Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Murders in the Average	#1 by Murders in the Rue Morgue at Dec 23, 1982 at 9:03 PM EST
	Missing verse: "Oooh, honey, honey gotta get laid Where's my money, where's my money Wanna get paid, wanna get paid Leisure leisure leisure" This song made me think of a fast-paced, overweight business guy carrying a briefcase and rushing down the streets of New York City, talking on his cell phone. He's always in a rush to get to his next meeting or appointment so he really doesn't have much time for himself, let alone others. Then one day, he drops dead from a heart attack. The end!

No Picture Grunge Hamster Lead Player	#2 by Grunge Hamster at Apr 20, 1985 at 12:46 PM EST
	I always thought it was about how life's all filled with stress. Especially due to careers, money etc. and that it's important to just slow down and relax otherwise you might end up...dead.

No Picture jimmy Wanna Be	#3 by jimmy henry at Sep 15, 1987 at 10:44 AM EST
	This song is about an over achiever who is always concerned about making money. He is too busy to have a relationship therefore pays for sex. He has never taken time to appreciate the simple things and suddenly life is over. Tremendous song with crashing thunder at the end courtesy of god.

No Picture Ryan Average	#4 by Ryan Noffke at Feb 18, 1988 at 12:28 PM EST
	Didn't think this type of song would be on "Jazz" of all albums. Jus so fast, heavy-esque, and damn kewl :) Probably 'bout how we live at a rushed, accelerated pace, but in the end, death will catch up to us.

No Picture keith Wanna Be	#5 by keith mckinlay at Mar 5, 1988 at 1:12 AM EST
	umm....matheson.....QUIT YOUR BITCHING

No Picture PJVILL Professional Badass	#6 by PJVILL at Jun 27, 1988 at 7:32 PM EST
	God is spelled with a capital you ass

No Picture Failure by Desi Average	#7 by Failure by Design at Mar 30, 1990 at 7:03 PM EST
	Lyrics missing: it's "stamping on the ceiling, hammering on the walls". This is actually one of my favourite songs off Jazz. I love the first verse.

No Picture Venti Average	#8 by Venti at Jan 3, 1997 at 9:40 AM EST
	Great use of a thunderstorm on this song...

No Picture Roman Rhythm Player	#9 by Roman Malik at May 22, 1997 at 5:28 AM EST
	Everyones right, its about business man who dies and has nothing to leave, a wasted life u cud say

No Picture jo_silverhawk Average	#10 by jo_silverhawk at Jun 27, 1999 at 9:38 AM EST
	It doesn't have to be spelled with a capital. If you believe in the christian god then sure. but they could be talking about any god.

No Picture MelissA Average	#11 by MelissA at Jun 17, 2003 at 6:04 PM EST
	erm shotgunn wedding hate to say it but God is like a proper noun... so yeah it does have to be spelled with a capital... good song though... i love jazz i love queen hell i love everyone ha ha
