Climbing on a mountain

Floating out on the sea

Far from lights of a city

The elements they speak to me...

Whispering that life

Existed long before greed...

Balancing the world

On its knee...

Don't see some men as half empty

See them half full of shit

Thinking that we're all but slaves

There ain't gonna be

No middle anymore

It's been said before

The haves be having more

Yet still bored

Won't someone save?

Won't someone save

The world?

All Night

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/McCready/Irons/Gossard/Ament

Got all night

Plenty of time

Take these chains

From my eyes

So alive

Getting' it prime

Take 'em there

Before you die

Why be satisfied

We've got all night

Please be here

Top of the stairs

No place for

The president

Build some fears

Left outside

Fuck, be content

To just get by

Why be satisfied

We've got all night

You scream and wail

You see who cares

Scream and wail

See who cares

Life has nothin' to do with

Killin' time

So why be satisfied

We've got... all night

We've got all night

We've got all night

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKAll Or None

Artist: Pearl Jam


It's a hopeless... situation

And I'm starting to believe

That this hopeless... situation

Is what I'm trying to achieve

But I try

To run on

Towards

All or none,... all or none

Here's the selfless confession

Leading me back to war

Can we help that,.. our destinations

Are the ones we've been before

I still try

To run on

Towards all

Or none,... all or none

To myself I... surrender

To the one I'll never please

But I still try,.. to run on

I still try,.. to run on

But it's

All or none,... all or none.

All Those Yesterdays

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Gossard

Don't you think you oughtta rest?

Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down?

Don't you think you want to sleep?

Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down

Tonight?

Don't you think you've done enough?

Oh, don't you think you've got enough? well maybe...

You don't think there's time to stop

There's time enough for you to lay your head down,

Tonight, tonight

Let it wash away

All those yesterdays

What are you running from?

Taking pills to get along

Creating walls to call your own

So no one catches you?

Drifting off and doing all the things...

That we... all do

Let them wash away



All those paper plates


You've got time... you've got time to escape

There's still time... it's no crime to escape

It's no crime to escape... it's no crime to escape

There's still time, so escape

It's no crime, crime..

Alone

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard/Ament/Abbruzzese

Mmm, Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone Ever before.

Had a woman long as he can remember. His to forget

But he can't, he can't.

Out of bed and he dreams in the shower. She's standing naked, He's apologizing.

Reaches for her and the water turns red. Got woken up to be Burned, burned again.

Go it alone. You got it, so it goes.

Got his knees to his face, she can't take it any other way.

On the street he's walking wounded. Doesn't smile for the child at play.

Thoughts of suicide and alleviation. Anything to get his heart off of Nicole.

Go it alone. You got it so it goes.

Got his knees to his face...he can't take it for another day. Yeah, yeah.

Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone

Ever before.

Had his woman long as he can remember.

Tries to forget, but he can't... he can't....

Amongst The WavesArtist: Pearl JamComposer: Pearl JamWhat used to be a house of cardsHas turned into a reservoirSaved the tears that were waterfallingLet’s go swim tonight, darling

& Once outside the undertowJust you & me & nothing moreIf not for love I would be drowningI’ve seen it work both ways, but I am up

Riding high amongst the wavesI can feel Like IHave a soul that has been savedI can feel like IPut away my early grave

Gotta say it nowBetter loudThan too late

Remember back the early daysWhen you were young & thus amazedSuddenly the channel changedThe first time you saw blood

Cut to later, now you’re strongYou’ve bled yourself, the wounds are goneIt’s rare then where is nothing wrongSurvived & you’re amongst the fittestLove ain’t love until you give it up

Riding hi amongst the wavesI can feel like IHave a soul that has been savedI can see the lightComing through the clouds in rays

Gotta say it nowBetter loudthan too late

One, two, three, four, five against one

Said one, two, three, four, five against one

Five, five...five, five...five against one

Torture from you to me

Abducted from the street

I'd rather be...

I'd rather be with...

I'd rather be with an animal

Why would you wanna hurt me?

So frightened of your pain...

I'd rather be...



I'd rather be...

I'd rather be...


I'd rather be...



I'd rather be...



Said one, two, three, four, five against one


One, two, three, four, five against one

PEARL JAM SONGBOOK



Army Reserve

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/D. Echols

How long must she stand

Before the ground, it gives way

To an endless fall

She can feel this

War on her face

Stars on her pillow

Folding in darkness

Begging for slumber

I'm not blind

I can see it coming

Looks like lightning

In my child's eye

I'm not frantic

I can feel it coming

Violently shakes

My body

Her son's slanted

Always giving her

The sideways eye

An empty chair where dad sits

How loud can silence get?

