Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Dan The English Wanna Be	#1 by Dan The English at Aug 15, 1976 at 1:54 AM EST
	I think this is about suicide....I think most of us feel like this sometimes....we just want to end what world we are currently in and skip straight to the afterlife. Or maybe its about how this world we're living in just...sucks.

No Picture Jordan Lead Player	#2 by Jordan Gadsby at Sep 4, 1976 at 4:44 AM EST
	ok blueskymind i got my meaning for the song from pj harveys biography... so unless u met her personally to tell u otherewise get ur facts rite before u criticise

No Picture Michael Average	#3 by Michael Vanderveen at Nov 2, 1980 at 9:34 PM EST
	I don't think this is about suicide, or love- since it's from the album Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, which seems to have a strong sensation of wanderlust, I think it's about just that- the want to travel, or maybe elope with a new man, to escape from where you are at the moment and discover new worlds and people, apart from the strong city atmosphere. I see the bit about "beautiful people, beautiful girls" referring to the models and larger-than-life pin-ups we are bombarded with today. I don't think this song is about suicide, because as someone who has 5 of PJ's albums and some of the harder-to-find songs downloaded, I think she would be more creative and original if she were to write about suicide. Furthermore, it would be ironic to use a suicide song as the first song on an album. I see it more as a big exit from, say, New York, ready to begin a journey round the world :-)

No Picture Drennan Professional Badass	#4 by Drennan Bragg at Jan 26, 1982 at 10:19 AM EST
	Could be interpreted as a suicide-song

No Picture wrath Average	#5 by wrath child at Jan 23, 1994 at 11:25 AM EST
	You are the one who should "get ur facts rite before u criticise", jonnybassman. The song I think you are talking about is "The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore": [...] "I watch the news, I read newspapers. I am like most people. I am very affected and can be emotionally upset by what is going on, and it reaches the point of anger: 'This is just awful and has to stop.' I can't even remember what affected me at the time, but it is so many things on a daily basis, when it comes to world news. It was me voicing my anger and upset at the state we are in." Correct me if I'm wrong, but when it comes to "Big Exit" it doesn't say much about the meaning of the song, just a bit about the making of it. To be acting like you are speaking the truth, when what you call facts don't seem to be much else than a mix-up from your side... that just makes you seem inattentive.
