毒藥算是屬於硬式搖滾的團,雖然由成名到近乎解散只有短短6年,但也留下許多不朽的作品.
這首歌創作的動機是主唱Bret Michaels因為樂團逐漸走紅,與女友見面次數越來越少,最後終致分手的情形下寫的...
當初灌錄這首EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORN時,唱片公司並不看好,沒想到,最後竟成為毒藥的第一首,也是最後一首冠軍曲,
在1990年發表第三張專輯Flesh and Blood之後,就因為內部失和,吉他手C. C. Deville離開,就已名存實亡了!
歌詞如下:
Every rose has its thorn/Poison
We both lie silently still in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
I listen to your favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say
love's a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say instead of making love
We both made our separate ways
Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
音樂開始前的嘆息,更是讓人深深感到無奈....