And mom, she reassures

To contain him

But it's becoming a lie

She tells herself

And everyone else

Father is risking

His life for our freedoms

I'm not blind

I can see it coming

Looks like lightning

In my childs eye

I'm not frantic

I can feel it coming

Darling you'll save me

If you save yourself

Around The Bend

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

I am wishing you a well

Mind at peace within your cell

Covers up, I cast you off

I'll be watching as you breathe

I lie still, you move, I send

You,... off around the bend

I hold your head deep in my arms

My fingertips they close your eyes

Off you dream, my little child

There's a sun around the bend

There's a sun around the bend

All the evenings close like this

All these moments that I've missed

Please forgive me, won't you, dear?

Please forgive and let me share...

With... you... around the bend

You're an angel when you sleep

How I want your soul to keep

On and on around the bend

Bee Girl

Artist: Pearl Jam


Bee girl, you're gonna die.

You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy.

Do your dances alone in your room.

Becoming a star will become your doom.

Bee Girl, be a girl.


You know time is long, and life is short.

Begin to live while you still can.

Believe in nothing, believe me,

Those who can be trusted can change their mind.

When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time.

Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind.

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKBetter Man

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop

Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech

As he opens the door, she rolls over...

Pretends to sleep, as he looks her over

She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...

She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...

Can't find a better man


Ohh...

Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...

She tells herself, oh...

Memories back when she was bold and strong

And waiting for the world to come along...

Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone

She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...


She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...




She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way

She needs him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again

Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)



Can't find a better...man...

Big Wave

Artist: Pearl Jam


I used to be a crustacean

In an underwater nation

and I surf in celebration

Of a billion adaptations

Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.


I feel the need

Planted in me

Millions of years ago

Can't you see

The oceans size?

Defining time

And tide

Arising

Arms laid upon me

Being so kind

To let me ride

I scream in affirmation

Of connecting dislocations

And exceeding limitations

Be achieving levitation



Got me a ride.

I got me a ride.

Black

Artist: Pearl Jam


Hey...oooh...

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me as her body once did

All five horizons revolved around her soul

As the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds

Of what was everything?

Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

How quick the sun can, drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah...

Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why

Can't it be, can't it be mine

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKBu$hleaguer

Artist: Pearl Jam


How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable.

This is such a happening tailpipe of a party.

Like sugar, the guests are so refined, (look like melting m and ms)

A confidence man, but why so beleaguered?

He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer

Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike

Drilling for fear, makes the job simple

Born on third, thinks he got a triple

Blackout weaves its way through the cities


Blackout weaves its way,...

I remember when you sang

That song about today

Now it's tomorrow and

Everything has changed

A think tank of aloof multiplication

A nicotine wish and a Columbus decanter

Retrenchment and hoggishness

The aristocrat choir sings

'What's the ruckus?'

The haves have not a clue

The immenseness of suffering

And the odd negotiation, a rarity

With onionskin plausibility of life,...

And a keyboard reaffirmation



Blackout weaves its way,...

I remember when you sang

That song about today

Now it's tomorrow and

Everything has changed

Bugs

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Pearl Jam

(All these...)

I got bugs

I got bugs in my room

Bugs in my bed

Bugs in my ears

Their eggs in my head

Bugs in my pockets

Bugs in my shoes

Bugs in the way, I feel about you

Bugs on my window

Trying to get in

They don't go nowhere

Waiting, waiting...

Bugs on my ceiling

Crowded the floor

Standing, sitting, kneeling...

A few block the door

And now the question's:

Do I kill them?

Become their friend?

Do I eat them?

Raw or well done?

Do I trick them?

I don't think they're that dumb

Do I join them?

Looks like that's the one

I got bugs on my skin

Tickle my nausea

I let it happen again

They're always takin' over

I see they surround me, I see...

See them deciding my fate

Oh, that which was once...was once up to me...

Now it's too late

I got bugs in my room...one on one

That's when I had a chance

I'll just stop now

I'll become naked

And with them...I'll become one

Like an ocean

In disguise

I don't live for

Ever

You can't keep

Me here

I wanna race

With the sundown

I want a last breath

I don't let out

Forgive

Every being

The bad feelings

It's just me

I won't wait

For answers

You can't keep

Me here

I wanna rise

And say goodnight

Wanna take

A look on the other side

I've lived

All those lives

It's been wonder

Full at night

I will live for

Ever

You can't keep

Me here

PEARL JAM SONGBOOK



Comatose

Artist: Pearl Jam

Consider me an object. Put me in a vacuum.

Free of all conditions. Free of air and friction.

Yeh, I'll be hanging upside down. An there I will swing.

For all eternity.

Feel it rising,... Yeh, next stop falling

Feel it rising,... Comatose, with no fear of falling

Consider me an abcess. Leave me in my vacuum.

