Sunset Strip Lyrics


Sitting here on top of the world
I’ve got everything I ever need form this world
Oh, tonight
I got it right
Just one time
Cruising down the Sunset Strip
And there is nothing that’s not
That’s not within my grip
But tonight I can fly
I can fly, yeah
Look at me for the very last time
I’ve climbed so high
I’ve got no place left to climb
Man, I know no tomorrow
Oh, rock star, pop star
Everybody dies
All tomorrow’s parties
They have happened tonight

And I know that I won’t see tomorrow
Sitting on the Hollywood sign
Watching the girls get off the bus
Watching the danger in their eyes
And they leave with broken hearts
They’re shredded valentines
I came here from a dirty, dark street
There was no one there to protect me
To make the nightmares go away
It has to sparkle
It has to shine
So hollow
Look at me for the very last time
I’ve climbed so high
I’ve got no place left to climb
Man I know no tomorrow
Oh, rock star, pop star
Everybody dies
All tomorrow’s parties
They have happened tonight
And I know that I won’t see tomorrow
Turn off all the porno please
Been drowning here for days
Bad food, bad sex
Bad TV, Internet
Take all these stupid pills away
Flying down the Boulevard
I’m coming down so fast
I’m coming down so hard
And the doctor said
I can’t stop all those voices in your head
And I don’t sleep I never dream
And to shut them up
Now I just keep screaming
I run away, it’s the last time
It’s the last time
Look at me for the very last time
I’ve climbed so high
I’ve got no place left to climb
Now I know no tomorrow
Before the sparkle in my eyes turns to strychnine
While this beating heart is still a valentine
I’m gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off
'Coz girls like me
We always get what we want
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Diamond hard promises and million dollar pills
All the nights we wasted in the Hollywood hills
'Coz we know we’re too good for tomorrow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yesterday’s girl or tomorrow’s hot teens
Were you jerking off to her or were you jerking off to me?
And I know that I won’t know tomorrow
Yeah, you want my massive power
You want my throw-it-all-away
I’m throwing them out
It’s a wonder that you wait
Lawsuits, diamonds, guns 'n' rubies
Baby au revoir
You rock 'n' roll bitches
You can do what you want
You were made for me
And I was made for you
With the keys to the Bel-Air, the Chateau too
Your little sugar-coated world
It is rotten to the core
I didn’t know you were born without a soul
I’ve got voices screaming in my head
Are you jerking off in your bed?
It’s not punk, it’s not cool
It’s not even boring
And it’s not Eminem who’s gonna save me
It’s a real life they tried to steal my soul
I got pills when I’m famous
I got pills when you’re old
I got pills 'coz I’m blonde
I got pills 'coz you’re dead
I got pills 'coz I am the worst and best dressed
I got pills 'coz I feel more than 21
I got pills 'coz I know baby you’re not the one
I got pills for my coochie 'coz baby I’m sore
I got pills 'coz you’re fat
I got pills 'coz I’m bored
Cruising down the Sunset Strip
And there is nothing that’s not
That’s not within my grip
Oh, tonight I got it right
Just one time

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

[1] Courtney Love (born Courtney Michelle Harrison on July 9, 1964) is the lead singer, lyricist, and rhythm guitarist for the alternative rock band Hole. Love is also a solo artist, an occasional model and actress. Love was born in San Francisco, California to psychotherapist Linda Carroll and Hank Harrison, a short-lived manager for The Grateful Dead.

Love began her professional music career with a brief stint as the lead singer of Faith No More in the 1982. Shortly, she was kicked out of the band, due to the band wanting a male singer. Three years later, she formed an all-female pop-rock band called Sugar Babydoll with Kat Bjelland and Jennifer Finch, and later - also with Bjelland - the Pagan Babies. Love had greater early success as an actress, appearing as the best friend of Nancy Spungen in Alex Cox’s Sid Vicious biopic Sid and Nancy in 1986, and in Cox’s Straight to Hell in 1987, as well as small roles on television episodes.

Returning to music in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Love claims she co-founded the all-female rock band Babes in Toyland with Kat Bjelland in 1987, but others deny it;. Acrimony between Love and Bjelland led to Love’s quick exit from the band. The band’s biographer claims she stole house receipts to a Butthole Surfers concert. In 1989, Love formed her own band, Hole, with guitarist Eric Erlandson. The band’s 1991 debut album garnered little critical or popular attention in the United States but was celebrated in the influential British alternative-music press. Already a star in England, Hole’s fortunes improved considerably wtih Love’s marriage to Kurt Cobain and the publicity about Cobain’s death.

Unpopular with some Nirvana fans (comparisons to Yoko Ono were made early on and persist to this day), Love’s image was further tarnished by a 1992 article in Vanity Fair entitled “Strange Love,” in which she admitted to using heroin in the early stages of pregnancy. As a result, Child Welfare Services briefly investigated the Cobains’ fitness as parents. Love claims to this day that she was misquoted, saying she had told author Lynn Hirschberg that she had stopped using it once she learned she was pregnant.

Like Axl Rose, Love was ridiculed in the press for her abrasive, sometimes erratic behavior, such as cursing at paparazzi and publicly harassing Cobain’s former girlfriend, folksinger Mary Lou Lord.

Shortly before the release of Hole’s breakthrough album Live Through This in April 1994, Cobain committed suicide. Love read his suicide note at a televised memorial a few days later, sobbing hysterically and alternately cursing her husband as a “fucking asshole” and pleading with him to come back. Hole's bassist Kristen Pfaff died of drug overdose two months later. She was replaced by Melissa Auf Der Maur later that year.

Love was a fashion trend-setter. In her early career, she modelled a “kinderwhore” look, which she was accused of having ripped off from Bjelland, although other sources suggest that the ripoff was in fact in the opposite direction. Love stated that the look was inspired by Christina Amphlett of 1980s rock group The Divinyls, most famously in a lengthy phone message recorded and subsequently released by The Muffs, who had ironically titled their album Blonder and Blonder after a sarcastic quote by Love regarding lead singer Kim Shattuck. Love’s style has since evolved, and she has modeled for more sophisticated designer labels.

Love received considerable acclaim for her role as Larry Flynt’s wife, Althea, in Milos Forman’s 1996 film The People vs. Larry Flynt, opposite Woody Harrelson as Flynt. She was also praised for her supporting role in the 1998 Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon, which starred Jim Carrey as Kaufman. Other notable film credits include Basquiat, 200 Cigarettes, and Feeling Minnesota.

Love released solo album ‘America’s Sweetheart’ in 2004, which contained a lot of collaborative work with Brody Dalle of The Distillers. She has now resurrected the Hole name and is due to release a new album ‘Nobody’s Daughter’ in 2010; this album contains some tracks from the never released album ‘How Dirty Girls get Clean’. Courtney Love is the only surviving original member in the new Hole line up.

[2] Courtney Love is also the name of a band with Lois Maffeo and Pat Maley (Yoyo Recordings Founder). There are multiple explanations for the name, but this was before Love herself became famous. The duo would release three well-regarded 7” singles on K Records and a few compilation tracks, but no albums. They disbanded on 1991.
