Guns N' Roses - Catcher In The Rye Lyrics
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
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
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
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)
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

GUNS AND ROSES CHINESE DEMOCRACY IS A BADASS ALBUM SUSAN HOLLOWAY BABY
Ladies and Gentilemen GUNS AND ROSES!!! CATCHER IN THE RYE. GODDAMN!!
— AMAZING GUITARWORK • INCREDIBLE VOCALS — #GnR
Who is here before their test about Catcher in the Rye?
Great song. Chinese Democracy is a fabulous album. Sad it didn't get the credit it deserves. Well written, well recorded and Axl's voice on point. Still one of my fave gnr compilations and anyone who knows anything about music, I'm sure will agree.
Gorgeous song
You guys need to put the demo version of this back on youtube. I enjoyed it more than this released track....
Another Illusion-like song. Everything works. Solid.
Not really
The demo is much better than this version
(The demo had bryan may!!!)
Foda-se
Nah, maybe May can be a legend but Bumblefoot really improved the solo
I love this book.
i prefer the 1999 version with brian may
Tonight-Ozzy
This album is a Masterpiece
RIP Lennon
Live forever
If this would’ve been the album that came out instead of the spaghetti incident back in 93 I think Guns N’ Roses will still be relevant. But don’t take this the wrong way I still believe Guns N’ Roses is one of the all-time greatest bands Lord knows all the previous albums are the soundtrack to my teenage years
Hey brother This is a masterpiece
I ❤ GNR
The original guitar solo was by Brian May, but Axl decided not to use it.
Yep. May was disappointed
No, Brian thought his solo was overproduced, so he decided to delete it
Madness Official are you sure? I thought he recorded it in 99, then in the final stages he saw that axl removed it. He said “shame. I was proud of it” at least that’s what I heard. You might be right
@Madness Official Yeah he's right. Brian May didn't know that his solo wasn't on the album. He came in to lay the solo on the track because Axl was having a tough time with the album so he called May and after they talked he did the original solo to "Catcher in the Rye" but Axl didn't use it.
4:13 onwards. Wow, that’s stunning.
En verdad amo está canción, siempre será de mis favoritas ❤
https://youtu.be/L5-Q4PK7K2k
So this is what axl broke up the greatest band in the world for eh? (meant light heartedly folks)
actually, the drug addicts quit
@Dillon Sparks lol
I'm in love with this album
Same it's so different from the others
@axl roses rocket queen right?? I really like If The World
@mia sameeee
2:10 , one of my favourite solos of all time.
1:50 my favorite part!! \m/
ok,what ever,nice piano
*Well done Axl.*
Love this entire album! Best voice ever!
By far better than the novel.
I wish things could have worked out differently for the original lineup years ago, but what's done is done. Disagree if you will, but Axl Rose is a creative genius. It took way too long to record this album because he's a perfectionist, probably even O.C.D. , but there are great lyrics on here !!!
Yes Axl is an underrated genius and i do firmly believe that
This song is still so good ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent song, Axl is brilliant.

Thank you so much
Guns and roses a melhor banda de rock do mundo , amo vcs caras , top dos tops
FUCKING BRILLIANT
This track sorts out the boomer brainwash that made me not read the book
I love song :3
♡♡♡
I like this song much more than the inspirational book
I fucking hate you all
@Meryn Rossiter lol phoney phone very nice
Did Mark Chapman (John Lennon’s murderer) listened to this track, considering it has the same title of his favorite book?
kikayei Hahahahah... You crack me up !
Bellend
I prefer the Brian May version. Cleaner guitar solos.
Slash version is best
Back ln 87 aahhahahaha
@Back ln 87 pfff hahahahhhq
@Lang Hansen Like.... you're mucking around, aren't you? WOULD BE SO DISAPPOINTED IF IT'S TRUE!
@Lang Hansen Yeah you're right. I checked via a search engine. It seems bizare. You seem to have sanitize what the event, because when you read the full quote apparently it's all based around 1 note when he was doing outtakes in the studio http://www.antimusic.com/news/11/march/25Why_Guns_N_Roses_Dropped_Queens_Brian_May_From_CD.shtml . I don't understand why they've done this, but at the end of the day I still prefer it to the final release version on the album. To be honest, I always felt the guitar solo sounded nice but a bit conservative. To me it's good enough despite the controversy. Thanks for showing me. Even after the emotion I had in my post, I feel ok about it to be honest. But why would anyone want to mess with Brian May? It's like telling Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic how to play tennis!
PS: It just shows you we can't have trust in anything!
I love this song
This is one of the best songs ever made
👊🎵🎶salve sociedade do rock
When i remember of the protagonist of the book and his life, it makes me feel sad for some reason, and the same with that music
Yeah well it's just American propaganda to make being a misfit feasible so I wouldn't worry about it... Just stop eating animals
@Meryn Rossiter I have started eating only domestic animals, like cats, and goldfish. Your fanaticism is all the excuse i needed to start catching squirrels from my yard and using their tails as feather dusters. Stop being douchey, save a few animals.
unmaker No squirrels where I am. You would have to toss possums, on the barbie , here
this album makes me with every next song i listen to sadder.why?lolit begins ok,but then you realized that all the songs sound like failed experiments crying for help.i can understand the urge to try new stuff out,but not so much at the same time.
Vomito Mentale I mean, Holden Caulfield might as well have been a failed experiment reaching for help, so its fitting.
Wow....Your comment makes you sound like an evil idiot
Vomito Mentale Your the wet blanket from hell
Vomito, I will vomito all over your commento b/c you are wrong. This is a good album.
catcher in the rye is a book every gangster should read, calling money not money but dough is really a neat trick
I couldn’t get into it. Kept waiting for something to happen but it doesn’t. All he does is complain and it’s considered a classic. Maybe I should read it again
❤❤❤❤❤
Just finished reading the book because of this song, it's a classic, I know, but I would have never reached for it, had it not been for GN'R - and I'm grateful for this. This song makes a fascinating epilogue btw.
Agreed. Currently reading the last chapter, nearly done with the book. I relate very well with Holden (Not the prostitute, drugs, drinking, or "sex" parts)
@Jacob Rice So none of the fun stuff?
@Richard Tucker LMAO
I also got into the book because of this song. Thank you to the one who commented the quote from Axl and his disliking of the book, I did not know that was his intentions with the song. I couldn’t disagree with him more though. Interesting enough, when I read the book the first time, I was 15 and related to the Holden character so much. Tried reading it again when I was in my early twenties and I couldn’t stand the main character. Thought he was to whiny and pessimistic all the time. Guess that shows what age can do to you. The book is genuinely annoying to me now.
To be fair Holden chickened out last minute with the prostitute
Wtf this is a really underrated song
@Kelly Schlegel read the book and you'll get the joke... maybe
@Tracey Powell I agree. The whole album is amazing and totally underrated
Fuck you ass, your ass is underrated . Flikker.
@Sage Antone bla bla la,...of course you know better as always. You prick.
@Sonia Sa it's not underrated but you think it is, so, pee on you fan ass ( \!/ )
