No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#1 by Justin Neafsey at May 20, 1971 at 6:01 PM EST
	well actually i think its about a brother talking to his brother..sorta telling him don't try so hard now since you don't know what you want. people want him (the brother) to be what they want him to be, not what he himself wants to be... reminds me of my own family...

No Picture Bloody Mess All Musical Thunder	#2 by Bloody Mess All Over My Clothes at Apr 15, 1972 at 4:21 PM EST
	My fav part....I HOPE YOU KNOW BY NOW YOU MEAN SO VERY MUCH TO ME.....I wish I could tell that special someone this. I love this song, and I think it is very emotional, like he really cares about his person, but just can't say it....just like me...

No Picture JJ Average	#3 by JJ at Jul 13, 1982 at 7:51 PM EST
	Great song. I think it's just about a guy who's kinda watching this girl's life go on. and hiding his feelings for her because she's always busy and on the move. and he can't tell her. and near the end, the guy wants her to know that he has all the answers and wants her to slow down so he can tell her how he feels. and the last lyrics sorta just say that he thinks she's going to change. and he really hopes that one day she'll realise how much she means to him. --
