1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motörhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like Motörhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).

2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.

Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion — his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".

The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.

Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.

Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.

Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.

Tank, along with Tyrese, are set to perform in West Oakland at the Paramount Theater on November 2, 2007.

Besides that, he was also known through his songs, 三國戀 (Romance in the 3 Kingdom) and 給我你的愛 (Give Me Your Love) which both are the ending themes for two famous Taiwan drama series. TANK also is the spokesperson for computer game, "激戰" (GuildWars) and composed a song for the game.

Since then, "TANK" had became one of the most popular keyword among new artists to be searched in search engines.

While TANK was choosing songs to be fitted to his debut album, he had uploaded several songs and had set a poll on wretch.cc to be listened by his friends and let them vote for songs to be fitted in his new album. To his surprise, thousands of fans came to his blog to listen to his songs.

TANK's debut album, Fighting 生存之道 (Fighting, The Law of Living) is a fusion of Hip Hop, RnB, Rock and traditional Chinese music. The album has been on the Taiwan album sales chart (G-music chart) number 1 spot for 3 weeks beating Tank's own idol, A Mei, Guang Liang and Rainie Yang.

Too Tired to Wait for Love
Tank Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sick and tired of listening to your habitual lying
I didn't understand it 'cause it's just bad timing
I try to tell her but she won't keep still she'll never know it but she always will
I can't tell you what she's thinking of one thing's for certain and it won't be love
Too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love
She be-littles her lovers and for no good reason
Is there anything left that she could still believe in
She'll be the one that's gonna break your heart

You'll never know it till it falls apart
Too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love
She seems to think that I'm ill, sick in the mind
But does the blind lead the blind I must be careful

So I don't seem unkind you betcha!
Too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love

Overall Meaning

The song "Too Tired to Wait for Love" by Tank is a powerful piece that talks about the aftermath of a relationship that fell apart because of habitual lying and mistrust. One can sense the singer's frustration and exasperation at his partner's behavior, which leads him to believe that he does not have the patience or energy to continue waiting for love. The lyrics show the singer's attempts to make his partner understand his feelings and the potential fallout from her actions, yet she will not listen or change her ways. The singer seems to have given up on the relationship and is ready to move on, and this is reflected in the repeated phrase "too tired to wait for love."

Moreover, the singer seems to understand the root cause of his partner's behavior, as he mentions that she belittles her lovers for no good reason and believes in nothing. He warns that she will be the one to break someone else's heart, just as she has done to him. The lyrics show the singer's contemplative side as he wonders if he should be more careful in handling the situation, so he does not come off as unkind.

Overall, the song speaks volumes about the importance of honesty and trust in relationships. It reminds us that we must be careful with our actions and words, as they can have lasting consequences. The message is clear, sometimes, we need to walk away from a relationship that is draining us and affecting our mental health.
