Lyrics for Under The Bridge as interpreted by sawg

Under The Bridge Lyrics
Under The Bridge
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of cities
Lonely as I am, together we cry, we cry, we cry

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, ohh, ohh, oh, oh

I drive the streets, cos he's my companion
I walk through the fields, cos he know who I am
He sees my good deeds and he kisses me windy
I never worry now that is a lie

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, ooh, oh
One time, two time, three time, four time

It's hard to believe there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have his love, the city he loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, eh, oh

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that dat
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way

they fucked my favourite song of all time. If you read the original lyrics this piece of crap is laughable. Anthony Kiedis Refers to the city of angels (LA) as a girl, not because he misses a girl, but because his best friend (hillel Slovak) died of a drug overdose and he saw it as a low point of his life

In the original he says ' I walk through the hills cos she knows who i am' he means california hills, He says 'one time' before the chrous because the hills knew him once but now hes shunned. WHAT THE FUCK is it with these four bimbo's going 'one time, two time, three time, four time'?????!?!?!?!!@?!@

Then come along these four teenybopper bitches who not only completely destroy the message of the song but turn it into some pop piece of garbage. Whats next? Britney spears singing black by pearl jam? the spice girls singing lightning crashes by live?? This crapitalisation of music has got to stop

WHY? WHY? WHY? what is the point this is just a pure insult. Next week we are going to have Lateralus covered by S clun juniors who have put a dance to it and do a video with them running through a shopping mall getting loads of kids to dance with them, this is just pop manufacturers trying to squeeze money out of a classic like all the sex pistols, compilations being released right now. ITs destroying music, i mean i heard people at my school saying things like this is a good song by all saints completely oblivious to the original

You want my opinion read my first post to this god awful piece of shit. Just thought id bring a quote by Anthony kiedis-

Q- What did you think of All-SAints covering Under the Bridge?

AK- It was kinda funny. They were so preety and clean and manicured, to me it looked like they had no idea what they were singing about , because the song is about such a dark time

This song is a tribute to the late Hillel Slovak.. The best friend Anthony had, who tragically died.. It relates to what anthony regards as the lowest point in his life, when he and his drug contact went into L.A gang territory and went under their bridge to try their heroin..

Sick! It is so disgusting to have teenyboppers attempting (and screwing up) a beautiful song by a wonderful band. It's wrong!

Definitely. The original is my favorite song ever, and this version is a fucking travesty. This is like taking a piss over the mona lisa.

Covering this song just shows how amazingly ignorant this band is. They took a meaningful, heartfelt piece of art and turned it into a senseless, disposable piece of commercial shit. Want to know what the best thing about this is? this song has more posts than any of their other "songs". -- Even their fans realize that their work is meaningless, and the only people who have taken the time to comment on them are doing it cos they're offended by their desecration of a great song.

As for what's next, Michelle Branch recently covered "Heart-Shaped Box", one of the most meaningful and intelligent songs Kurt Cobain ever wrote.

I have to say that I don't think I've ever felt so sick in all my life as when I heard this. Apparently, how is happened was the Appleton sisters asked their producers to get them a rock beat for them to write some lyrics to, and he/she came back with this. When they heard it, and tried to write, they realised they liked it so much, they couldn't write anything to it, so just covered it instead. If they liked it so much they should've just left it! For fuck's sake! When something was as perfect as the original, you don't fucking mess with it! I can only hope that Anthony was trying for irony when he let them have the song. Silly boy!

As for the worst covers ever....I would have to say that if this doesn't get it, it'd have to be Take That doing Smells Like Teen Spirit. I wanna be sick just thinking about it!

I'm usually a huge fan of covers, but I have to say that this is one of the most disgusting pieces of crap I've ever heard. Pathetic. RHCP's version is one of the best songs ever written, so brilliant... I don't understand how All Saints can live with themselves after massacring this so horribly. This song does not deserve an up-beat, teeny bopper, shit tempo, and synthesized shitty voices, to go along with this. This song isn't a joke, whatsoever. IMO, All Saints has been extremely disrespectful with their cover of this song.

If anyone EVER told me that they liked this version better than the original, I would have to ask them what degree of mental retardation they have...

I agree! The All Saints or whatever the hell they are called simply SLAUGHTERED this song, and that's putting it lightly. The emotion and meaning Anthony poured into the song when he wrote it and when he sings it, is completely absent from this crap, this shit so awful I am actually ashamed to say this version of the song ever reached my ears.

haha after all these comments how shocking would it be if someone posted one saying 'OMFG I LUV DIS SONG ITZ WELL GD'. Not that I think that in any way... this song is a complete disgrace and is EVERYTHING thats wrong with music. RHCP write songs that are meaningful and brilliant - then crappy bands like this try to cover them and completely screw them up just for the money. I hope all their boobs jobs explode as punishment for this, thats all I can say.
