Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Alex Wanna Be	#1 by Alex Bosilkov at Sep 27, 2007 at 6:05 PM EST
	No, I don't think this song is about rape. I think it was about her life at that current time. There are references to Kurt, Frances Bean, and the dark side of being a celebrity.

No Picture mike Average	#2 by mike gannon at Oct 3, 2007 at 10:37 AM EST
	I'm pretty sure it's about sex and virginity. And perhaps yearning for the time of child-like innocence when you didn't know what 'truth' was. It's one of my favourite Hole songs.

No Picture KT Average	#3 by KT Brown at Oct 5, 2007 at 9:28 PM EST
	notice the simliarities in the lyrics of this song and asking for it. asking for it: I will tear the petals off of you, rose red i will make you tell the truth petals: tear the petals off of you, make you tell the truth coincidence? doubt it.
