Default Blood Money

Hi @all!

I just found this great site and promptly registered myself. Well...I'm from Austria so please excuse my bad English...

I'm a Bon Jovi fan now for many years and my favourite album is Blaze of Glory. On this album there's the song Blood Money. It exists a long version of it, so I wantet to ask if someone has the lyrics of that song. Here's the song on youtube:
Greetings from Austria

Hello Austria and welcome!

This is what I have as far as the lyrics for this version go. I don't know if they're 100% correct but if they're not, I'm sure others on here will correct it.

Cheers!

Neil


Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you
They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my blood

But whatever happened to riding hard on a south wind
Whatever happened to us in the end
I called you amigo, I called you my brother
And Patty Garrett I called you my friend

But you say, this ain't about me and this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've gotta cause you can't walk away

Well once I thought nothing would come in between us
Once I thought honour and blood were the same
Whoever thought we’d let a cruel world defeat us
Whoever thought that these feelings would change

(Oh Patty I don’t know),
But this ain't about me and this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've gotta cause you can't walk away

Blood money, that's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave

One time I had a dream and in that dream was a coffin
Could not see the body, I could not see his face
When I saw no one crying and I saw no forgiveness
I knew the name Bonney would be marked on that grave

Blood money
Bought and then sold you
'Cause money for blood it ain't no fair exchange
Blood money, that's what I call it
But Patty, you can’t take it to your grave

I think it may only have been done live?

The problem is-as far as I know-that Jon has sung it only one time. In 1990...but I can be wrong....

Those Rockline guys are selling their archive shows. They don't have this one up yet but maybe if someone asks for it?

I have the MP3 and it's really a shame that the official version is more like a radio edit. The full version is an all out classic. If someone has a web account I will gladly post it to share.

Ciao,

Mikey

I have the longer/alternate version on an MP3 - sound quality sounds like it's from a radio show or something. It's awesome. Would've been cool to have had the longer version played at the shows too, but I'm not complaining about hearing it at all - especially as Jon probably doesn't even remember there is a longer version...lol.
