Paradise City (Live at Big Day Out)

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Courtney Love, Melissa Auf der Maur,] I'm so sorry that you had to wait and now my voice is shit. Um, I hope that's okay and our mixer guy's mixing it. I feel very humble now. I don't feel arrogant any more. But I'm about to get really cocky! Thanks for staying all day we really, really enjoy your company. They want us to stay all day cause you know what we're the best band on the fucking bill! Well, fucking shit I'd stay all day too. Just to see your butt I'd stay Melissa. This is our big hit! [Chorus] Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home, yeah, yeah Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home [Verse 1] Rags to riches or so they say, ya gotta-keep workin' For the fortune and fame It's all a gamble when it's just a game Ya treat it like a capital crime Baby, everybody does their time [Chorus] Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home, yeah, yeah Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass so green and the girls so pretty Oh, won't you please take me home [Bridge] So far away You're so far away Yeah, so far away So fucking far away [Verse 2] Captain America's been torn apart Now he's a sodomite with a broken heart He said, "Turn me around and take me back to the start Because I've been here a million times" Everybody's got to die [Chorus] Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls so pretty Oh, won't you please take me home, yeah Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls so pretty Oh, won't you please take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls so pretty Oh, won't you please take me home, yeah, yeah Take me down to the paradise city Grass so green, girls so pretty Oh, won't you please take me home Take me down to the paradise city Grass is green, girls so pretty Oh, won't you please take me home [Spoken Outro] That's it! I lost my voice on a Guns N' Roses song. That is really sad!
