Nothing But A Good Time "The song title says it all. The lyrics symbolize a part of out lives. POISON felt that the endless touring, relentless promotion, hard work, determination and a
Talk Dirty To Me "This rock anthem was the songthat put C.C. in the band and POISON on the map. C.C. showed up at our rehearsal and refused to play the songs we had given him to learn an
Unskinny Bop "This song was a freak of nature and was never intended to be a POISON hit. I give Bobby and Rikki a lot of credit for this song because they came up with the awesome groove
Every Rose Has It's Thorn "Believe it or not, in 1988 (the day and age of power ballads) POISON was told by several music industry executives that an acoustic ballad would never be a hit
Fallen Angel "No song by POISON steps into the Hollywood lifestyle better than this one. It is 'mind blowing' to witness everything that goes on behind the glitter, glitz and closed door
I Won't Forget You "On March 6, 1984, we left Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to move to Hollywood, CA. For Bobby, Rikki and myself the lyrics to this song were the message to the girlfriends,
Stand "This was the first single we released with guitarrist Richie Kotzen. I feel this song was a very 'ballsy' move for POISON by adding the First A.M.E. Church Choir from South Centra
Ride The Wind "Bobby, Rikki and C.C. really did an awesome job of writing the music for this song, and as usual I wrote the lyrics. Being an avid motorcycle enthusiast I felt the need to write

Life Goes On "C.C. brought this beautiful song to the band, then Rikki and Bobby added their magic to it. As for the lyrics, I wrote them about a girlfriend of C.C.'s who was shot and ki
(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice "Musically, the guitar riff was brought to the band by C.C. and was fine tuned by Rikki, Bobby and myself. As for the lyrics, at the time I was heavily into
Cry Tough "This song was POISON's first single. The lyrics were written as a creed for us to believe in so we would not lose hope during the bleak times in the early days. In April '86,
Your Mama Don't Dance "This remake is a song that Rikki and I used to perform in a band called SPECTRES. Ahh, the fond memories it brings back of playing at The Rugue's Den in York, PA.
So Tell Me Why "This is one of the four studio songs recorded as a bonus track for the SWALLOW THIS LIVE album. This song was written in Rikki's home studio and was produced by POISON. B
Something To Believe In "This is the most difficult song I have ever written. Unfortunately, it was inspired by the death of a great friend, Kimo. He was our security guard who I spent d
Sexual Thing "There's a funny story behind this song. While rehearsing in Florida with guitarrist Blues Saraceno, I had the title SEXUAL THING stuck in my mind for quite some time. Every