Blood on all the pistons. Running my transmission




Feel it rising

High above,... I'll break the law,... If it's illegal

To be in love,... Leave the hatred,.. On the cross

Yeh, I'll be hanging upside down. And there I will swing.

For all eternity.




Feel it rising

Something never thought you'd be part of.

Come Back

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Eddie Vedder

If I keep holding out,... will the light shine through?

Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I feel

I've been waiting out the days,... Come Back.

I have been planning out,... All that I'd say to you

Since you slipped away,... Know that I still remain true

I've been wishing out the days,..

Please say, that if you hadn't of gone now

I wouldn't have lost you another way

From wherever you are,.... Come Back.

And these days, they linger on

And I'm the night, as I'm waiting on

The real possibility I may meet you in my dream

I go to sleep

If I don't fall apart,.... will the memories stay clear

So you had to go,......... and I had to remain here

But the strangest thing to date

So far away

And yet you feel so close

And I'm not gonna question it any other way

There must be an open door

For you to

Come Back

And the days, they linger on

And every night, what I'm waiting for

Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream

And sometimes you're there

And you're talking back to me

Come the morning I could swear you're next to me

And it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'll be here

Come Back

Come Back

I'll be here

Corduroy

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Pearl Jam

The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess

I take your entrance back...can't let you roam inside my head

I don't want to take what you can give...

I would rather starve than eat your bread...

I would rather run but I can't walk...

Guess I'll lie alone just like before...

I'll take the varmint's path...oh, and I must refuse your test

Push me and I will resist...this behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know...

They can buy, but can't put on my clothes...

I don't want to limp for them to walk...

Never would have known of me before...

I don't want to be held in your debt...

I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed...

I'm already cut up and half dead...

I'll end up alone like I began...

Everything has chains...absolutely nothing's changed

Cropduster

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/Cameron

Light green to green, dark green, brown..

Every life is falling down

Brown to black, it's coming back

Dies to be part of the ground

Seed to seedling, root to stem

Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference,...

Every life is looking in

Swallowing seeds on the deathbed,...

Dig a hole in,... the garden.

Everyone is practicing,...

But this world's an accident.

I was the fool because I thought

I thought the world

Turns out the world thought me

It's all the other way round

We're upside down

Dad, he's gone up flames,..

But this ain't no movie

This ain't no book you can close

When the big lie hits your eye.

Everybody's practicing,....

Our world's an accident

I was the fool because I thought

Let the fluency set it down.

There's an upside of down.

The moon is rolling round the world.

Daughter

Artist: Pearl Jam


Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room

Young girl...violins(ence)...center of her own attention

Mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it

Tries to make her proud

The shades go down, it's in her head

Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...

Don't call me daughter, not fit to

The picture kept will remind me



Don't call me...

She holds the hand that holds her down

She will...rise above...



Don't call me daughter, not fit to be

Dead Man Walking

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Sailing on my every step. Inching off of the earth.

Is magnified by the things I've done.

The thing that I've become.

Every lift of my hand. Coffee cup and back.

Is magnified by the things I've done. The things I've seen. The things I've caused.

I'm a dead man walking.

The hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me.

Cast a shadow... across, onto me.

The hallways are all mocking me.

What I've become they're all mocking me.

I'm a dead man walking. A dead man walking. A dead man walking.

I'm a dead man walking. Dead man walking. Dead man walking.

Artist: Pearl Jam


She nursed him there, over a night

I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay

What to say...what to say

But soon she was down, soon he was low

At a quarter past...a holy no...

She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded...

A dissident is here

Escape is never, the safest path

A dissident, a dissident is here

And to this day, she's glided on

Always home but so far away

Like a word misplaced

Nothing said, what a waste

When she had contact...with the conflict...

There was meaning, but she sold him to the state

She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold...she folded...

A dissident is here



She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded...

Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded...

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard

Down. Fall by the wayside... no getting out...

Down. Cry me a river... dried up and dammed.

The names can be changed... but the place is still the same.

I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.

Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.

Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.

One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.

And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

Won't let the light escape from me.

Won't let the darkness swallow me.

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Drifting, drifting, drifting away.

I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away.

It's not the world that's heavy, just the things that you save.

And I'm drifting, drifting away.

Drifting, drifting, drifting uh-huh

I rid myself of worries, and the worries were gone.

I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog.

I'm just drifting, drifting along.

The suitcoats say, 'There is money to be made.'

They get so damn excited, nothing gets in their way

My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.

It's good for drifting, drifting away.

The suitcoats say, 'There is money to be made.'

They get so excited, nothing gets in their way

My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.

It's good for drifting, drifting away.

Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh.

I feel like going back there, but never for long.

