No Picture Razzle Wanna Be	#1 by Razzle jester at Oct 14, 2006 at 8:15 PM EST
	i'm pretty sure this girl becomes brendan's wife.

No Picture Nick Rhythm Player	#2 by Nick Carrasco at Jan 23, 2007 at 6:25 PM EST
	this song is about a guy (brendan kelly) who is disillusioned with life, talking about himself and his equally disillusioned girlfriend (or girlfriend type figure), and the point they are at in their lives. i think that they have had a long relationship together and that they're ready to just grow up past all the shit that's been bugging them. seems like he thinks he's dragging the girl down, and he's grateful that she stays with him despite this. i love the line "your smile makes me cry when it's not on there right." that's so damn good. it's always sad when someone you love has that fake smile plastered on his or her face, and you just get that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach. good times, great band. anyone who likes them, please post on some of the songs, there are barely any.

No Picture Trey Average	#3 by Trey Davis at Feb 12, 2007 at 12:28 AM EST
	best line ever.. "sit next to me, we can talk or just kiss" mmm that feels good.

No Picture dimebag 66' Average	#4 by dimebag 66' at Feb 14, 2007 at 3:54 PM EST
	"Yeah, the song is sort of about my abject poverty and pathetic existence. I have this girlfriend that I really like a lot and I feel really, really bad that I’m what she gets. You know what I mean? Sort of like I feel that she’s made this blind choice, not knowing how it will turn out and what it could really be if you lift up the box and there’s just me on the couch, 40 years old, I haven’t had a job for a long time, ‘see you when you get home, honey.’ It’s a sad song, a warning to my girlfriend: get away from me while you’re still young." that's what brendan says about it...

No Picture Erin Rhythm Player	#5 by Erin at Feb 16, 2007 at 10:55 PM EST
	i never understood the part "you can rub my palm and say better than this"

No Picture Average	#6 by Fig at Aug 27, 2007 at 9:38 AM EST
	these guys have something great going for them a different sound a different way

No Picture mike Average	#7 by mike rojas at Sep 6, 2007 at 9:11 PM EST
	dude i was just about to say pretty much the same thing but it looks like you took care of it. the song's about being in a relationship and making it through tough times, as well as kinda thanking the girl for putting up with him and being there for him cause he feels like she deserves so much better. fire away.

No Picture duncan_player Wanna Be	#8 by duncan_player at Sep 21, 2007 at 6:33 PM EST
	dude i can relate to this soung so much. first the whole lot of the description of an area, bren is describing the poorer side of chicago he lives on. and he keeps on talkin bout how he cant deal with his problems and hes hitting the bottle, and he doesnt understand why his girlfriend hasnt left him yet, but he still shows her his love. lifes a surprise you never know what you'll get [or get into for that matter] hence the title "I'll take whats in the box monty"
