No Picture Matt Lead Player	#1 by Matt Miller at Apr 9, 1975 at 9:10 PM EST
	lol i guess im a little late on posting that

No Picture simon Average	#2 by simon cody simon at Nov 25, 1980 at 1:06 PM EST
	the beginning is part of a monolouge from the movie "Beautiful Girls" here are those: a beautiful girl can make you dizzy like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning she can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man -- promise. promise of a better day. promise of a greater hope. promise of a new tomorrow. this particular aura... can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. in her smile in her soul the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's gonna to be okay.

No Picture metal-cat Average	#3 by metal-cat stepheria at May 5, 1996 at 1:10 AM EST
	this song is the BEST...i like the beginning especially, when the guy is talking, but it's not on these lyrics, so someone needs to post it.

No Picture Jimmy Rhythm Player	#4 by Jimmy at Jun 19, 1996 at 10:08 PM EST
	it's too bad the intro isn't on the cd version, but it's still a great song that's played by a GREAT band. TBS rocks!

No Picture Lyssa CHAOS Average	#5 by Lyssa CHAOS at Feb 21, 2002 at 9:25 PM EST
	Girls suck.......they're manipulative and this song spells it out. Good job on the lyrics.

No Picture Mat Average	#6 by Mat Hancock at Aug 2, 2003 at 11:24 AM EST
	September never seems this cold where i come from: Sept 11: they are from the tri-state area: I have no clue if those three tie in, but with the poetic nature of TBS I wouldn't over look it

No Picture ian Average	#7 by ian mckinly at May 6, 2004 at 6:22 AM EST
	I looooove this song. it's so so good.

No Picture cody Average	#8 by cody jay at Sep 5, 2004 at 7:09 PM EST
	begining of this song pushes it from being tied as my favorite song from them to my favorite... good use of a movie quote

No Picture Shotgun Average	#9 by Shotgun Joe at Feb 20, 2006 at 1:48 AM EST
	girls are animals... they travel in packs...they eat you alive...they are crazy...i cant think right now... they also drive me crazy and hopefully one of these days ill figure them out
