[Susan Foreman]

The 7th song on Goes To Hell is 'Guilty' and it is my favourite song on the album - it's the source for my signature at the bottom of my posts!

It's an autobiographical song. The line, "I'm a dirt-talkin', beer drinkin', woman chasin' minister's son" describes Cooper before he went into rehab for alcoholism. It's also one of the few songs which Alice censors - when performed live, he tends to change the line "It seems the law's on my ass every time I stick it out of the door" to "It seems the law's on my trash every time I stick it out of the door"

07/11 - Guilty (Cooper, Wagner,Ezrin)



"Just tried to have fun
Raise hell and then some
I'm a dirt-talkin', beer drinkin', woman chasin' minister's son
Slap on the make-up
and blast out the music
Wake up the neighbors with a roar like a teenage heavy metal elephant gun

If you call that guilty then that's what I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty

Like driving too fast
Love going too far
It seems the law's on my ass every time I stick it out of the door
If you call that guilty then that's what I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty

Bad boy on a summer night
When the heat makes me mean and I wanna fight
With my pedal on the metal
And I do what I want to do
Bad girls make me feel all right
When it's hot and they start screaming in the light
Golly gee, it's wrong to be so guilty
Guilty
Guilty
I'm guilty

My conscience is on vacation
In acute degeneration
Willpower has sunk to all-time low

If you call that guilty, then I guess I am
I'm guilty, I'm guilty
I'm guilty, I'm guilty
I'm guilty, I'm guilty
I'm guilty
Well I'm guilty

Yeah I'm guilty
I don't care
I'm guilty
I think I've been framed anyway
They said I'm guilty
I'm guilty
They're guilty and everyone is guilty

"I was scared to death, afraid to close my eyes
And find that I was gone
Like every other one who left before the dawn
I vanished in the air
Am I still there

Wake me gently if you can
Wake me gently, just touch my hand
Wake me gently, pull my sleeve
'Cause where I'm at is where I want to leave

And in my sleep I look so lifeless on this bed
Laid out on satin sheets
This dream's a novel that I don't dare complete
No happy endings read
I think the hero's dead

Wake me gently if you can
Wake me gently, just touch my hand
Wake me gently, pull my sleeve
'Cause where I'm at is where I want to..

Leave me to my slumber
And I'll never come home
Please help me, I'm frightened
Of what's going on (What's going on)

And if I can't wake up will I be all alone
A stranded orphan here
Or will I bump into some other wandering soul
And will they talk to me
Somebody, somebody please rescue me

Wake me gently if you can
Wake me gently, just touch my hand
Wake me gently, pull my sleeve
'Cause where I'm at is where I want to leave
I wanna leave
I wanna leave
I wanna wake up
I wanna leave
I don't wanna stay
I wanna leave
I wanna go
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Just wake me up
I wanna go home
Wake me up please
'Cause I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Wake me
Wake me
