I'm tired of chasing after you 
the residue is jealous, 
See me on the dark side of your mind, 
I want to get my hands on him,

To a club that's pounding in the London rain, 
The world could end We wouldn't hear it. 
I know just what's on your mind,

I know where you've been, 
That nose is broken wide open, 
Your way has got me out of line.
I want to get my hands on him.

You're so sick just to make me prove,
It takes a fight to move you, 
I know just what's on your mind.

So why the hell d'you call me here,
When you know,

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture patrick Wanna Be	#1 by patrick at May 29, 1981 at 12:48 PM EST
	I think that this song is about a long-distance relationship gone bad. The guy in the song is so fed up with the girl's games because they have made him jealous, and an overall worse person. "We're no good for each other" Also, he knows that he cannot see her again, because he is sure she will play mind games if he sees her again. He has some left over feelings, but the tone of the song suggests that he's ready to move on. He knows she has somebody else, and "I want to get my hands on him" is a wicked line. Clever song

No Picture Justin Average	#2 by Justin Ruiz at Sep 20, 1981 at 4:56 AM EST
	This is my absolute favorite song of all time, because I relate to it totally. :D This song (in my opnion) is about a girl who is treating her boyfriend like shit. She leads him on, lies to him, and cheats on him. The part "I don't want to go to London, I told you I don't care." isn't exactly saying he doesn't want to go to the country, it means he doesn't want to be sucked into her lies anymore. I have been lied to , cheated on, and lead on, so I know how he feels. :(

No Picture Mike Average	#3 by Mike heidkamp at Jul 19, 1989 at 9:09 PM EST
	Through the satellites, I fight with you That local brew is spillin' I know just how you spend your time I want to get my hands on him i can kind of see this clear because i've studied abroad before. i think they decided to stay together and she wants him to move because its become too hard. but he doesnt want to because whats the point in him coming to watch her flirt with all these guys, or this one in particular, through the satellites is like they've been talking on cell phones

No Picture Phillip Average	#4 by Phillip Nguyen at Aug 30, 1991 at 10:45 PM EST
	I know I've played this game before. They've broken up, but the girl hints to him where she'll be somehow, and he goes there even though he hates to, seeing her flirting with everyone, with her newestlove interest. She does it just to have his attention, she may not even care about the guy she's with, only that she's making this guy jealous

No Picture Shreder Dude Wanna Be	#5 by Shreder Dude at Nov 14, 1994 at 7:04 AM EST
	This song is kindof obvious. It's about a long distance relationship, and, from a friend/relative or someone that lives in that area, he finds out that the girl is dating, despite the fact that they are long distance dating. (Proving, "I wanna get my hands on him!") After which, he somehow (A picture?) SEES them together. Then, he gets extremely annoyed, making him sick of her.
