Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture steve Wanna Be	#1 by steve hoffmann at Jul 14, 1971 at 2:31 PM EST
	CTS was one of the first panic songs I liked. I think it is because of the same lyrics MJWhite spoke of previously. In the beginning I think I was thinking of "never being alone" as in being with another person. now I can relate to this as always having my panic (people will come and go, but my music will never leave me alone)

	Its about H addiction.

No Picture David Average	#3 by David Gilmour at Mar 29, 1980 at 7:35 AM EST
	This is a song about heroin.

No Picture Mike Average	#4 by Mike at Nov 14, 1980 at 2:10 AM EST
	This song has great lyrics and is a great cover for Panic. Like in many panic songs, (see Rock, for one) the water is the all-consuming substance that surrounds and subdues you. Here, it represents drug addiction. Grabbing each other's collar and rising out of the water-- we need each other to clear get beyond this. Stick your finger in the dike -- reference to old fable/story, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Brinker_or_the_Silver_Skates. Another theme in Panic songs is addiction--Another thought--Panic apparently changes the lyrics from "after all that I've been through" to "after all that I've been to." Makes me think of people beating their addictions by letting every thing else go, including other people, after all the shows they go to... Panic never leaves you in the dark (the venue lights always turn back on) or on your own (surrounded by many others) - Of course, this is just the creation of another addiction.

	thats an Excellent point! my sister has always thought this song is about tripping, but mayhaps i shall put this new angle to her.

No Picture HIYA Wanna Be	#6 by HIYA at Oct 19, 1985 at 3:21 AM EST
	Yea and he is just trying to ignore the bitch..haha..GREAT ONE DUDE

No Picture Dr. Jack Average	#7 by Dr. Jack at Jan 25, 1987 at 5:20 PM EST
	after all that i've been through your the only one that matters (climb to safety) you never left me in the dark here on my own (climb to safety) i can hear the water risin' let me be your ladder (climb to saftey) i promise you'll be dry and never be alone These lyrics are too damn good. If more people listened to Widespread, the world would be a much better place...

No Picture Bobby Rhythm Player	#8 by Bobby McCorkle at Aug 21, 1993 at 9:42 PM EST
	question to fellow spreadheads: what do you all think about the lines "stick your fingers in your ears till they explode, mind his business and roll along as usual"? I think it is about the woman he loves wanting to leave her husband

No Picture devon Average	#9 by devon patterson at Nov 12, 1996 at 1:19 PM EST
	This song is about overcoming heroin addiction. Written by Jerry Joseph who is a recovering heroin addict, singer/songwriter & panics great friend. He overcame heroin without the use of REHAB, so to speak. Cold turkey. Now read the lyrics again and imagine how he must have been feeling at this point in his life . . .mmmm? Edit: Lyric Errors as it grinds to where it began (as he grinds through every gear) you find the bed (paint) is peelin' your (reflective) skin is fallin' off your bones baby we can walk on water (can fVck for money) JJ Lyric/Censored by JB like some junkies swore they did (the junkies always did)

No Picture frosty Average	#10 by frosty Angel at Nov 10, 2001 at 7:11 PM EST
	I agree. Even as I've moved on from this kind of music, this song has stuck with me. I put it on whenever my friends are going through shit times.
