Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Bassdude Average	#1 by Bassdude at Sep 2, 1970 at 8:28 PM EST
	i think its about trying to run from something u did, but you can never escape your own guilt. How can you sleep at night? And it falls apart Anything anything How can you sleep at night?

No Picture Jp Wanna Be	#2 by Jp Collins at Jun 17, 1971 at 1:48 AM EST
	SPARTA+MARSVOLTA=AT THE DRIVE IN haha so bad ass its double the fun i love all the songs from all 3 of them

No Picture Lucas Average	#3 by Lucas Lawrey at Aug 8, 1973 at 5:31 PM EST
	thanks a lot to whoever posted these lyrics. Now i'm only looking for lyrics to of the room. Anyone know where to find them? anyway, this song rules. what's it mean? well to me it means that he's trying to get away from something or somebody. probably something. like a problem or something. he's running away but it always finds him. "in the back room, in the suitcase." he just wants to cut the ribbon. my old gf was like this. always running from her problems. but hey, i could be wrong. I'm just happy that sparta write about something other than cliche emo stuff. i'm seeing em in a couple days. can't wait. thanx for listening

No Picture Vicky Average	#4 by Vicky Barnard at Aug 11, 1975 at 9:45 AM EST
	yeah thanks for that. you have lyrics for of the room? i wanna see those

No Picture Dr. Jack Average	#5 by Dr. Jack at Apr 5, 1995 at 2:44 AM EST
	i saw sparta a couple of days ago for my first time in houston,tx with dashboard and weezer. i missed the first one or two songs but it was a kickass show anyway. i didnt hear them play this song, but i guess i missed it. that blows:O\ anyway..sparta rocks! woo. heh..

No Picture David Average	#6 by David Gilmour at Jan 9, 1997 at 1:18 AM EST
	this song is 100% about guilt & how it follows you EVERYWHERE you go. 'how can you sleep at night' ((CERTAINLY IT'S HARD WHEN SOMETHING IS CONSTANTLY BOTHERING YOU FROM THE PAST))...'i will find you'...........'in your cheekbones passing through you'.........'cut your ribbon ((MEANING TO STOP THE REGRET & FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR PAST SIN ETC))

No Picture bethan Average	#7 by bethan jones at Sep 20, 1997 at 3:32 PM EST
	yeah these may not be the right lyrics but whoever has the cd should have the book anyway so it's no real problem. Anyway, the video for Cut Your Ribbon (found at http://www.spartamusic.com) shows a guy running down a deliberately white-shrowd girl in his car and then consequently going through a paranoid delusional state. That's probably a metaphorical depiction of a more person situation. The lyrics back up the delusional bit. Anyway, great song...

No Picture The Penguins Tr Professional Badass	#8 by The Penguins Tried To Kill Me The Other Day at Jan 12, 2003 at 10:20 AM EST
	That song is "Where is my mind" by the pixies. To my knowledge Sparta have never covered it and the file you have is probably mislabeled. I know Nada Surf do an excellent cover.
