Guns N' Roses - You Can't Put You Arms Arround A Memory Lyrics






[spoken]
This one's for you Johhny

It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean, I didn't try
I just never know, why

It's isn't 'cause I'm all alone
Oh, baby, you're not home
And when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone

It's so restless, I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense, down 'side my bones
And even though it don't show
Those guys are so old
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't try

You're just a basket case
And you got no name
Could you live with me?
Go on and say
And even though it don't show
Those guys are so old

Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't try

[spoken]
Johnny you're me
Yeah, you're memory
I wanna put my arms around your memory

I can't try...
I can't try
Don't try

  10. s.... b....

    This was horrible. I love GNR but this does not sound like them at all.

    s.... b....

    sha broussard They covered a FEAR song on this album as well. Either I don’t care about you or I love living in the city. FEAR was a great Punk band. YouTube both songs they performed on Decline of Western Civilization. You won’t regret it!

  14. S.... U....

    Yeah this sucks...I really expected better from GnR...I'll stick to the original for now.

    S.... U....

    Shut up pig

    S.... U....

    That’s the point it ain’t afd

    S.... U....

    Sushi Uchiha You can rarely beat the original

    S.... U....

    Let's settle this responsibly, haters don't listen to this song, gnr fans love and listen the shit out of it.

  15. G.... W....

    I loved Axl's voice. But I also liked it when Izzy or Duff would get to sing a couple.

  16. H.... L....

    Duff is a legend. Miss 90s gnr. I pretty much still live there tho..

    H.... L....

    Izzy Stradlin was already gone by 1993 "The spaghetti incident". So not real GNR for me.
    By 1995 Axl fired *all* the band.
    No new album till 2008 with Axl solo band! Even worse "not real GNR".
    Only 2 albums in a decade, as Illusion is a double album.

    1990s GNR were, arguably, pretty poor.

    They were completely absent for most of the 1990s.

    Slash, OTOH is a worker, he never stopped working, Snakepit, Velvet revolver, etc.

    *Convince me I'm Wrong.*

  17. a.... v....

    Este temita a John Lennon Sisi,un lento bien dulzón ,un buen rock AND roll! Con poco más de power!

  18. J.... d....

    Nice & awesome song. 😎

  19. e.... m....

    Jhonny thunders 🎤🎼🎸🎙..rip

  20. D.... ....

    This version is pretty gay

    D.... ....

    @Dutchies4301 why are you listening to this album again? 🤨

    D.... ....

    treytown530 you gay

    D.... ....

    This does sucks...I really expected better from GnR

    D.... ....

    @Sushi Uchiha can you do it better? 😏 I await the link...

  21. M.... K....

    I love Duff's voice !

  22. T.... ....

    Patience???

    T.... ....

    It's a cover of Johnny Thunders' You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory which was written and released in 1978...10 years before 1988's Patience

    T.... ....

    @Jason Harshman I know but the starting of the song really look like Patience.

    T.... ....

    Possibly the same guitar and tuning

    T.... ....

    @TM'Fn'SL wtf no

  23. s.... d....

    duff is gay

    s.... d....

    Ur moma is gay

    s.... d....

    Por qué lo dices te cogió o que

    s.... d....

    O le diste unas mamadas

    s.... d....

    What a shame you cant admit you are, instead you go around accusing others to be.
    They say people who go around accusing others to be really are gay themselfs or confused? Duff is straight. Have you read his bio? Wife, two daughters.

    s.... d....

    I'm gay for cock and balls

  24. A.... S....

    Clap, clap, clap! Duff lives! "Like" from Brazil!

    A.... S....

    i bet this band had goneria a few to many times...

  25. k.... ....

    L.A.M.F

    k.... ....

    Great Johnny thunder/heartbreakers albums but pity this song was on none of them.

    k.... ....

    @Greg ferris It's on Johnny's solo album So Alone. Its solid from start to finish.

  26. T.... N....

    New York Fucking Dolls!!! Johnny Thunder's RIP.

  27. I.... D....

    Duff did Justice to this song!
