Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture The Angel of De Lead Player	#1 by The Angel of Death at Jan 25, 1971 at 9:50 PM EST
	I don't think this song is referring to God because of the last two lines. He'll seek and destroy everything that I enjoy. But, I won't be the one he takes down. No, I won't breakdown. It may seem like God is destroying all of the things that we enjoy in this world, but he certainly isn't trying to take us down.

No Picture kev Average	#2 by kev fitzgerald at Jul 30, 1975 at 3:50 AM EST
	this song means more to me than most, because, well, it follows my life to a T. I own a 86 ford taurus, and it is a lousy excuse for a car... even a honda. anywhey, I was saving up to buy a guitar, and then my heater core broke, and "with a deal" it only cost me 350 bucks to fix. hence the guy who fixed my car ripped me off. At the time, I did not manage to buy a new guitar, but waited a long time. Great song, Relient K, great band, gonna see them this weekend, tomorrow at the IOSF. see you there! And see Blankly Fallen's lyrics on this site, and a whole lot more at www.blanklyfallen.iwarp.com. Booyah!

No Picture nick Professional	#3 by nick Sutliff at Sep 23, 1981 at 7:36 PM EST
	this song is truely a great one

No Picture Ale Wanna Be	#4 by Ale Rosado at Jul 24, 1988 at 10:29 PM EST
	That's referring to the devil, those last lines, not God, but it's a good song

No Picture Chris Badass	#5 by Chris Phillips at Feb 7, 1993 at 12:10 PM EST
	relient K covers VeggieTales' Pirates Who Don't do Anything. so as a thank you of sorts Larry the CUcumber covers this song, really. look it up.

No Picture Zach Average	#6 by Zach at May 30, 1993 at 5:19 PM EST
	I thought it was 'over' a lousy excuse, not 'oh, what' a lousy excuse.

No Picture scotty 2 hotty Rhythm Player	#7 by scotty 2 hotty at Oct 28, 1999 at 7:51 PM EST
	yeah, this song really isn't typical K, but it's super good. it has a gorgeous melody.
