Same as before




I haven't figured out the interlude and the outro, but this is still the longest tab
for this song on UG.

Hope you enjoy.

Rock on!

	i love john's voice when he sings "you are on the road" this song is obviously about the chili peppers life on the road, or on tour, and the things they do, or "need" to do, like getting laid. "every man has certain needs, talkin' bout them dirty deeds..." LOVE RHCP for life!!!!

	Anybody seen Funky Monks? It's a movie the chili peppers made during the recording of bssm. It kicks ass.

	There's more to this song than just sex. Anthony is telling us that he's a man with some weaknesses (just like the rest of us), he's not even close to being a perfect man and he would never want to be one. Being perfect would mean that he has nothing else to experience, he wouldn't learn from his mistakes beacuse he wouldn't make any. He lives doing the best things he can, taking advantage of his lifetime. (I didn't think of this song this way, until I read an interview, anyway, that's just my opinion )
