• Song Review

  "You'd think he was talking about a woman, but I think he's talking to us. He gave us everything, and we turned our backs on him. Am I getting too philosophical? Let me know and I'll stop. Maybe he's just talking about Slash. Ooh, I love the bridge on this one. Actually, scratch my previous musings: he's talking about a girl. Just look at the acronym the song title makes. Man, there's like six guitar solos on this one!" —The National PostThe National Post: Live blog: Listening to Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy for the first time (November 20, 2008)

• First Verse

  • Broken glass and cigarettes,
  • writing on the wall,
  • it was a bargain for the summer,
  • and I thought I had it all.
  • I was the one who gave you everything,
  • the one who took the fall,
  • you were the one who would do anything,
  • the one who can't recall.

• Chorus

  • Oh, i would do anything for you,
  • There was a time,
  • I would do anything for you,
  • Oh, i would do anything for you,
  • There was a time.
