Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture 'MAGS' Badass	#1 by 'MAGS' Bondoc at Mar 19, 1974 at 12:46 PM EST
	It's just about people asking him too much stuff.... and he don't like it...

No Picture ~Ivy Loves Shav Rhythm Player	#2 by ~Ivy Loves Shavo~ at Apr 15, 1977 at 6:32 PM EST
	great tune.

No Picture sean Average	#3 by sean at Jun 20, 1979 at 1:07 PM EST
	This is the most powerful song i've ever heard - the solo has the best use of guitar effects i've ever heard and matt's voice is so emotional, especially on the chorus "for one moment..." and the quiet bridge. It's about meeting new people who seem friendly but turn out not to care and end up either ignoring or backstabbing him in my opinion. I like xfinchfanx's opinion too.

No Picture JT Wanna Be	#4 by JT Fairchild at Aug 15, 1980 at 6:55 PM EST
	This song is plain and simple, really listen or read as you hear the song, he said in a NME its about rape, a friend of his got raped a while back and he wrote her this song to try and support her.

No Picture Eric Average	#5 by Eric Talley at Mar 11, 1987 at 8:56 PM EST
	this song means sumthin to me but i donbt know what,its one of those songs where just the melody brings back memories of the past and it jus dus summin to me.

No Picture Cody Professional	#6 by Cody Noneyobizones at Nov 15, 1993 at 7:49 PM EST
	wash me away clean your body of me erase all the memories they will only bring us pain and i've seen, all i'll ever need this is the best part of the song....it's sad, yet melodic and everytime i hear i think of what could have been....

No Picture Alastair Average	#7 by Alastair Angus at Dec 31, 2004 at 10:27 AM EST
	wow, emokid86 that is an impressive interpretation, I'm listening to the song now and I can definately see that now. Also I do also like that end comment by thecomaboy. I never realised what a good songwriter senor bellamy is...

No Picture AJ Rhythm Player	#8 by AJ Frank at May 28, 2006 at 8:55 PM EST
	I think it's about how people are always critsizing and questioning him and won't leave him alone.

No Picture Jerry Lead Player	#9 by Jerry Harris at Aug 8, 2006 at 12:04 PM EST
	Perhaps matt has been cheating or min some other way distant and when his girlfriend asks him about what he's feeling, he cant stand her inquisition or explain himself and tragically the love ends cos of this.

No Picture Tony Average	#10 by Tony Cracknell at Sep 16, 2006 at 2:29 PM EST
	i just love the phaser sound at the end, the way such a powerful song just eases out.

No Picture Ronnie Average	#11 by Ronnie Lee at Sep 26, 2006 at 9:18 PM EST
	Hmmmmm, I've never really thought about what this song is about even though everytime I listen to it I get the 'tingles'. When I just read through the lyrics then I was thinking that it was about growing up and learning stuff about the world, remembering his childhood when he 'used to be so free'. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, great great song.

No Picture matt Average	#12 by matt rigg at Jan 8, 2007 at 9:41 PM EST
	the last verse is so emotional, it nearly makes me cry. An amazing song. My friend wants this song played at his funeral, jst for the last verse. Emotional song, great melody, and really good guitar work

No Picture Seth Wanna Be	#13 by Seth Johnson at Jan 23, 2007 at 7:07 PM EST
	Its two songs, the rhapsody sort of effect of the second song was to balance how heavy the first song. The first song is the "citizen" part, the second is "erased".

No Picture Tommy Wanna Be	#14 by Tommy Déry at Jun 22, 2007 at 5:49 AM EST
	Just read xFinchFanx's interpretation. (Finch are amazing by the way) I like you're view on it. Makes sense.
