Rock of Ages Page #8

You think I slept with Stacee Jaxx?

You didn't?

I was in love with you.

Drew....

L.A. really isn't working out for me.

It's time to go home.

-Sherrie....

-What?

Sherrie, can we please just start over?

-Pretend nothing--

-I'm a stripper at the Venus Club.

I'm in a boy band.

You win.

No, wait.

Here.

This is something Wayne,

Ziff and I recorded last week.

That song l was writing.

The one about us.

Please...

...listen to it.

Sure.

We both lie silently still

In the dead of the night

Although we both lie close together

We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said

Or something l did?

Did my words not come out right?

Though I tried not to hurt you

Though I tried

-But I guess that's why they say

-But I guess that's why they say

-Every rose has its thorn

-Every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy

Sings his sad, sad song

Every rose has its thorn

Yeah, it does

Though it's been a while now

I can still feel so much pain

Like a knife that cuts you

The wound heals

But the scar

That scar remains

Yes, it does

I know l could have saved our love

That night

If l'd known what to say

Instead of making love

We both made our separate ways

And now l hear you've found

Somebody new

And that I never meant

That much to you

To hear that tears me up inside

And to see you cuts me like a knife

Oh, every

Every rose has its thorn

Oh, oh

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy

Sings his sad, sad song

Yeah

Every rose has its thorn

Oh, yeah

Every rose has its thorn

A**hole!

Swingin' so hard,

Forgot to lock the door

In walks her daddy,

Standin' six foot four

He said, "You ain't gonna swing

With my daughter no more"

Justice.

Stacee Jaxx. It's been too long.

--a sweet surprise

Tastes so good, make a grown man cry

So you see anything you like?

She's my cherry pie

Put a smile on your face 10 miles wide

Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye

Sweet cherry pie

Sweet cherry pie

How much to make my pain go away?

I just dance.

I like to dance.

Ten thousand.

Why not?

It's early morning, the sun comes out

Last night was shaking and pretty loud

My cat is purring and scratches my skin

So what is wrong with another sin?

The b*tch is hungry, she needs to tell

So give her inches and feed her well

More days to come, new places to go

I've got to leave, it's time for the show

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning,

It starts to shout

Desire is coming, it breaks out loud

Lust is in cages still storm breaks loose

I just have to make it with someone l choose

-The night is calling, I have to go

-The night is calling, I have to go

The wolf is hungry

-He runs the show

-He runs the show

He's licking his lips, he's ready to win

-On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

-On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

Are you ready, baby?

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

Rock you like a hurricane

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

-Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

-Here I am!

-Here I am!

We don't really want this.

Sherrie? What's wrong, honey?

I'm fine, I'm just a little...

...ruined.

I never should've come to L.A.

You ain't ruined, baby.

But you will be if you stay here.

It's not fame and fortune

you came looking for, Sherrie.

It's love.

And love left this place a long time ago.

Sherrie?

Someone dropped this off for you.

"Sometimes things that are lost

can be found again.

Don't stop believing. Love, Drew."

Rolling Stone. Also, we're closed.

Put Cinderella on the phone.

Are you talking about the fake person

with the stepmother?

She stuck her tongue in my ear.

She blew my world up.

Are you messing with me right now?

Is it someone that is trying to really

freak me out? Because it's working.

This goddess...

...she put a mirror up to Stacee Jaxx.

You're talking about Constance...

...not Cinderella, which--

I guess they sound similar.

Constance Sack.

Constance?

Put her on.

She's not here. She's at The Bourbon...

...in Los Angeles, and she's covering

Stacee Jaxx's first solo gig.

So you can go there and weird her out.

I have a gig?

Are you Stacee Jaxx?

Hello?

Great. That's not gonna make me feel

like I'm gonna get killed tonight.

People!

We must obey petty bureaucracy.

It's what separates us from the beasts.

Just remember the moves, right?

Remember the attitude.

And make sure that those

head mikes are turned off.

God forbid anyone hears

your actual voices.

Oh! Nice of you to show.

I don't understand why we can't sing.

It's better this way.

Less chance to screw up, right?

Wait. We're not singing?

All we gotta do is mouth the words.

-So we're lip-synching?

-Just relax.

It's done all the time.

Pretty soon everyone will do it.

Does Dennis know?

Don't worry your pretty little head about

Dennis. I'm saving his ass tonight.

All right, fellas? Come on. Let's go.

Everybody in.

As you can see,

this club is totally out of control.

But, Mitch, this ends tonight.

It's time we wiped the filth off the streets

of this great city.

The people of Los Angeles

are not gonna take it anymore.

-Powerful words from Patricia Whitmore.

-You! Mrs. Mayor!

Why are you so uptight?

You lot need to feel the wind of change.

Blow the cobwebs out of your gussets.

We built this city on rock 'n' roll.

-Right?

-Yeah, we did!

We built this city

My grandfather's father

built this city!

We built this city on rock 'n' roll

Built this city

How dare you!

We built this city on rock 'n' roll

Who counts the money

Underneath the bar?

Who rides the wrecking ball

Into our guitars?

Don't tell us you need us

'Cause we're the ship of fools

Lookin' for America

Crawlin' through your schools

We're not gonna take it

We built this city

No, we ain't gonna take it

We built this city

We're not gonna take it anymore

We built this city on rock 'n' roll

-We're not gonna take it

-We built this city

-No, we ain't gonna take it

-We built this city

We're not gonna take it anymore

We built this city on rock 'n' roll

Stacee Jaxx has just arrived...

...for his first solo show!

It seems history is no doubt about to be

made again at The Bourbon Room tonight!

Hey!

No! No, no!

Where is the police

when you need them?

Hey, you! Hey, policeman!

You can't let him in there!

Here, hold this.

Stacee, excited about the show?

Thank you.

Are you listening to me?

What are you doing?

He can't go in there!

Oh, God!

You stay away from me.

Patty.

Your tits have held up well.

Oh, my God!

Mitch, this is breaking news.

I have in my hand an album.

It's Arsenal 1977 Live at The Bourbon.

Great album, incidentally.

If l could just draw your attention
