not sure how many times to reapeat that yet.When you listen you should be able to know 
when it ends,just ring the 2 on d longer till songs done.

Yes i know i put some of the repeats,buti wasnt really expecting to do this so i didnt have 
a written draft or anything,i as bored and just did this.So if a repeat is wrong it should 
eventually be edited.

Any questions or comments or requests please mail ThEUsEd12391@aol.com
I only take request for songs by the used.
Please rate and hope you like it.

	Look you guys, yes the song rocks, but for all you guys saying you relate to the song. You DONT!!!! look I dont think songs can relate to anyone except the person who wrote it. There are some exceptions where the meaning is shallow and about going out and getting drunk and laid, those songs are lame, they arent deep. anyway so I think you can feel a song which I do with this one, but relate no. This song describes a friend or someone they knew who committed suicide. Its a dark song and the music complements. I have always had a sullen respect for people who commit suicide, I think that is what they describe here maybe. There are alot of different meanings that can come from a song this is only one of many.

	this song. wow

No Picture I SUCK!!!!! Average	#4 by I SUCK!!!!! No I Really Do!!!! at Jun 2, 1985 at 7:22 AM EST
	on the website, it says "...and he takes his life" at the end. i can barely hear it but i'm pretty sure that he screams it in the background. this is the best song on the cd if you ask me. i love it. this song and the secret one at the end are the best ones. "he feels alone his heart in his hand he's alone he feels alone i feel..." thats my favorite part. its kinda sad though, cause hes talking about himself.

No Picture Daniel Average	#5 by Daniel Gordon at Dec 3, 1993 at 8:58 PM EST
	This song is Berts description of his relationship with Quinn and how Bert thinks Quinn feels on the inside.

No Picture Ciaran Average	#6 by Ciaran Mc Nally at May 22, 2001 at 11:30 PM EST
	these aren't the exact lyrics, I wish I knew the correct ones because this song is amazing!! so angst ridden and depressing, i love the screaming. I totally feel this song.

No Picture Jonathan Average	#7 by Jonathan Miller at Oct 11, 2006 at 7:30 AM EST
	they are exact at least to the lyric sheets in the cd. unless those are wrong (which i doubt)