I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone.

I'm just drifting, drifting along.

Drifting, drifting along. Drifting, drifting along.

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKEducation

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

I'm questioning my education

Is my education who I am now?

While you're deciding, I've been finding

Looking around in the here and now.

If I've been taught from the beginning

Would my fears now by winning?

I'm questioning my own equation

Is my own equation relevant somehow?

The flags are waving, the news is breaking

See the man who can't pick out his own tie

If I've been taught from the beginning

Would my fears now be winning?

A wild world, figuring out the answers

I'll be in my own dance and I, I, yeah, I, I....

I'm questioning my education

Rewind and what does it show?

Could be, the truth it becomes you

I'm a seed, wondering why it grows

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKElderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town

Artist: Pearl Jam


I seem to recognize your face

Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

Lifetimes are catching up with me

All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place

But no one's ever taken me

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...


I swear I recognize your breath

Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising

Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former

It's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf

I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate

Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

I just want to scream...hello...

My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return

But now here you are, and here I am

Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...



Hearts and thoughts they fade...away

The sirens scream wanton attention

Time to take heed and change direction

Time to take stock and make omissions

Evacuation.... Evacuation...

Time to take leave of formal functions

Time to plant seeds of reconstruction

No time, this time, to feign reluctance

It's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way

Bets put aside, you're evil

Let's crawl into your face

A vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake-you-up

Time for... Evacuation... Evacuation... Evacuation...

Evacuation...

Evacuation... Evacuation...

There was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear

(In the sand)

Altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign..

Faithful

Artist: Pearl Jam


Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here

It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around

Or been stepped on

Whatever the notion, we laced in our prayers

The man upstairs is used to all of this noise

I'm through with screaming

And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes

Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes like this

We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it








Were' faithful, we all believe, we all believe it

So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it

M.Y.T.H. is

Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear

We never listen

Voice inside so drowned out

Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing

And everything is you

Me you, you me, it's all related

What's a boy to do?

Just be darling and I will be too

Faithful to you

Fatal

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Gossard

How good is he? How warm are his eyes?

You'll see it's not a reprise

Did he arrive too late and too tethered away

To put on his suit and his tie?

How good is he? How warm is his heart or ego, telling him which place to park?

Did he relate? The message is clearly, hardly grounds for dismissal

Outright... grounds for dismissal outright...

I wake up and wait up

When anger's in fashion


It echoes through the mansions


When April's in May, oh, uh-oh


The answers are fatal




If he's truly out of sight, is he truly out of mind?

If he's truly out of sight...

Force of NatureArtist: Pearl JamComposer: Pearl JamUnderstand she’s a force of natureContraband hiding deep inside her soulExorcising her will to lose controlShe lets go

A common man, he don’t stand a chance, noWonderland pulling Alice in the holeNo way to save someone who won't take the ropeAnd just let’s go

One man stands the edge of the oceanA beacon on dry landEyes upon the horizonIn the dark before the dawn

Hurricane has the trade winds blowingA gale force shaking windows in the stormShipwreck on the rock that he calls homeWith one light on

Somewhere there’s a siren singingA song only he hearsAll the strength that you might thinkWould disappear,.. Resolving

One man stands alone, AwaitingFor her to come homeEyes upon the horizonIn dark before the darkness meets the dawn.

Makes me ache,... Makes me shake,...Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

Last I saw, he was out there waitingA silhouette in the black light, full moon glowIn the sand there he stands upon the shoreForevermore

Somewhere there’s a siren singingA song only he hearsAll the strength that you might thinkWould disappear, resolving

One man stands along, AwaitingFor her to come homeEyes are closed,.. You cannot knowBut his heart don’t seem to roam.

The direction of the eye

So misleading

The defection of the soul

Nauseously quick

I don't question

Our existence

I just question

Our modern needs

I will walk...with my hands bound

I will walk...with my face blood

I will walk...with my shadow flag

Into your garden

Garden of stone

After all is done

We're still alone

I won't be taken

Yet I'll go...with my hands bound



Into your garden

Garden of stone

I don't show...

I don't share...

I don't need

What you have to give...

Ooooh, I will walk...with my hands bound



Into your garden

I'm waiting 'till sundown

I'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine,

Wait for the moment

The moment between us, the fire is made now,

Harder to touch

I wanted to get right


I wanted to get right with you

Bakers dozen parades,

Stand and debate

Out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must

Keeping your boots on, float with the now,

Hot to the touch

Concrete underground, cast out everyday,

The dregs of society

Underbelly, beside me, rejoice and follow thee

Packing in and overgrown

Love is deep,... dig it out

Standing in a hole alone

Working for something,.. that one can never hold

A place in the clouds.

