Savoy Truffle is correct! Isn't that a great, underrated song? HarbouringTheSoul may now pick a song fr us to guess. -------------
|
Posted By: HarbouringTheSoul

Well, maybe not underrated, but certainly a bit lost among all the other great stuff on that album. Excellent song. I picked a song, so ask away. |

Does it have lyrics? (I know it has to have vocals for it to technically be a song, but I'm assuming a more loose, colloquial definition of the word as I'm assuming everyone else is.)
