Artist - Incubus
Track – (6) Sick Sad Little World
Album – A Crow Left Of The Murder
Composed by – Ben Kenney
Tabbed by – Phill Bagnall (enjoi_baggy@hotmail.com)


-The numbers across the top of the tabs are the number of beats in the bar, just for timing 
reference.
-For the verse, the ending notes for the guitar tab is an octave higher than the starting 
C# (A-9). This would be played on G-6 for the guitar, but on the bass it is still on the same 
lower C# (A-9). So don’t tell me it’s wrong!
-Oh and I met Brandon and Mike for a pre-playing of A Crow Left Of The Murder at a club called 
ROUGE in London, UK. Anyone else who was there please e-mail me!

	I can't be sure of it but i think it's possible that he's suggesting God has left us.

No Picture Scott Average	#2 by Scott Anderson at Mar 24, 1976 at 1:45 AM EST
	Sorry, old-school fans, I love SCIENCE as much as the next guy, but this is the best Incubus track in existence. I see the Dirk Lance connatations. If it is about Alex, then I see what Brandon meant. He wrote a lot of the songs on this album on a personal level for himself but ambiguously enough (if that's a fitting word) so that other people can relate to his words. Oustanding work, indeed.

No Picture 2D Average	#4 by 2D at Jun 8, 1983 at 1:47 AM EST
	I love this song... except it's too long. I'm not sure what it means, I think it means someone who left and they want them to come back? Not sure.

No Picture ty Average	#5 by ty at Oct 3, 1993 at 8:58 AM EST
	the world is a joke when out of love. PERFECT- Nothing but love gives my life validity,meaning. I so identified with this - without love i can see no point in the trivial persuits of man nore my place on this earth. 1 2 3 Next

No Picture Prometeo Wanna Be	#6 by Prometeo at Jul 2, 1998 at 2:37 AM EST
	Ok most songs are written like an essay. The author has a personal experience that he is singing about in the song. But the artist also is trying to convey a more simple message like in this song "Leave me here in my stark raving sick sad little world" talking about someone wasting their life sad little world. The message might not neccesarily about Dirk Lance but the song might of been inspired off him. Not a song devoted to him as much as using his life as an example to make a point.

No Picture Nick Average	#7 by Nick M at Jun 3, 2005 at 1:34 AM EST
	I can see the parallells to Dirk, yes....