Your place to hide oh my oh

I'm flying away, away

I'm driving away, away

Seeking new ways, before I miss it all

The TV, she talks to me

Breaking news and building walls

Selling us, what I dont need

I never knew soap made you taller

So I'm riding away, away

Hiding away, away

So much talk it makes no sense at all

Given To Fly

Artist: Pearl Jam


He could've tuned in, tuned in

But he tuned out

A bad time, nothing could save him

Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out

He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles

He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree

The wind rose up, set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw

Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now'

Arms wide open with the sea as his floor

Oh, power, oh

He's.. flying.....whole

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share

His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere

But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed

By faceless men, well, fuckers

He still stands

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away

The love he receives is the love that is saved

And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky

A human being that was given to fly

High.. flying

Oh, oh

High.. flying

Oh, oh

He's flying

Stumble as it's crumbling out of reach

Designate my luck

Ah resignate...

This power has no roots to guide, no role...

Trust in rusted minds refused to go

Unwillingness, it's meaningless to walk away in vain

Designate my will

Ah designate my fill

Resignate

My will is crashing, synapses flashing slow

Ah days like frame by frame, where do they go?

Yeah why fight? forget it

Cannot spend it after I go

Roll 'em high...

Throw them again...

All gods' dice...

Monkey driven, call this living, hahaha

Ah too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole

Minding yours, what's mine not yours

Will finish us off

Ah designate my view

Ah resignate my will, my will, my will, I will

Wanna leave it allWanna give it upWanna see it, gone once & for all

Wanna feel withdrawalWant an overhaulWanna be there, hard as a statueBlack as a tattoo, never to wash away

Gonna take me an astral planeI'm gonna tunnel through denialI’m gonna shake this thingI wanna shake this pain 'for I retire

I'm gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go awayI'm sick of everything,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go awayI'm gonna see my friend,.. I'm gonna see my friend,.. Make it go away




Gone

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Eddie Vedder

No more upset mornings

No more tired evenings

This American dream

I am disbelieving

When the gas in my tank

Feels like money in the bank

Gonna blow it all this time

Take me one last ride

For the lights of this city

They only look good when I'm speeding

Gonna leave em all behind me

Cause this time

I'm gone

Long gone

This time I'm letting go of it all

So long

Cause this time I'm gone

In the far off distance

As my tail-lights fade

No one thinks to witness

But they will someday

Feel like a question is forming

and the answers far

I will be what i could be

Once I get out of this town

For the lights of this city

They have lost all feeling

Gonna leave em all behind me

Cause this time

I'm gone

Long gone

This time I'm letting go of it all

So long

Long gone, I'm letting go of it all

Cause this time I'm gone

If nothing is everything

If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

If nothing is everything

If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

Green Disease

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

It's a disease,... and they're all green

It emanates from their being

A satiation,.. with occupation

And like weeds,.. with big leaves

Stealing light from what's beneath

Where they have more,...

Still they take more

Course I know,.. then I don't

There's a stowaway with my throat

It's deceiving...

I don't believe him

We can scream,.. out our doors

Behind the wall a fat man snores

In his dreams he's,...

Choking Ti leaves

Well I guess

There's nothing wrong with what you say

But don't sell me,

'There can't be better ways'

Tell the captain

'This boats not safe

And we're drowning.'

Turns out

He's the one making waves

I said

There's nothing wrong with what you say

Believe me

Just asking you to sway

No white

Or black

Just grey

Can you feel this...

World with your heart and not your brain?

Grievance

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Have a drink they're buying

Bottom of, bottle of denial

Big guy,... big eye,... watching me...

Have to wonder what it sees...

(Sin...)

Progress... laced with... ramifications...

Freedom's big plunge

Pull the innocent from a crowd

Raise the sticks then bring em down

If they fail to obey... oh if they fail to obey,

For every tool they lend us... a loss of independence

I pledge my grievance to the flag

Cause you don't give blood... to take it back again

Oh we're all deserving something more

Progress,... taste it,... invest-it-all

Champagne breakfast for everyone

Break the innocent when they're proud...

Raise the stakes,... then bring em down...

If they fail to obey... oh if they fail to obey

Pledge your grievance to the flag

Cause you don't give blood... then take it back again

Oh we're all deserving something more.

I want to breathe

Follow the scene

I want to taste

Everyone I see

I want to run when I'm up high

I want to run into the sea

I only want life.... to be...

I just want to be...

I will feel alive... as long as I am free...

Habit

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Seen it happen to a couple of friends...

See it happen and the message it sends...

Taking off for what's an obvious fall...

Just to see what all the fuss is about...

It's not your way...Not your way... It's not your way

Another habit says it's in love with you...

Another habit says its love's overdue...

