lyrical questions help
 

Hi,guys!!!!!!! I'm new here and i wanna to understand some lyrics!I hope you can help.
I need help with explanation of this lyrics:
Bed of roses
1) trying hard to capture the moment this morning i don't know
2) with the ironclad fist i wake up
and french kiss the morning
3) while some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
4) i sleep on a bed of nails
5) a king's ransom in dimes
6) to see throught this payphone
7) till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
the hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
9) wig's crooked

It's my life
1) faith-departed
2) stood their ground
3) luck ain't even lucky
4) calling you out

"faith departed" means you've lost belief or hope in something, probably love

"stood their ground" - didn't give in to something/someone

"luck ain't even lucky" - not sure about this line, but probably referring to "make your own break", you can't rely on luck

"calling you out" - offering you a fight

1) trying hard to capture the moment this morning i don't know
2) with the ironclad fist i wake up
and french kiss the morning
3) while some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
4) i sleep on a bed of nails
5) a king's ransom in dimes
6) to see throught this payphone
7) till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
the hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
9) wig's crooked


1, trying to put into words how he feels like that morning.
2, ironclad fist - tension, frech kiss the morning - yawning
3, marching band- headache from a hang over.
4, bed of nails, life is difficult
5, would give a large amount of money
6, to be able to see the person through the phone
7, birds sit on telephone wires.
8, hotel bar has run empty.
9, fake hair

well thats how I see it.

Dawn

Thanks!
help me please with this:
1)blind love is true
2)blonde gave me nightmares
3)I want to be just close as the Holy Ghost is
But where is Holy Ghost?

1) Love is only true when unconditional
3) Holy Ghost = Holy Spirit i.e. to be as close would be to be in their heart

Thanks,but 2)blonde gave me nightmares?

the complete line would be "and some blond gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed"
I'd say he slept with a blonde girl and has a bad dream about her still lying in his bed. (But I'm not a native speaker either, so maybe I'm wrong)

Nightmares are very bad dreams - and I'm sure Jon has had a few blonde women give him bad dreams over the years.

but could be nightmares which gave blonde in meaning bad sex???????

How about getting an English dictionary? Most of the lyrics you're asking about are just basic English phrases.
