Catcher In The Rye Lyrics
Artist(Band):Guns N' Roses
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folks say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
(Guess I'd have more fun)
Oooh, the Catcher In The Rye Again
Won't let ya get away from him
(Tomorrow never comes)
It's just another day...
Like today
You decide
Cause I don't have to
And then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime
Or long hereafter
If the cold outside's
As I'm imagining
It to be
Oh, no
Lana nana na na na
Lana nana na nana
Ooh, the Catcher In The Rye Again
Won't let ya get away from him
(Tomorrow never comes)
It's just another day...
Like today
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folks say
And if they'd ever change
As that reminds to say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
Cause what used to be's
Not there for me
And ought to for someone
That belongs...
Insane...
Like I do
Oh, no
Not at all
On an ordinary day
Not in an ordinary way
All at once the song I heard
No longer would it play
For anybody
Or anyone
That needed comfort from somebody
Needed comfort from someone
Who cared
To be
Not like you
And unlike me
And then the voices went away from me
Somehow you set the wheels in motion
That haunt our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body
Took the body
You gave that boy a gun
You took our innocence
Beyond our stares
Sometimes the only thing
We counted on
When no one else was there

Review about Catcher In The Rye
GNR's best? | Reviewer: JMuth561@live.kutztown.edu | 6/14/09
This is a very painful song. It's got the crazy (and shocking) lyrics R.E.M. is so well known for, but still carries the same power as some of GN'R's best songs from the early 90s.
Sadly though, it hurts to hear so much about W. Axl Rose, when the song really is a collaboration of around a dozen artists from so many musical periods. The repeating verse with the extra 2 lines in its reprise symbolizes just how long it took to finish this album. Love never really dies, and neither does a good idea, but rather they get swept over over and over again...

For Christmas I first got the GNR Greatest Hits, which I really love. My aunt for Christmas gave me the GNR Chinese Democracy CD, and I fell in love with all of the music! I thought that I would only like the song "Better", but I listen to Catcher in the Rye and I thought that it was awesome! You ROCK GNR!

This song is pretty awesome, the first time you feel something in it, then you play it again and you start to crave it. I hope theres more of this from Axl. He is definately one of the great vocals of all time. Pland, Axl, Steve Perry. They have such voices, that you know who they are, no matter who they play with. I hope you make it GNR, I've missed the lyrics and the singing. Excellent job guys.
A smathering of everything | Reviewer: nathan | 11/2/08
Wow, well, definitely different. Almost sounds like Soundgarden with that guitar effect over the vocals, like a swirling organ. The lyrics are pure Axl, constructed pretty comfortably. The addition of electronic drums threw me off in the middle, but like it was reviewed earlier, it definitely takes elements of Queen in its composition. Sounds like a song that plays over the ending credits in any misc. movie in the mid-90's. I'm just glad to see something coming of this project.
too late | Reviewer: Fredderick quecksilber | 4/6/08
Back to the basics.
I still love it but i miss the old character.
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folks say
But every time I’d see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
dont take offence at my innuendo: queen
Axl Rose- Genius?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/11/08
this song is amazing, although it's not something you would like the first time you heard it. But after you listen to it a few times, you'll fall in love with Axl's new approach to this song, and that guitar solo is one of Brian May's best work yet. Coupled with There Was A Time, Better and The Blues, Chinese Democracy is going to make us forget there was an Old GnR and concentrate on the amazing talents of Axl and the new gang of Gn'R!!!
Wowzers | Reviewer: punkish88 | 12/4/07
I just heard this song for the first time. It's kinda weird and quirky and I sort of was mixed about it the first time. But, after listening the umpteenth time I have a new favorite song for 07. Is this album coming out soon? The song I heard sounds like it's done. Is there more new guns n roses stuff of this quality recording around. I searched around for at least an hour and only found stuff I've heard in the past, live stuff and obvious demo stuff. I can't believe there could be a new album from these guys soon and I can't believe it could be good. Does this mean the world is coming to an end?
Catcher In Rye - New Gnr | Reviewer: Soumyarya Mallick | 9/25/07
Its very tough to describe this song. Its different. The song doesnt follow a particular pattern.The lyrics are great.And as the theme of the song is "the making of unrequited love" , you often start to wonder the calibre of Axl Rose. At a time when everyone thought that axl rose is dead, here he is...he may be old ..but he is new. The song is very very soothing and touchy and makes you emotional. You are transported to a different world whenver you hear this song....rock on..rock on Axl!!! Rock on GnR and please release the album so that the whole could see that Axl is still the bloody best.
**Other fantastic songs from Chinese Democracy album are The Blues, Better, There was a time, Chinese Democracy, I.R.S
the last supper | Reviewer: blaise | 9/7/07
if you watch the version where it starts out with a black o being hung, little brothers become maryed and the roots as it is above so it is below becomes the secret arc.
did any one notice there wasnt an ash tray on the table. Theheh
Axl | Reviewer: matt | 8/28/07
I don't know but it seems to me that this song is more about axl than anything else, catcher in the rye is about a boy who essentially doesn't have to grow up (Axl maybe) this whole album or at least what I have heard so far seems to be a coming of age for Axl, his writing is alot more mature and at the age of 45 I think he is starting to grow up
