New Bon Jovi song Knockout + #THINFS tracklist

Annnnnd we officially have the "live your life" song that's been on most Bon Jovi albums since 2000. Although who knows, there could be more than one on this album?

Anyway, This House Is Not For Sale, which is due out on 21 October 2016, is now available for pre-order. If you pre-order it on iTunes, you'll get the title track (which came out last month) and a new song called "Knockout".

If you're disinclined to purchase the album at this stage, you can also listen to "Knockout" on Spotify.



Here are the lyrics (I think):

Every day I wake up with my back against the wall
Anytime you get up someone wants to see you fall
If you're afraid to lose it all, you're never gonna win
I'll be giving you the finger and sticking out my chin
Boom boom boom
Here comes the boom boom boom

Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
Turning your lights out
I'm throwing down
Here comes the knockout
Until the last round
I'm throwing down
Go start a fire, go start a fight
No regrets, this is your life (hey)
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
I'm throwing down

Are you living in a nightmare, are you living in a dream?
Do you stand for something, will you fall for anything?
It's easier to count me out but you can count me in
Coz I'm giving you the finger and sticking out my chin
Boom boom boom
Here comes the boom boom boom

Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
Turning your lights out
I'm throwing down
Here comes the knockout
Until the last round
I'm throwing down
Go start a fire, go start a fight
No regrets, this is your life (hey)
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
I'm throwing down down down
Down down 
Throwing down down down
Down down

Did you really live your life or did it pass you by?
What's it take to tell yourself you really were alive?
Look me in the eye

Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
Turning your lights out
I'm throwing down
Here comes the knockout
Until the last round
I'm throwing down
Go start a fire, go start a fight
No regrets, this is your life (hey)
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
I'm throwing down

The lyric I've written as "boom" sounded like "pull" the first couple of times I listened to it, so I don't know how accurate this transcription is. "Knockout" was written by Jon Bon Jovi and John Shanks.

To be honest, I'm not really digging this one, but maybe it'll grow on me. I don't mind the boxing metaphor.

I like some of those titles, but I also know better than to judge a song by its title. ;)

Of the two tracks that have been released from the album, which song do you prefer -- "Knockout" or "This House Is Not For Sale"? Or do you love/hate both?
