Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#1 by Chris H at Dec 23, 1974 at 9:22 AM EST
	Matt's Comments: "Everyone has the potential to be a horror. So don't turn your back on the reality that you could be one. Furthermore, realize that those you consider dangerous are no different than yourself. Everyone is a weapon in waiting. No one is exepmt. Given the nature of things these days, it seems that truth gets lost at border crossings and airports and so forth. It shouldn't. We're all equal in the evil and beauty we're capable of producing."

No Picture Mike Average	#2 by Mike Murphy at Jan 19, 1982 at 2:36 AM EST
	I was thinking that word was "world"

No Picture Diego Wanna Be	#3 by Diego Rodriguez at May 8, 1990 at 10:36 PM EST
	the first time I heard this song was during an episode of Queer as Folk (an, um "intimate" scene) -- so that scene always sticks with me when I hear this. i'm very much enjoying the interpretations here, though.

	Lyrics outta the CD booklet. Here by my side an angel Here by my side the devil Never turn your back on me Never turn your back on me again Here by my side, it's heaven Here by my side you are destruction Here by my side a new color to paint the world Never turn your back on it Never turn your back on it again Here by my side it's heaven Careful, you be careful This is where the world drops off Careful, you be careful And you breath in and you breath out for it Ain't it so wierd how it makes you a weapon And you give in you give out for it Ain't it so wierd how it makes you a weapon Never turn your back on it never turn your back on it again Careful, you be careful

	Although I admire Matt Good's work, I always thought the concept for this song was a little typical and misguided. I had originally thought it a song in the wake of 9/11 blaming religion of all kinds and "how it makes you a weapon", which is of course ridiculous, but after reading his comments, that puts me at ease a little more. He's a great artist.
