Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Luke Professional	#1 by Luke Goudreault at Jun 30, 1976 at 7:38 PM EST
	This song is insane. it's obviously a ghost story like BloodLust said.. the meaning behind this song is so dark, it gives me so many chills. i can just imagine a ghost watching it's lover having sex with the man who killed him. i love the line "when you cum you never make a single sound". he has no choice but to watch and hear them have sex.. "dont you wish you never met her" it's the ghost saying how much he wishes the killer never met her, otherwise he wouldnt be dead and he'd be with her.. great great song..

No Picture bob Average	#2 by bob fred at Jan 8, 1977 at 1:01 PM EST
	Yeah I agree with Bloodlust's comment, to me it was always about jealousy, and loving someone who who's taken by the more popular guy whos built like a 'brick shithouse' and your just the weedy feminine guy. (Like Brian?)

No Picture The Masta The Muther F*ing Masta!	#3 by The Masta at Sep 5, 1980 at 2:31 PM EST
	if u think about it musicaly this song is sooo far ahead of bands like funeral for a friend

No Picture Tony Wanna Be	#4 by Tony Danza at Oct 2, 1980 at 6:28 PM EST
	The 'Brick Shithouse' is supposedly a homophobe as well. Death to them all :)

No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#5 by Justin Neafsey at Aug 7, 1984 at 6:37 PM EST
	A brickshit house is slang for a solid guy. The song is about cheating on your gf with a man..

No Picture Ashley Rhythm Player	#6 by Ashley 666 at Aug 29, 1991 at 12:58 PM EST
	Or not, Brian himself says it's a ghost story on a website. :(
