Lyrics for Bold as Love as interpreted by stevea2323

Bold as Love Lyrics
Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on

But they're all bold as love
Yeah they're all bold as love
They're all bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war
Andribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go-round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frigthened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

But I'm bold as love
Yeah I'm bold, bold as love
I'm bold as love
Just ask the axis (he knows everything)

I wasn't epecting much from this cover, but I was pleasantly surprised. He actually does a really good job, and it still fits in with the rest of the album. I can't believe I'm just starting to realize how talented this guy is, I had always sort of written him off because of his more poppy songs.

I didn't know this was a cover. Whose is it? Yup, it's different from the other songs...I get surprised at times because it comes after "Slow Dancing...", which is sort of mellow, the suddenly John semi-shouts "Anger". Haha

Could the reason that John Mayer covered this song was because both John Mayer and Jimi Hendrix have synesthisia?

Woooooow. Whoever doesn't know this is a cover needs to listen to Jimi's version ASAP! It'd be hard to appreciate this song without hearing it from the genius himself. But John kills this song (kill in a positive connotation =) His guitar solos are too amazing for words. But I get completely different feelings from his version than Jimi's. Just ask the axis can mean whatever you want it to mean. In Jimi's I think of the axis as some kinda higher power but in John's I'm not sure...

to DJ Hooner, could the reason that both Jimi Hendrix and John Mayer do this be because they are both rediculously amazing at guitar

umm.....bold as love, where the light is: CRAAAAAAAZY!! wow the key change after john's corny (but so true!) verbal break just about caused me to lose my body and elevate my soul to a different world. words don't describe this. that's why john recorded it: so you can HEAR it. telling you about this song is about equivalent to showing a playboy to a blind man: it just doesn't work.

LISTEN TO IT!!!!

Great cover, 'bold as love' as to represent the bright euphoric colors that depict the emotional spectrum, and how everbody has a degree of each.
'And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from Giving my life to a rainbow like you'
'Just ask the axis' is a great lyric as it uses the metaphor for war and the enemy, the axis.
How can we stand so bold against great odds, the fight for love when you don't even know why you're being so bold to begin.
