The Ballad Of Jayne

Got an email from my friend Simon in Edinburgh yesterday with an mp3 attached to it. Oh wow was I excited. It was his band Wynntown Marshalls doing a cover of the L.A.Guns classic "The Ballad Of Jayne". Have to admit there was also some trepidation as it's one of my favourite L.A.Guns tracks and I was worried how the country boys would interpret a glam/sleaze classic but I wasn't disappointed.

I believe their version of a track might be appearing on a compilation album soon so I won't post the mo3 on here just in case.

In the meantime here's L.A.Guns performing The Ballad Of Jayne:


The Ballad Of Jayne
She was always something special
A diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know how much I loved you so

Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne

You were always on my mind
A childlike summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I'd never let you go
Hear me now cause I want you to know

Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne

Now she's breaking hearts in heaven
Shining bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still think of you in the night
Well I guess she'll never know
How much I need her so

Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
