cradle to the grave

• (bkz: cradle 2 the grave)
• motörhead'in rock n' roll albümünden bir şarkı.
  
  ain´t so bad, ain´t so bad, could´ve been a loser
  ain´t so bad, ain´t so bad, rather be a boozer
  standing at the crossroads, see where the wind blows
  following the white line, following my nose
  you´ve been living on a razor´s edge, soon as you learned to shave
  make sure you live, be a long time dead
  cradle to the grave
  
  ain´t too good, don´t look good, but it´ll get worse
  don´t look good, don´t feel good, it´s gonna take years
  life drives you nuts, babe, ´cos you ain´t certain
  kicks you in the guts, babe, and leaves you hurting
  don´t matter up or down, sideways, in or out
  if it makes you feel good, do it, and then get out
  don´t spend your life on your own bed
  cradle to the grave
  
  ain´t so bad, ain´t so bad, could´ve been a junkie
  ain´t so bad, ain´t all bad, could´ve had a monkey
  
  you can´t take it with you, not even if you earn it
  so find out what you need babe, then you´d better learn it
  it don´t matter who you are, millionaire or whore
  just get out and scrape that jar, that´s what they´ve got it for
  you´ve been living on a razor´s edge, one way to behave
  make sure you do it, it´ll cut you dead
  cradle to the grave
• alter bridge'in yepyeni albümü the last hero'nun ağır toplarından... sound olarak ab'nin ilk albümü one day remains'e en yakın şarkısıdır. myles & mark babalar kendi içlerinde nostalji yapmışlar... albümün en iyi şarkılarından biri kesinlikle. hatta en iyisi...
  
  sözleri için:
  
  mother, tell me,
  i long to hear the stories
  just like long ago
  all these memories
  start to fade before me
  i cannot let them go
  no, i can't let them go
  
  from the cradle to the grave
  it's a fear i can't escape
  where would be my hiding place
  when you're gone?
  
  father, stay here,
  don't leave me like the other
  no, i need you so
  all you gave me
  father, how you loved me
  treated like your own
  don't ever let me go
  
  from the cradle to the grave
  it's a fear i can't escape
  where would be my hiding place
  when you're gone?
  
  there's no way to deny
  the brevity of life
  
  as time keeps marching on
  all we have is lost
  
  as time keeps marching on
  all we have is lost
  
  nothing lasts forever
  nothing stays the same
  
  from the cradle to the grave
  it's a fear i can't escape
  where would be my hiding place
  when you're gone?
  
  from the cradle to the grave
  it's a fear i can't escape
  where would be my hiding place
  when you're gone?
  
  how am i to carry on?
  how am i to carry on?
  as time keeps marching on
  how am i to carry on?
  all we have is lost
  
  nothing lasts forever
  nothing ever stays the same
