Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture D.J Wanna Be	#1 by D.J Mortensen at May 23, 1975 at 9:18 PM EST
	these lyrics are incorrect. favors down = faith is down Id = it dry = try this is a great song. i am curious to see more interpretations.

No Picture Jimmy Lead Player	#2 by Jimmy Chezz at Nov 28, 1977 at 12:09 PM EST
	Hey that's a good point.

No Picture Dark Lead Player	#3 by Dark Avenger at Mar 14, 1978 at 10:03 AM EST
	It's not just the 'speaking style', which Tom Waits et al have often used, it's the fact that it sounds very much like the pixies, what with the Black Francis drawl; in fact this whole song I thought on first listening to it was a pixies tribute, abstract lyrics style, song structure and everything ...

No Picture Randy Wanna Be	#4 by Randy Burden at Oct 29, 1992 at 2:35 AM EST
	great song, but the spoken part of the chorus definitely rips off the pixies ("debaser")

No Picture stephen Average	#5 by stephen warunki at Mar 22, 1995 at 12:05 PM EST
	I believe it's "yards", not "yarn".
