My Michelle (Live in New York, Ritz Theatre - May 16, 1991)
Released on November 11, 2022
[Verse 1]
Your daddy works in porno, now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin, but now she's underground
So you stay out late at night and you do your coke for free
You drive all your friends crazy with your life's insanity
[Chorus]
Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Look out
[Verse 2]
Sowin' all your wild oats in another's luxury
Yesterday was Tuesday, maybe Thursday you can sleep
But school starts much too early and this hotel wasn't free
Party 'til your connection calls, I'll return the key
[Chorus]
Well, well, well, (You just can't tell) you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Wеll, well, well, you just can't tell (You nеver can tell)
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Come on, [?]
[Bridge]
Everyone needs love
You know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone, fall in love with you
But, oh, the time it take
When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone you can call your own
But 'til then, ya better
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now you're clean and so discreet, I won't say a word
Most of all this song is true, case you haven't heard
So come on and stop your cryin', we both know money burns
Honey, don't stop tryin' and you'll get what you deserve
[Chorus]
Well, well, well, (You just can't tell) you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well, you just can't (You never can tell)
Well, well, well, my Michelle, yeah
[Outro]
My, my, my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
M-m-m-m-m-m my Michell
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Michelle
Michelle
Thank you, good fuckin' night
Also, before
Shut it, alright
Before, I thought
Before we changed subjects, what I was sayin' was fuckin'
Few years ago, fuckin' Appetite came out
Fuckin' no one would give the band fuckin' shit for, like, notoriety or anything
They wouldn't give us any, you know
Guns N' Roses didn't exist
And it was you guys that fuckin' made us happen, alright
And so, so, so that being the case, the band got really fuckin' big
I mean, blew my fuckin' mind
And, uh, so we took off for a while, went through a lot of changes and shit
And all of the sudden, you know, a couple years later, after the last tour was over
We noticed that the whole music industry and the whole rock and roll attitude went right back to day one when first started
So now what we're doin', is we're
We're fuckin'
We're tourin' in a record that hasn't been release
Because when we started out in clubs, that's how we started
And the moral of the story is never believe anything you read in Spin magazine
This is true, too
This is, uh, a little baby of mine called "Estranged"
