No Picture David Average	#1 by David Turner at Aug 17, 1971 at 8:36 PM EST
	I just missed midtown with the movielife and thrice... excuse me while I pout.

No Picture The Masta The Muther F*ing Masta!	#2 by The Masta at Oct 12, 1975 at 5:03 AM EST
	This song sounds like the words my ex-gf told me when we broke up....

No Picture Mistress Cheyen Rhythm Player	#3 by Mistress Cheyenne at Oct 31, 1980 at 3:21 AM EST
	This song is lyrically probably my favorite by Midtown (well actually I can't say that. How about the entire Save the World, Lose the Girl album is my favorite??) To me its another song about a long distance realtionship. The words they use are just incredible. Amongst my favorite lines are... "Will you still be waiting? That's something i can't ask you to be" "I'm waiting for and when you leave it all and you finally fall i'll be coming down with you i'm waiting for you something is wrong but i just can't put my finger on it" "Come on you could have any other boy to take my place and hold when you're feeling all alone" Basically the guy who wrote this song is in love with a girl but he can't be with here. He is extremely understanding of the fact that long distant relationships are tough but he's committed to her, but unfortunately for him the girl isn't as committed and it basically breaks his heart ("how can you say that i'm supposed to stay when you talk on to me that way oh come on now i cant see what i'm supposed to be but if you trust me it might turn out ok" and "it hurts when you talk that way") Its such a great song. The way all 3 sing it at the end is probably my favorite moment in the history of rock n roll. There's just so much emotion and talent. I wish I could see them perform it live... Its the perfect example of how guys get screwed by girls. This guy is dedicated despite realizing that the girl isn't thinking about him. He ends it saying "I know you've haven't been there for me, but soon I will be back and I'll be there for you and it will all be good because I have stayed true"

No Picture Dylan Average	#4 by Dylan Ruiz at Feb 17, 1985 at 1:24 PM EST
	I agree 100%. That line is so powerful... I think every guy has felt it and it just eats you up inside. That line is the climax of not only the song, but the entire CD. I used to think "Knew it All Along" was the best song on this CD (I can say the same thign about No Place and Such a Person... its an amazing CD :))then I read the lyrics as I listened to "Come on" and realized how powerful it is. This song just means a lot to me right now and I can't write enough praise for it. STW, LTG is in my favorite CD ever and like I said earlier, this song is the perfect climax for it. Its just so awesome. (Its progressed a long way too! Have you heard the orginal version?)

No Picture Darren Wanna Be	#5 by Darren Pilton at Nov 11, 1990 at 3:27 PM EST
	this in my opinion is the best midtown song. The part when they're like "you could have any other boy" is Godsent.

No Picture Joe Average	#6 by Joe Fitzpatrick at May 7, 1999 at 1:49 PM EST
	ah yes i can't wait to see midtown next month, they'll be playing with one of my favorite bands, THRICE.. going to be a good show.

No Picture David Rhythm Player	#7 by David Bradley at Jul 17, 2001 at 12:33 AM EST
	another anthem of my life

No Picture klown Rhythm Player	#8 by klown at Mar 11, 2004 at 4:24 AM EST
	oops! I just read through the lyrics again and I guess I missed this line... "When I forgot to call you knew it all it was coming down on you will you still be waiting? That's something i can't ask you to be" So obviously the guy isn't as innocent as I made him out to be in the above analysis. I guess I just wanted to blame it all on girls... guess you can tell how I feel about them right now :)
