I know there are two pervious tabs up for this, but niether of them contain the several 
fills, the bass does not just play the root of the chord if you listen close enough. Alright,

No Picture Toby Wanna Be	#1 by Toby Moran at Mar 7, 1986 at 8:34 PM EST
	this is my favorite song... whenever i cant sleep, i put on this song and im out like a light. his voice is just so soothing, ya know? i think this song is about how everything in the world is so corrupt and... fake? even the trees... and its like not even love can be real anymore..

No Picture Glenn Average	#2 by Glenn Campbell at Mar 11, 1993 at 12:01 PM EST
	I think it's saying your wearings yourself out to impress someone to notice you, and it just never works and then your trying to get away from it. Thom's vocal's are really moving in this, especially in the "I can't help the feeling" part. It really does make me wanna cry

No Picture Caleb Lead Player	#3 by Caleb Kerns at Jun 12, 1997 at 8:19 AM EST
	its about a blow up doll, and this guy who's wanting her to be real. "She Looks like the real thing. She tastes like the real thing, my fake plastic love. "

No Picture Levi Rhythm Player	#4 by Levi Knoebel at Jul 10, 2002 at 9:46 AM EST
	How about the idea that theres a guy involved with a girl and he's just not capable of being anything other than what he is. ie a sensitive, real, soulfull person. Don't we all, on a day to day basis, encounter people who are just completely superficial?
