I really like the lyrics in She's A Mystery but the song itself is pretty boring and doesn't get played much. I love Mystery Train however. I also think Joey is one of the best songs on Bounce and prefer it to Right Side Of Wrong.

I feel Wildflower is simply a ripoff of Mystery Train and it's among my least favorites on Have A Nice Day along with Complicated but that's another thread all together...

Need I remind you that the "Worst Bon Jovi song ever" title is reserved EXCLUSIVELY for (I Don't Wanna Fall) to the Fire. She's a Mystery is good, IMO, though I'd agree about killing the flow of Crush.

Interesting. I wouldn't go that far but Bongo and I have had many conversations on how alike Mystery Train, She's a mystery, and Wildflower are, lyrically speaking, the same song. It's something Jons been doing the last few years, a certain way of writing songs and it keeps popping up.

Yes, that was my main point, how similar all those songs are lyrically. Neurotica also has the same feel in the lyrics but because that is a rock song, I believe the similarity goes unnoticed. Neurotica is one of my favorites however.

I think some of the lyrics in Wildflower are good but like She's A Mystery on Crush, it doesn't get played much on it's own and I think it kinda stalls the pace of the album being right after Bells Of Freedom. I do like how it begins and ends with the same line however.

Me too! That's my favorite part of the song but I actually really like Wildflower.

No one can defend She's a Mystery or Save the World. They're both just pure shite.