Another habit like an unwanted friend...

I'm so happy with my righteous self...

It's not your way...Not your way... It's not your way

Never thought you'd habit...

Speaking as an individual who will see the year 2000

Never thought you'd habit...

Never me...never you...never me.

Hail Hail

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard/Ament

Is there room for both of us?

Both of us apart?

Are we bound out of obligation?

Is that all we've got?

I get the words, and then I get to thinkin'

I don't wanna think, I wanna feel

How do I feel?

How do I?...

If you're the only one, will I never be enough?

Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love

Swore I'd love you till the day I die, ah and beyond...

Are we going to the same place? If so, can I come?

It's egg rolling thick and heavy

All the past you carry

Oh, I could be new... you underestimate me

If you're the only one, will I never be enough?

Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love

Sometimes realize, I could only be as good as you'll let me

Are you woman enough to be my man?

Bandaged hand in hand

I find it on the run in a race that can't be won

All hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah

If you're my only one, so could you only one?

I want to be your one, enough...

Your one...your one...your one...

Hard To Imagine

Artist: Pearl Jam


Paint a picture visions only grey

Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.

I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long.

It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.

Ohh [x4]

Tear into yourself count days on your arm.

Ah the beating ticking like a bomb.

After having seen all that they saw.

It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.

Ohh [x4]

Things were different then. All is different now.

I tried to explain. Somehow.


I tried to explain. Somehow.

Ohh [x4]


I tried to explain. I hope this works somehow.


I tried to explain. Oh, somehow.

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Ament

Tell me what I wanna hear

This shits too good to be true

My dear

Tell me lies

Tell me lies, tell me


Help me

Storybook keeps from hurting me

You see

Shell of the man from the sea

Tell me lies



Tell me why

Tell me why, tell me

Tell me why, tell me

Tell me lies,...

Help me

Reservoir

Of hate and fear

Invisible

In repair

A hundred thieves

Cast a spell

This is hell

Help me

The man they call my enemy, I've seen his eyes

He looks just like me, a mirror

The more you read, we've been deceived

Everyday it becomes clearer,...

Clearer.

Not my enemy,.. no, not my enemy,..

Don't speak for me. No, not my enemy.

Composer: Vedder

You fool, dude what do what you think you're doing?

So you're lost, my problem, that's not

Conductor says, 'off of my train'

We understood, guest/host relationships ain't my thing

Even if I could, you ain't the kind of person I would help anyway

I'm about to explode

Cuz I can't carry your load

Hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker

You're cool, and cold in your calculations

We're friends, only because of my situation

I'm about to unload

Cuz I can't carry your load

Hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker

Hitchhiker...

So be gone, too soon is too late

I don't want no delay

So be gone, get your food off someone else's plate

Go tell all your friends

I'm an idiot and you're great

Now go, hitchhiker... go, hitchhiker

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKI Am Mine

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

The selfish, they're all standing in line

Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time

Me, I figure as each breath goes by

I only own my mind

The North is to South what the clock is to time

There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life

I know I was born and I know that I'll die

The in between is mine

I am mine

And the feeling, it gets left behind

All the innocence lost at one time

Significant, behind the eyes

There's no need to hide...

We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying

The full moon is looking for friends at high tide

The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied

I only know my mind

I am mine

And the meaning, it gets left behind

All the innocents lost at one time

Significant, behind the eyes

There's no need to hide...

We're safe tonight

And the feelings that get left behind

All the innocents broken with lies

Significance, between the lines

(We may need to hide)

And the meanings that get left behind

All the innocents lost at one time

We're all different behind the eyes

There's no need to hide

I'm Open

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/Irons

A man lies in his bed, in a room with no door

He waits hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter

After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank

As the ceiling at which he's staring

He's alive, but feels absolutely nothing

So, is he?

When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him

By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact

No trade-backs...

So this is what it's like to be an adult

If he only knew now what he knew then...

I'm open

I'm open

Come in

Come in

Come in

Come in

I'm open

I'm open

Come in

Come in

Come in

Come in

Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers

He decides to dream...

Dream up a new self... for himself

Immortality

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Pearl Jam

Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her

Cannot find the comfort in this world

Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers

Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...

A truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...

But there's a trapdoor in the sun...

Immortality...

As privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show

Swept out through the cracks beneath the door

Holier than thou, how?

Surrendered...executed anyhow

Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...

A truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...

He saw the trapdoor in the sun...

I cannot stop the thought...I'm running in the dark...

Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...

Oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...

And whiskers in the sink...

Truants move on...cannot stay long

Some die just to live...

Ohh...

