I know this great song has a name, but I don't know what it is, since
it's one of the hidden tracks off of this great album. Enjoy: "Here's a
nice piece of shit"
(* The whole song is played with fast ska upstrokes)

Then repeat verse and chorus chords.
Next is breakdown, a bass and horn jam with no guitar.
Then play verse chords again, and that's it!
Lyrics:(*these are my own interpretation)
I've got myself stuck in a groove and there's just no escape. Life's just
one long loop tape. Out on the road trying to reach the show, I meet
every fuck alive. Some bastard taught them all to drive, why?
Same thing every day, I've got to get away, yeah. Sleep so I can dream,
things aren't what they seem.
Every time I meet a girl that could be it looks so fake. She's just an
over-developed fifteen. And when the right one comes along, I'm sure I've
found the end, she introduces her boyfriend.
(Chorus)
Getting known means just one thing, I'm either off to work or hell. If
there's a difference I can never tell. I get my check it's already spent,
I owe it every way. Seems life is all work and then pay. Right!
(Chorus)
(Breakdown)
(Verse) It's almost time I ? you that things they won't go wrong. I
probably oughta forget. . .the. . . words? Well jobs suck! people suck!
cars suck! you suck! More than I can tell. When I'm asleep you all can go
to hell!
That's it. I hope you like my version, and I also hope you'll e-mail me
and let me know if you have any requests, comments, questions, or
anything else. If you're a Telegraph fan, we've gotta talk!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TELEGRAPH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
