Mr.Big's Green-Tinted Sixties Mind lyrics indicate that the singer is singing about a woman who 's unhappy, can't cope with her problems and is nostalgic for the 1960's.Janis Joplin was a famous singer of that time and died of a drug overdose.Green or blue tinted sunglasses were very popular and this is where the title comes from. She just woke up, but she's still tired Is that the telephone ringing? The curtains can't hold back the light That's reaching into her dreams Down in her heart If it had fingers, it'd be tearing it apart You be lookin' groovy In a sixties movie Maybe tell the press you died Little legend baby Try your very best to hide A green-tinted sixties mind She keeps some memories locked away But they are always escaping Neglect won't make them fade away They're reaching into her dreams Down in her heart Don't need fingers to be tearing it apart Gotta face the day There is no other way To clear the fog inside your mind Fill it up with dreams But all that you can seem to find A green-tinted sixties mind Hangin' out with Janis Movin' to Atlantis Could've made it if you tried What's the point of force It's easy as a horse to ride A green-tinted sixties mind You be looking groovy In a sixties movie Maybe tell the press you died Little legend baby Try your very best to hide A green-tinted sixties mind -U can't hide-

Hi, if you watch Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn on www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFIKPGVTwEY you will see that this song is very sad, it's saying that there is always a downside to a beautiful thing, which is their relationship.

every rose has a torn=umm for me its like every women can hurt a man or maybe evvery women has a secret... @ elmer you really like song ha!!well i guess you got my attention.. let's rock

Every rose has its thorn = for beauty there is always something that is NOT so nice. (many times referring to people or situations Green tinted 60's - not sure what they were referring to..........60's were very much a drug culture..........but if it is simpler than that.... there were two main 60's household collors............avocado green and coppertone.......... ask anyone from that agegroup and they willtell you kitchen appliances seemed to be in those two colors! hahah