In Hiding

Artist: Pearl Jam


I shut and locked the front door

No way in or out

I turned and walked the hallway

And pulled the curtains down

I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around

But nothing's sound, nothing's sound

I'd stay but my last tab left me

Ignored all my rounds

Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls

They were upside down

I swallow my words to keep from lying

I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I..

I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving

I surfaced when all of my pen wasn't writing

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

It's been about three days now

Since I've been aground

No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now

It's funny when things change so much

It's all state of mind

I swallowed my words to keep from lying

I swallowed my face just to keep from biting I, I...

I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving

I surfaced and all around me was enlightened

Now I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

I'm in hiding

Up here in my tree, yeah

Newspapers matter not to me, yeah

No more crowbars to my head, yeah

I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah

Wave to all my friends, yeah

They don't seem to notice me, no

All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh

Sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, (tem-pted)

Up here so high I start to shake

Up here so high the sky I scrape

I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest

Just like innocence

(Eddie's down in his home)

(Oh, the blue sky it's his home)

(Eddie's blue sky home)

(Oh, the blue sky it's his home)

I remember when, yeah

I swore I knew everything, oh yeah

Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah

It's growing up just like me, yeah

I'm so light the wind he shakes

I'm so high the sky I scrape

I'm so light I hold just one breath and go back to my nest

Sleep with innocence...

Up here so high the boughs they break

Up here so high the sky I scrape

Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse

Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

Baby got it, still got it

Composer: Cameron

In the moonlight...

Gettin'. Wind out to get back. It's a...

Steady shore to her land.

It's gettin' closer to the fence.

In the moonlight...

Givin'. Two lost wings.

A beautiful star sea.

A wonderful sense of beauty.

In the moonlight...

It's a love drawn nearer.

Darkened days are spent in.

A night bird is followin' you all the time.

Under a star-lined ceiling...

And darkness so sleep. Ah,...

Your sense is revealed...

In the moonlight...






A night bird is followin' you,... it's followin' you.

Artist: Pearl Jam


I will light the match this morning, so I won't be alone

Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone

Oh I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam

Oh I will make my way, through, one more day in...hell

How much difference does it make

How much difference does it make...

I will hold the candle, till it burns up my arm

I'll keep takin' punches, until their will grows tired

Oh I will stare the sun down, until my eyes go blind

Hey I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind

how much difference does it make

how much difference does it make..

how much difference...

I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune

I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room

How much difference

How much difference

How much difference does it make

How much difference does it make...

Inside Job

Artist: Pearl Jam


Underneath this smile lies everything

all my hopes, anger, pride and shame

make yourself a pact, not to shut doors on the past

just for today,... I am free

I will not lose my faith

It's an inside job today

I know this one thing well,...

I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin

breathing insecurity out and in

Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight

pursuing the greater way for all,... human light.

How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.

How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.

I will not lose my faith

It's an inside job today

Holding on, the light of night

On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul

Again.

Let me run into the rain

To be a human light again

Let me run into the rain

To shine a human light today

Life comes from within your heart and desire

Life comes from within my heart and desire

Life comes from within your heart and desire

Insignificance

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

All in all,... it's no one's fault...

Excuses turn to carbon walls...

Blame it all on chemical intercourse.

The swallowed seeds of arrogance...

Breeding in the thoughts of ten...

Thousand fools that fight Irreverence.

The full moon is dead skin...

The one down here's wearing thin...

So set up... the ten pins.

As the human tide rolls in...

Like a ball that's spinning.

Bombs,... dropping down....

Overhead,... underground...

It's instilled...to wanna live.

Bombs,... dropping down,...

Please forgive,..our hometown...

In our insignificance

Turn the jukebox up, he said...

Dancing in irreverence...

Play C-3,... let the song protest.

The plates began to shift...

Perfect lefts come rolling in...

I was alone,... and far away, hey..

When I heard the band start playin'

On the lip...late take off

Bombs,.. dropping down...

Overhead,.. underground...

It's instilled...to wanna live.

Bombs,... dropping down,...

Please forgive... our hometown...

In our insignificance

Feel like resonance of distance...

In the blood...the iron lies

It's instilled... to wanna live.

