Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jer Average	#1 by Jer at Sep 16, 1978 at 10:35 PM EST
	...Was that supposed to be clever in some way?

No Picture Josh Lead Player	#2 by Josh Ripley at Jan 8, 1985 at 12:27 PM EST
	This song is about the annoying goth that used to follow New Order around before they got famous. He would constantly whine and complain about how awful his life is and would stalk New Order everywhere they went. There wasn’t one show where he didn’t get up on stage, punch the lead singer in the face, take over the mic and complain about his life to the crowd, whom would all leave. He was destroying their career with his whining and not singing the songs that New Order were going to perform. “You get these words wrong “ “We live always underground It's going to be so quiet in here tonight A thousand islands in the sea It's a shame” These lyrics express how little of their audience was left because of that freak. These lyrics are about telling this annoying creature to get lost ”For these last few days leave me alone But for these last few days leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone” Although he never listened. One of his main complaints being “I had sex with another woman and for some unknown reason, my wife is angry at me. What did I do to her?” Luckily, New Order had found his weakness and positioned multiple lights around the arena. One day, he just disappeared. No one knows what happened. However, he inspired million upon millions of people whose entire purpose of existence is to be as miserable and whiney as he was. They look up to him as the hero of misery and aspired to be just like him. The moral of the story. If you’re going to be miserable, don’t drag down other people who have a future of making happy music for the masses.

No Picture Mat Average	#3 by Mat Hancock at Sep 8, 1997 at 10:29 AM EST
	It comes from someone who feels detached and emotionally cleaned out. From the isolation he feels, he sees a sea of alienated people: "On a thousand islands in the sea I see a thousand people just like me... A thousand islands in the sea It's a shame" Everyone is an island isolated from each other. What do I feel like when I'm alienated? Sometimes I feel like being alone - telling people to leave me alone.

No Picture Randy Wanna Be	#4 by Randy Burden at Nov 10, 2000 at 5:38 AM EST
	This used to be my favorite song from Power Corruption & Lies. I just loved how catchy and melancholy it was at the same time. Brilliant.
