No Picture Mr. great-1 Professional	#1 by Mr. great-1 coble at Sep 15, 1971 at 2:38 AM EST
	i think its about going to prison and doing drugs aka the long taste of shame...drugs... its been a long time coming....many have served a few...that would be the big house..prison

No Picture Steve Wanna Be	#2 by Steve at Jul 19, 1986 at 5:29 PM EST
	I am not sure about this song. I think it's about a couple when one of the partners (lets say the girl) who is always right made a big mistake and now he is ashamed about it and her partner is happy about seeing her like this and keeps reminding her she wanted to make mistakes like everyone else. But that's just what i think. you can never know with Chris.

No Picture Nick Average	#3 by Nick at Sep 17, 1986 at 5:17 PM EST
	! Definitely fitting in with the "newborn" theme of the rest of the album, the title refers to "tendrils", which are defined as: "A twisting, threadlike structure by which a twining plant, such as a grape or cucumber, grasps an object or a plant for support. " So basically a fresh, or newborn child, clings to his mother or father like a tendril. The lyrics make a lot more sense that way, referring to a child biting off more than it can chew- longing to enter the world that everyone seems to hate. The "Shame shame throw yourself away" line is like a parent angrily ranting almost sarcastically to her child. Or that's how I take it.

No Picture Jesse Rhythm Player	#4 by Jesse Holmes at Apr 6, 1988 at 12:21 PM EST
	ilove this song the lyrics are amazing and the music is top quality

No Picture Tom Rhythm Player	#5 by Tom the Scarecrow at May 26, 1990 at 6:20 AM EST
	I always seen the "sits upon your tongue" not as a drug, but rather, as the pain the other person is giving the singer of the song, whetere it be words 'sitting upon (his/her) tongue or just that gaze full of hate people can give, a gaze thats 'naked in their eyes'... I think it's more about a relationship than drugs, although drugs could be the shame that everyone tries. It could also be cheating or something, cheating he seen for a long time coming, and then the other person just rubs in his face. I'm not really sure though, the only thing I know about this song is that it's awesome

No Picture Jesse Average	#6 by Jesse Hoehn at Mar 25, 1991 at 5:17 AM EST
	I always thought it was about alcohol addiction

No Picture Nic Rhythm Player	#7 by Nic F at Feb 10, 1994 at 7:19 PM EST
	Long time coming Many served the few seems so political to me ...make me remind of the feudal times ..ok .. but it´s all about rage too ..in a personal way

No Picture Fat Man Goz Lead Player	#8 by Fat Man Goz at Nov 26, 1994 at 10:11 PM EST
	i think it is yah about lust with lines like 'Long time coming It seemed to satisfy You longed to taste the shame That everybody tries' i think he feels shameful at how dependent the persona may have been on what he desires 'Give me little bits of more than I can try ' at first i thought it may be about sex but now i think it is about drugs.... taste, everybody tries,

No Picture Taylor Lead Player	#9 by Taylor Dutton at Jan 31, 2005 at 8:03 PM EST
	It's beautiful and disgusting what women can do to you.
