2009.08.22 - Wedgied With Patience
Song: Patience
Artist: Guns N’ Roses
Album: G N’ R Lies
Release: 1989
This might be my favorite Guns N’ Fuckin’ Roses song that isn’t on Appetite for Destruction. Any song with whistling is an instant song wedgie - just ask David Ryba. The seed was planted when I heard it at the bar.
The song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The video was one of many produced by the band. It was the last video in which Steven Adler (even though he did not play on the track) appeared. [Wikipedia]
Lyrics:
(1..2…1,2,3,4) Shed a tear ‘cause I’m missing you I’m still alright to smile Girl, I think about you every day now Was a time when I wasn’t sure But you set my mind at ease There is no doubt you’re in my heart now Said woman take it slow It’ll work itself out fine All we need is just a little patience Said sugar make it slow And we’ll come together fine All we need is just a little patience (inhale) Patience… Ooh, oh, yeah Sit here on the stairs ‘Cause I’d rather be alone If I can’t have you right now, I’ll wait dear Sometimes, I get so tense But I can’t speed up the time But you know, love, there’s one more thing to consider Said woman take it slow Things will be just fine You and I’ll just use a little patience Said sugar take the time ‘Cause the lights are shining bright You and I’ve got what it takes to make it We won’t fake it, Oh never break it ‘Cause I can’t take it …little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah, Need a little patience, yeah Just a little patience, yeah Some more pati… (ence, yeah) I’ve been walking these streets at night Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah) It’s hard to see with so many around You know I don’t like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah) And the streets don’t change but maybe the name I ain’t got time for the game ‘Cause I need you (Patience, yeah) Yeah, yeah well I need you Oh, I need you (Take some patience) Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need) Ooh, this ti- me…
