good to be alive

• slash'in efsane projesi slash's snakepit'in ilk albümündeki müthiş parça. şöyle bir klibi, şöyle bir kanlı canlı performansı; şöyle de eric dover'ın tatlılığından nasibini aldığı bir canlı performansı vardır.
  
  slash'in yaptığı her işe tapmışımdır ancak nedendir bilinmez slash's snakepit benim için hep daha özel olmuştur. belki de plansız, kirli ve eğlenceli haliyle gerçek slash'i yansıttığını gösterdiği içindir. bu parça da bunun kanıtlarından biri. ayrıca vokalleriyle eric dover' ı sevme nedenidir.
  
  you told me you're an orphan
  the same old standard line
  then when we moved in together
  all you did was moan and cry
  talkin' like you'd make it
  on life's big movie screen
  ı had to say ı loved you
  just to try and keep the peace
  
  hustler
  what are you doin' with your time
  ı'm slow to catch on
  but ı think you wasted mine
  you're running low tonight
  jack up and get it right
  you know you're going down
  ain't it good to be alive
  
  ı couldn't make excuses about
  everything you said
  you want to show your bruises
  let's throw a party for the band
  now here they come a dancin'
  like the powder to your nose
  why don't you cut your head off
  spite your face let's do the show
  
  tearing at the membrane
  of the first new thing in years
  found a nagging consolation
  ın a glass of everclear
  and the ugly truth has raped you
  they're saying you're a lousy lay
  but isn't everything that way
  
  ain't it good to be alive
  so good to be alive
