Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture brandon Rhythm Player	#1 by brandon q at Feb 3, 1971 at 10:47 AM EST
	they leave each line hanging like its a sentance of its own and makes you wonder.. MORE COW BELLS.. haha and it sounds like a barbershop quartette(?) at the beginning - wonderful combo

No Picture LJ Average	#2 by LJ at Jan 9, 1999 at 1:02 AM EST
	i think this song is talking about when a person promises not to do something like drugs for example ever again and he gets seen by someone important to him and he say fuck it like why the fuck does she care "as if she were the last one she thought id betray" because he justs wants to get higgh and not worry about it then

No Picture Keith Average	#3 by Keith Amaral at Jan 25, 2001 at 9:43 AM EST
