No Picture Stefano Average	#1 by Stefano Santin at May 12, 1970 at 5:20 AM EST
	Wow, that is a really complex interpretation of the lyrics, concidering they were DRUNK and STONED when they wrote it. I personally thing it's about nothing. Thom tends to just put things together that sound cool. (I think that's in thier later days, though) I totally love the song though. I can just imagine Thom drooling lying on a couch belting into a mic.

No Picture Josh Wanna Be	#2 by Josh at Nov 19, 1973 at 5:05 AM EST
	the song is about the past coming abck to haunt you. you can run from it hide from it crush it but its always there thats why we are all broken no mater what we do and why cant we forget?

No Picture Sam Wanna Be	#3 by Sam Kearley at Jun 30, 1976 at 12:09 PM EST
	Awesome song, i especially love the chord changes and the music.

No Picture + Dissolve + Rhythm Player	#4 by + Dissolve + at Aug 10, 1977 at 5:21 AM EST
	"Chasing you home"... yea, that supports it too. I almost forgot.
