Send "Oh George" Ringtone to Cell

The train that I got onto up and left that town
Threw it up as it went down
Strange enough it left me rude and turned around
Watched as they all took their vows

Fools were drawing trying to save that day
I don't doubt that anyway

Phase it out until the older ones return
Have a seat and watch it burn
Trace around the corner this is what I've learned
Always waited for my turn

Send "Oh George" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:This song makes me think of someone who love another person, but they are involved with another person. And the effects of sitting on the outside looking in on a relationship.

    General Comment:The title of the song is a tribute to George Harrison (because Dave thought the guitar solo sounded like a Harrison solo), but the song is not about George Harrison.

    General Comment:Whenever I hear this song I imagine a bride or groom sitting at a wedding where their lover did not show up. I just imagine the chaos of people around them worrying about different things and all they can think about is the person they love. It makes sense to me anyway.

    General Comment:I think this song is about the effects of heroin, and how people really try to help their friends check into rehab.
