Here's the next part, everyone! It's been awhile since Metallica was on this list. So, I chose their cover of Bob Seger's Turn the Page. I prefer this version to the actual song, and this is one of the few covers that I'll ever say that about, because I've made it clear in the past that covers are very rarely just as good (or better) than their original versions. That said, I'll still put the original at the bottom, so you can draw your own conclusion.
I don't own the song, band, lyrics, or videos. Enjoy, and thanks for watching and reading!
................
On a long and lonesome highway,
East of Omaha,
You can listen to the engines,
Moaning out as one old song.
You can think about the woman,
The girl you knew the night before.
But your thoughts,
Will soon be wandering,
The way they always do,
When you're riding sixteen hours,
And there's nothing much to do,
And you don't feel much like riding,
You just wish the trip was through~.
Here I am~,
On the road again.
There I am~,
Up on the stage.
There I go~,
Playin' the star again,
There I go~,
Turn the page~.
So you walk into this restaurant,
Strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you,
As you're shaking off the cold.
You pretend it doesn't bother you,
But you just want to explode~.
Yeah, most times,
You can't hear 'em talk,
Other times you can~.
All the same old clichés,
"Is it woman?"
"Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered,
But you don't dare make a stand.
Make your stand~.
Here I am~,
On the road again.
There I am~,
Up on the stage.
There I go~,
Playin' the star again,
There I go~,
Turn the page~.
...................
Woah-Oh!
Out there in the spotlight,
You're a million miles away~,
Every ounce of energy,
You try and give away,
As the sweat pours from your body,
Like the music that you play~.
Later in the evening,
As you lie awake in bed,
With the echoes of the amplifiers,
Ringin' in your head,
You smoke the day's last cigarette,
Rememberin' what she said~.
What she said.
................
Yeah~
Here I am~,
On the road again!
There I am~,
Up on the stage!
There I go~,
Playin' the star again!
There I go~,
Turn the page~!
And there I go,
Turn that page!
There I go~,
Yeah, yeah,
Here I go,
Yeah, yeah~,
.............
Here I go, yeah,
.............
Here I go~, yeah~,
.............
There I go~,
There I go!
.............

Lyrics to Songs I Love (with vids)
PoetryThe title should specify what this is about pretty well....... There may be a few songs that are probably pretty mature, but most are relatively tame. And, hey, feel free to leave a comment! Hope you guys like the new cover! Oh, and you'll see this...
