Song lyrics
How long
How long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I gotta take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I gotta take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on

How long
How long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spilling my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I gotta take it on the otherside

A scarlet starlet
And she's in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I gotta take it on the other side
Take it on the other side
Take it on
Take it on

(How long will I slide)
How long
How long will I slide
Separate my side
(I)
I don't
(Don't)
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

Turn me on
Take me for a hard ride
Burn me out
Leave me on the other side
I yell and tell it that it's not my friend
I tear it down
I tear it down and then it's born again

(How long)
How long
How long will I slide
(I slide)
Separate my side
(I)
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever had

(How long)
I don't
(I don't)
I don't believe it's bad
(Side)
(I don't)
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

is this song 'bout loosing hillel or is it about drugs and battling against demons (as it is on a fact-site on the internet)?
anyway, this song is indescribable, but I'll try my best...
john's melodies are great.
flea's strings are great.
chad's rhythms are great.
anthony is great. it sounds like he wants to say something, but that he doesn't dare.

this song is sensitive, it's feelings, it's despair, it's sadness, it's love and it's darkness and for some weeks ago it made me cry.
as I said, I can't describe it, but I love it. It means so much to me. anthony is so sweet in the video, he's my own white little panda 3
and he's acting good.
So, RHCP got all my love. I adore them! They are geniuses (I don't know what genius is in plural in English. I'm from Sweden, you see J), and they kick ass!
Once again, one more time, now I'll try to describe RHCP. I'll do it with these three words, one symbol and three smileys:
I LOVE THEM!


PS. This is what I want to give to Anthony ---> DS.

I don't think there are any other bands with the same sound as RHCP maybe that's why they've lasted so long. Heart this song.

Greeeeeeeeat song.
I could listen to it forever.

* offtopic :
I think I found a mistake in the lyrics.
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever


To me, it sounds like he's saying slit my throat, it's all I ever had. I dunno though... I could be wrong.

Excellent song. I love playing this on the ol' gatar, all I need now is someone who can sing it decent!

Anyway, one of the legendary songs that I never get bored of. Top stuff.
