I never hated it because the verses are beyond brilliant but the timing was so wrong for a song like that...
In the heart of Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, Metallica, Etc.... Jon's song has sha la la's in it. "When Chelsea girls sing shalalala" As a Bon Jovi fan, I wanted to bury my head in the dirt and come out when it was all over.
The song however has amazing lyrics throughout but no non-fan would ever know that....
I've seen a lone sloane ranger drive
Seems her chauffeur took a dive
And sold her secrets to the Sun
And later in a magazine
I finally figured what it means
To be a saint, not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
Chase their shadows in the dark
Someone's getting off tonight
A big red bus that's packed so tight disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's alright....
It's morning when I go to sleep
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Another day is coming on
A baby's born, an old man dies
Somewhere young lovers kiss good bye
I leave my soul and just move on
And wish that I was there to sing this song
