Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Average	#1 by KitCat at Oct 4, 1977 at 11:45 AM EST
	It's about a guy taking a blow job, and how it exemplifies human desire for power over others.

No Picture Elizabeth Wanna Be	#2 by Elizabeth Greer at Aug 1, 1986 at 10:43 AM EST
	I feel like it is about someone who wants to be in a relationship, but is constantly scared of getting hurt. I think about the "armies" as a wall of protection that has been built not letting anyone in. Almost like this person is trying for love (bait you on) but will never get love because the wall is there and will "always hate it", being tied down. And even though he likes the idea of it, there is always something saying no. Perhaps it is just how I interpret the chorus line about the armies...

No Picture The REAL Godfat Average	#3 by The REAL Godfather at Oct 15, 1990 at 12:23 PM EST
	I think this one's about casual sex. There's at least a few Live songs about this (unsheathed, deep enough). The band is influenced by Henry Miller, who writes books, at least the one that I read, basically about free love. I think this about a dude who has a one night stand with someone and she mistakes it for true love.

No Picture Crystal Average	#4 by Crystal at Feb 20, 2006 at 11:12 AM EST
	i think this song is about a guy who has had a bunch of one night stands instead of relationships, and then he meets a girl who he realizes he is falling for, but it is really tough for him to give up the lifestyle he is used to ("the beauty of this vision.... keeps invading all my private moments"). i agree with els24 about the "armies i have created" being his walls or defenses against finding a girl he loves, and they "will always hate it (the girl he's fallen in love with)" because they were invented to keep just that away. the iris of her eye "will always shake it" because without meaning to, he thinks of her when he is with another girl.

No Picture Punk Rock Princ Wanna Be	#5 by Punk Rock Princess at Feb 23, 2006 at 5:19 PM EST
	did anyone think about the line "I liked the way my hand looked on your head, in the presence of my knuckles" as some sort of physical abuse? sounds like it to me. "mistaken for love" does anyone think its about a guy who beats his girlfriend/wife?
