Any thoughts on what this song's about?!
One of my favourite, but never really got my head around i'ts meaning.
I've read that it's about Eddie's truck, but surely not?!!

Anyone?!

    I'll let some one else explain it because there are folk with far better explanations regarding PJ lyrics than I could ever give. :)

    I just stopped in to say that it's on the cd player right now and it is a rocking good song! :D
    NOPE!!!

    In one of the early boots Ed explains it's about his body. Started making sense to me after I heard that.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Hey, you're right. That does make sense! Even the truck thing makes sense, but the body is a bit more satisfying.

    And Jeanie, you're right. It's a damn fine song. Listened to nothing but Vs for a week now! Like being 16 again!!

    If you notice, it's always on the setlist when he is sick. Which is ironic in a way, cause singing that live has GOT to be further abuse on the poor thing :p

    Ah well this isn't VS that I'm listening to. It's actually a compilation cd that I put together to introduce a friend to the joy that is PJ. I liked my efforts so much I made an extra for myself. :) So it's kinda a Jeanie's favorites PJ cd. :D

    But yes, Vs is awesome, although I was a bit older when I heard it for the first time! :D:o Anyway I can't ever listen to Go without cranking it which is exactly what just happened!!!
    NOPE!!!

    I had heard that Dave A actually wrote "Go." IT is definitely a drummers tune, the beat drives

    It sounds like this song is about child abuse, but I think that its about a relationship gone bad. If you read some of the lyrics it makes sense.
    "Please don't go out on me, don't go out on me now
    never acted up before, don't go on me now
    i swear i never took it for granted, just thought of it now
    suppose i abused you, just passing it on"

    "Please, please, please...
    don't go on me
    don't go on me
    don't go on me
    don't go on me
    please...
    don't you want me
    don't go on me
    please...
    don't go on me "
