	Trials and tribulations of touring; only a band with such touring experience like KOL could write a song like this

	In a rolling stone article on kings of leon it says: 'black thumbnail was inspired by one of their cousins who had done a bit of time for various offences they don't want to detail. He was once asked if he thought his ex-wife had a heart. He replied "yeah, it's about the size of my thumbnail and black as coal'

	Personally, I think he says "Now, guitar, go guitar" not "Now get her, go get her". But that's just based on the assumption that some people pronounce guitar GIT-tar and that Matthew plays a solo after he says it.

No Picture The Real Slim S Average	#4 by The Real Slim Shady at Oct 6, 2007 at 4:21 PM EST
	It's about Caleb, and the fact that whenever he gets close to a girl, he feels himself pull away, in part due to the fact that growing up they never got close to people outside the family as they were always upping sticks and moving. its kind of the frustration he feels that he goes cold on relationships before they've even begun. but thats just 'how i'm made'.

	Favourite off the new album - I love how he doesn't pronounce clearly his lyrics (which is why I'm here) - he gives off an ambigous sound (I thought he said, "I leave on Sunday") Anyway - great stuff from the great KOL

	Wow I thought he said "Don't leave me lonely"... still great song though
