Song of the day | 29 Aug 2001 - Amor Fati - Aug 29, 2001
LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D. Child
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Chorus

Compared to his old songs, the guy's really come down...
Ones like Livin' on a prayer, and Dead or alive, are just great, but nowadays...

Listening to the acoustic Dead or Alive right now.
But I disagree. These Days is the best Bon Jovi album ever, and one of the top 5 albums of all time. Helped me through a lot.
Destination Anywhere, his solo album from '96, is equally amazing and soulfull. Crush is something different, I agree, but it has "Thank you for loving me", a song I sent to my baby during our first days together, which is our anthem.

I think almost everything that was good in the 80's has become bad these days.
