The General and Monsters

The General

Daddy don't
I swear I won't
I'll be good from now on and I'm awful sorry
Daddy don't
The hell I won't
I won't be good anymore and you'll all be sorry

Can anybody tell me why the pain, it just won't stop
Can anybody help me, the pain it just won't stop

My only regret
Is that I never took the time to forgive
All those unspoken feelings
That were never spared
And those who understand
And lack self respect
And not just sordid meaning

x2

Don't know what to tell you now
It's never really what they tell you now
You oughta know what they tell you now
And not really what they tell you now
Don't know what to tell you now
It ain't really what they tell you now
Don't go where they tell you now
It ain't really what they tell you now

My only regret
Is that I never took the time to forgive
All those unspoken feelings
That were never spared
And those who understand
And lack self respect
And not just sordid meaning
Is that I never took the time to forgive

Monsters

The monsters in hell with me

A Tour da force of an evil passion
A broken heart that was out of fashion
A dynamic duo in your big attraction
My early warning was your satan laughing

I was there for you
It’s all I could do
Oh but it’s over now
Oh but it’s over now

The monsters in hell with me

You stole my soul with the devils romancing
All alone when your bedroom dancin’
I thought I could feel somebody worth havin’
But in the end I guess you’re good for the damin’

I was there for you
It’s all I could do
Oh but it’s over now
Oh but it’s over now

The monsters in hell with me

The more I did what I did I did for you
There’s no excuses for the hell on earth you put me through
I never cared how much I cared but I cared for you
To make it better there was nothing that I wouldn’t do
I doubt there’s anybody living who wants to know the truth
The dirty secret that you hid away inside of you
Whoever thought I’d be around to shed a light on you
Well heres the story baby I got nothing else to do

I was there for you
It’s all I could do
Oh but it’s over now
Oh but it’s over now

Thanks to Mon Rom (Dondanov) for help with the ranting part In the second half of the song and Gagarin, Moneychow and Dark for some corrections on the parts I could not figure out.

Great job Dave. (and dondanov and gagarin, moneychow, and dark)

Monsters by itself would make a great radio single

It certainly sounds like Slash on “Monsters”. Assuming Slash and Duff put their own finishing touches on them like they did with the other releases. Also guessing we got these leaks yesterday because they were supposed to be released before the delay, so somebody decided they’d share what they had. So this is what we’ll get on 12/8, albeit touched up more to their liking. But I wouldn’t expect much more than that.
We aren't getting these. The General and Monsters is registered as 1 song on SESAC. So that sounds like a completely reworked and combined version. I don't see how hoarders would have access to Slash versions of songs that only exist in Axls home studio.

I guess that’s possible. But if that’s the case, maybe someone close to the band is behind this? It just seems coincidental that the song(s) that were supposed to ship yesterday got leaked after the shipping delay. Maybe an intentional peace offering to hold us over?

Not sure if this means anything but they’re discussing these leaks on HTGTH. I thought in the past any discussion about leaks was forbidden. I could be wrong though.

Daddy don't!
(I swear I won't!)
I'll be good from now on - and I'm awful sorry.

(The hell I won’t!)
I won't be good anymore - and you'll all be sorry.

Can anybody help me with this pain?
It just won't stop!
Can anybody help me?
This pain - it just won't stop!

My only regret
is that I never took the time to forget (forgive???)
all those unspoken feelings
that you’ll never spare. (that we’ll never share???)
And those who understand it
have your respect (have no something??)
and not your sordid meaning. (a new distorted meaning??

Don't know what to tell you now - it's never really what they tell you now.

Great job on the lyrics.

That makes me wonder...out of all the bullshit General lyrics over the past 20 years, I wonder if any of them had some of the real lyrics?

I guess there's no way to ever really know.

they’re discussing these leaks on HTGTH. I thought in the past any discussion about leaks was forbidden. I could be wrong though.

If he stopped discussion on this set of leaks right now it would probably kill what is left of his forum.

They're probably coming out soon anyways...so why not let them discuss it?

ha feel free to piggyback off mine and make any chances you think I got wrong.
I just did a couple of passes on it. Some could be off.

reading the lyrics, I could see how its a sequel to Estranged, because in estranged its pretty much losing the love of his life, and in the general and monsters is him pretty much being in a dark place bc of it, and almost giving up and in the monsters section, its almost like he is in hell because he off'd himself.

It would be interesting to try and breakdown the lyrics.

The Monster part of the song also fits really well with the since I dont have you video

Monster is good, the general is so bad lyrically. What a disappointment.
I love Monsters. The General is growing on me. Monsters far more memorable though. I forget what The General sounds like as soon as it's over. But while I'm listening to The General, I do enjoy it.

The General has surpassed TIL as the biggest disappointment of the big guns.

Monster is a good song. But if this is truly the quality of the vault it speaks volumes regarding UMG stance on cd2.

Why pay the expenses on marketing and promotion for this quality ?

We may never of had these songs distributed to the masses if not for Slash and Duff returning.

If CD was to Contraband
CD2 is to Liberated.
