	now maybe i sound like an idiot for asking... but the title of this song is like a fancy way of saying "sex"....... right?

	This is such a good song!! Chris really gets back with his words. "I've tasted my own blood and now everytime you walk on by I feel like spitting in your eye. This is not the way I pictured getting hurt." Oh man that's so evil!! I love it!!! "Friends don't mean a thing when you can actually feel the knife sticking in your spine"

No Picture Jaakko Wanna Be	#4 by Jaakko Nyman at Aug 31, 1986 at 8:41 AM EST
	Chris demonstrates again his great songwriting abilities. The weird thing about saves the day is that 3 of their best songs dont appear on their albums. Art of Misplacing Firearms, Drag in D Flat, Sell My Old Clothes Im Off To Heaven.

No Picture Sybren Average	#5 by Sybren .... at May 7, 1988 at 2:13 AM EST
	this is a great song as all of stds are, this song is about heartbreak as many iof stds are and its about proably some guy hoos best frined, or his long time friend, stabs him in the back by doing stuff or getting together with some girl he likes

	I think the title means that if he knew where his firearms were, he'd use them on his friend. Like, he never knows where they are, thus it becomes an art. And I guess since he always misplaces his firearms, he can't defend himself physically against people who deceive him, you know?

No Picture Scott Average	#7 by Scott at Mar 31, 1991 at 10:06 PM EST
	"Friends dont mean a thing when you actually feel the knife, sticking in your spine, for a second there I thought that I was fine" my friends are like that there so evil lol

	I think the title of this song refers to putting trust in the wrong people.

No Picture john Wanna Be	#10 by john etling at Feb 11, 2003 at 1:52 PM EST
	I didn't really like this song since i first heard it but after reading the lyrics i was prooved wrong about there being a bad saves the day song. This is the only song that was justifying that
