Power ballad week?

What's a Power Ballad?
1. It's a rock song
2. It's a *slow* rock song
3. It's usually sentimental/emo
4. It's awesome to build up your emo-ness then release it all out at the final chorus

example:

Nickelback - Far Away:

Bon Jovi - Always:

That kind of made me dig up my collection of power ballads (which I actually still listen to them quite frequently. They're nice, who cares if I'm emo or not when I'm listening?).

So here's mine.. may I present to you...

Bon Jovi's..
Bed of Roses




Sitting here wasted and wounded on this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment,
This morning I don't know
'Cuz a bottle of Vodka's still lodged in my hand
Some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies they won't make up me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist, I wake up and French-kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking
About all the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, and what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down...
On a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away, each step I take's on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes
and whisper,
Baby, blind love is true..

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
On a bed of roses

While this hotel bar hangover whiskeys gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's given me the eye
I might have said 'yeah'
But I laughed so hard I think I've died
Ooh-yeah..

Now as you close your eye, know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down....
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down......
On a bed of roses
