Velvet Revolver and Audioslave were great examples that old rock n' rollers still had new things to say and new sounds to explore. They didn't recycle their 80s/90s sound, they went out with a new vision of what mainstream rock could be.
