No Picture ScumFucBondage Average	#3 by ScumFucBondage bumsex at Jun 14, 1987 at 6:48 AM EST
	I love this song. "the maddening crowd" is a great cd; I'm sad that ninedays just disappeared after "absolutely"

No Picture Razzle Wanna Be	#4 by Razzle jester at Jul 23, 1987 at 9:03 PM EST
	This song, this whole CD actually, means a lot to me. This song I would dedicate to so many people. To me, it's about being hurt so bad by someone that you wish you could just forget about it. And you are left bitter after it. Yeah, I've been there before...

No Picture austin Average	#5 by austin pancner at Mar 6, 2005 at 1:48 AM EST
	'your feathers are gone you'll never fly' - some of the most powerful lyrics ever... the live version of this is ten times more amazing than the actual version, it's quite plain under normal circumstances but life - exquisite.. clever lyrics, gorgeous relaxed imperfect voice..
