Armatage Shanks (aka "Claustrophobic
 Mind")
Green Day

With some additional research, I 
uncovered this.  Here are the real 
lyrics to
the song I thought was
called "Claustrophobic Mind".  It's 
real title is "Armatage Shanks" and 
I
guess it was performed at
the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards.  
Sorry about the goof up.  -Adam


Stranded
Lost inside myself
I always have been my own closest 
enemy
Well I'm branded
Maladjusted
Never trusted anyone out of myself

Why am I a sensation
Being a pesimist
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

Erected
Feel rejected
I'm prepared to silence all 3 in a 
year
Well I'm branded
Maladjusted
Never trusted anyone out of myself

I must insist
On being a pesimist
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

Whoa oh, whoa oh

Branded
Lost inside myself
I always have been my own closest 
enemy
Well I'm branded
Maladjusted
Never trusted anyone out of myself

Why am I a sensation
Being a pesimist
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind
Well I'm taking pressure for other 
pessimists
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

Claustrophobic Mind-  GREEN DAY
tabbed by Adam Peiken

Here's a tab for only the truest of 
Green Day fans.  This song is only 
played
at concerts,
and as of August '95, I have never 
seen it in release (even on 
imports).  With
some luck,
this song will show up on Green 
Day's new album, along with "Geek 
Stink Love",
another great rarity.  The lyrics 
(and the title) are guesses.

INTRO:

(downstroke 8'th notes)                 (into verse, fast succession)

Eb|-------------------------------

E|-   Eb-C#-C-Bb 

VERSE:

G#       C#
Stranded,
G#                      C#
Lost inside myself.
             F         C#         
I always had my emotions in 
            Eb
demand.
G#       C#
Tragic,
G#       C#
A rejection.
           F              C# 
I never trusted anyone besides 
                  Eb
myself.

CHORUS:

C#              G#               
I must have said something to get
   Eb               G#
 in this mess,
         C#          G#       
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic 
           Eb                      
mind.
        X2


BRIDGE:    X2
G#      F
Yeah, yeah
G#     F
Yeah, yeah

C#    Eb

There is another verse using the 
same chords.
The first verse is repeated again 
later in the song.
End on an Eb.  If you download this,
 take a minute
write me.  I'm curious how many 
people have
heard of this or know where to find 
it.  Thanks.
-Adam

BTW-  My mail program doesn't always
 work right, and the spacing
might be a bit off. Sorry.
