Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Quinn Rhythm Player	#1 by Quinn I killed my last name at Mar 1, 1985 at 2:05 AM EST
	I noticed someone did corrections already, but I thought that I would as well, seeing as there are a LOT of errors in this song. "So the lie now is my weapon Like a bush dried and withered in the sun" "I'd lay my guts out, but they're too small to see It’s kinda cute how I pretend to be Everything but the instrument I am." "Peace or happiness?" "A birth to life is what I am after" "So I won’t ever have the need to bear The total truth to anyone but me" "I'll wash ashore in weeks" Sorry, I just get peeved when lyrics are wrong.
