You Could Be Mine - what is this song about?

[jungledemocracy]

As were on the subject of lyrics n shit, it got me thinking. does anyone know what the telephone/speaking bit in knockin on heavens door is about? i think its sommat like

You just better start sniffin' your own
rank subjugation jack 'cause it's just you
against your tattered libido, the bank and
the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't
be luck if you could get out of life alive

i mean what is all that about????  it doesnt seem to fit in with the rest of the song at all

doesn't anyone read the booklet thing?

[LetMeHearItNow...]

doesn't anyone read the booklet thing?

Is the quote from KOHD explained in the booklet?  If so, I must've missed it or didn't understand it.  If anyone could shed some light on what that quote means or is referring to it would be greatly appreciated.

Grazie.

 

[The Devil You Know]

I believe that talking part of the song KOHD comes from the movie "Days of Thunder" where that song originally came from, off the soundtrack for that movie...not totally sure though, but I do remembering buying the tape to that soundtrack back in the day only for that song, as did I for Civil War on that Nobody Cares Relief Album I believe it was called. But anyways I think that, that's where that talking part came from, the movie, but not 100% on that. Hope that helped you a little 

[LetMeHearItNow...]

Thank you sir.  Does anyone else know anything on that?

[Ruiner]

its about picking a pet in an animal shelter, like when you cant make your mind up becauase their all so cute n fat ? you no ?

ehem

[R521973]

"With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocanie tongue you get nothing done"

That is written on the inside of Appetite For Destruction

So it had to be written before 87

its a quote from Lethal Weapon

[GNRForever10]

You could be mine is all about a woman hooked on cocaine and heroin and resiliant to the love of others. But I know something deep!--Think about You--- is all about the first time Axl and Izzy tried METH! Listen to the chords and ''It's funny how I never felt so High'' What a great metaphoric jam that is totally underlooked!
