Armitage Shanks by Green Day (on the import "Teenage Rampage" as well as the 1994 MTV Music Awards)
This is tabbed by ear but it and the lyrics are pretty close. I had a hard time tabbing this 'cause you can barely hear the guitar on the song.

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
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-------------------------------- Eb-C#-C-Bb
VERSE:
Stranded,
Lost inside myself.
I always had my emotions in demand.
Tragic,
A rejection.
I never trusted anyone besides myself.
CHORUS:
I must have said something to get in this mess,
X2
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind.
BRIDGE: X2
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
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.
BTW- My mail program doesn't always work right, and the spacing might be a bit off. Sorry.
