	i love this song..............one of the best on the album. and i also think this is about drug abuse

No Picture Jimmy Rhythm Player	#2 by Jimmy at Oct 11, 1988 at 1:09 AM EST
	Love this song. Brilliant. About (in my personal opinion anyway) someone with depression and a drug addiction and hes stealing from his friend. His friend knew but didnt do anything because, obviously, hes his friend but he just couldnt take it anymore. Or if you want to put a deeper meaning to it he could be emotionally stealing things. Depends what an individual thinks it is though

	It does sound to me like this is about a friend who has a drug problem, but I also think that he is the one who got his friend started on it, or vice versa. "My hopes just fell...and I can't see...the reason why...why there is blood on my sleeve...and all this time, I thought it mine, but it's not it's yours" And although this guy is doing drugs, he must be making some money or living the high life. "This life you lead, like swimming in a shiny ballroom." But obviously, this guy's been stealing from his friend, after he tried to help him with his problem. "This label 'thief' find a better title suited for you". Also, "this title wave, is coming down upon you" this easy life this guy's been living, is about to go down the drain "this life you leave like SWIMMING in a shiny ballroom" and he's about to send this guy packing "just pack your shit and leave with it".

	I love this song too. But I think its about a woman he just can't handle anymore. And all this time he thought he was the problem, that he could fix it, but now he realizes it's her that is so difficult and he's tired of playing her game. Especially the part where he says "next time you bleed" I think he's referring to next time you try this *hit you will be the one that hurts. I also think it's about a woman because of the reference to "label theif, find a better title suited for you." She's doesn't have the right to call herself a "girlfriend" because she doesn't treat him nice.

	i think this song is about drug abuse. his friend uses drugs and it's not worth it to him to remain friends with this guy and watch him slowly kill himself.

No Picture Gladis Wanna Be	#6 by Gladis McHumphry at Oct 14, 2007 at 9:55 AM EST
	The actual lyrics are "gets harder everytime I call you" ...