Jeremy

Artist: Pearl Jam


At home

Drawing pictures

Of mountain tops

With him on top

Lemon yellow sun

Arms raised in a V

The dead lay in pools of maroon below

Daddy didn't give attention

To the fact that mommy didn't care

King Jeremy the wicked

Ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today


Clearly I remember

Pickin' on the boy

Seemed a harmless little fuck

Oh, but we unleashed a lion

Gnashed his teeth

And bit the recess lady's breast

How could I forget

He hit me with a surprise left

My jaw left hurtin

Oh, dropped wide open

Just like the day

Like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection

And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear

King Jeremy the wicked

Ruled his world




Try to forget this... (try to forget this)

Try to erase this... (try to erase this)

Now Johnny he be having lots of womenThe reason he be smiling known to him

On the left the girl in red so innocentNever sheds her clothes even when she goes to bedThe type of girl responsible foriginal sinCan’t help but wonder where & who she is

And the memory is always getting clearerFor that’s 30 years or more I’ve loved her soAnd how I need to know,.. Why she’s with him

And I sleep w/the light on,.. In case she comesAnd I sleep w/the light on,.. In case she

Recently as I was waiting on a dreamShe came to visit lost & lonely meShe leaned over the bed & with her lips above my headShe asked if I had seen her Johnny

Oh and I hide my disappointmentCause for years I had been hopingOh yeh how I had been hopingThat when she came, she would come for me

I hide my disappointmentCause for years I had been hopingthat when she came,she'd be coming just for me




Just BreatheArtist: Pearl JamComposer: Pearl JamYes I understand that every life must end, aw huh,..As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh,..I’m a lucky man to count on both handsThe ones I love,..

Some folks just have one,Others they got none, aw huh,..

Stay with me,..Let’s just breathe.

Practiced are my sins,Never gonna let me win, aw huh,..Under everything, just another human being, aw huh,..Yeh, I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this worldTo make me bleed.

Stay with me,..You’re all I see.

Did I say that I need you?Did I say that I want you?Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..No one knows this more than me.As I come clean.

I wonder everydayas I look upon your face, aw huh,..Everything you gaveAnd nothing you would take, aw huh,..Nothing you would take,..Everything you gave.

Did I say that I need you?Oh, Did I say that I want you?Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..No one knows this more than me.As I come clean.

Nothing you would take,..everything you gave.Hold me till I die,..Meet you on the other side.

Three days, and maybe longer

Won't even know I've left

Under your tongue...I'm like a tab...

I will give you what...you're not sposed to have...

Under my breath...I swear by sin...

For better or for worse...a best we began...

Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask


Shed my skin at last...shed...shed...

Let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask


Won't ever find me here

Let the ocean dissolve 'way my past

Four days, and not much longer...

Let my spirit pass...

Artist: Pearl Jam

You're always saying that there's something wrong,...

I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...

Death came around, forced to hear its song,...

And know tomorrow can't be depended on.

I seen the home inside your head,...

All locked doors and unmade beds.

Open sores unattended

Let me say just once that

I have faced it,... A life wasted,...

I'm never going back again.

I escaped it,... A life wasted,..


Having tasted,... A life wasted,...

I'm never going back again

The world awaits just up the stairs

Leave the pain for someone else.

Nothing back there for you to find,...

Or was it you, you left behind?

You're always saying you're too weak to be strong,...

You're harder on yourself than just about anyone,...

Why swim the channel just to get this far?

Halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves,... tell me,

why invite it to stay?

You're warm with negativity,

Yes, comfort is an energy,...

But why let the sad song play?

I have faced it,... A life wasted,...


Oh I escaped it,... A life wasted,...


Having tasted,... A life wasted,...


Oh I erased it,... A life wasted,...

Light Years

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard

I've used hammers made out of wood

I have played games with pieces and rules..

I've deciphered tricks at the bar...

But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why...

I've come up with riddles... and jokes about war...

I've figured out numbers and what they're for...

I've understood feelings.. and I've understood words...

But how could you be taken away?...

And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...

It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...

Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...

We were but stones,... your light made us stars

With heavy breath,... awakened regrets...

Back pages and days alone that could have been spent,

Together... but we were... miles apar...t

Every inch between us becomes light years now...

No need to be void,... or save up on life...

You got to spend it all.....

And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...

It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here...

Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar


And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...

It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...

Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...

Love Boat Captain

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/Gaspar

Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?

First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...

Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain

Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.

It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.

All you need is love

Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...

Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...

Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...

That when all is lost there will be you,...

Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing

And there's just one word I stil believe

And it's

It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..

Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today

And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...

The wisdom that the old can't give away

Hey,...

Constant recoil...

Sometimes life

Don't leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...

That when all is lost there will be you.

Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing

And there's just one word that I still believe and it's

Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain

Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.

I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.

Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..

Love,.. love,...

Love.

Low Light

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Ament

Clouds roll by

Reeling is what they say

Or is it just my way?

Wind blows by,

Low light

Sidetracked, low light

Can't see my tracks,

Your scent-way back

Can I be here all alone?

Clear a path to my home

Blood runs dry

Books and jealousy tell me wrong

All I feel, calm

Voice rolls by,

Low light

Car crash, low light

Can't wear my mask,

Your first, my last

Voice goes by

Two birds is what they'll see

Getting lost upon their way

Wind rolls by,

Low light

Eye sight, low light

I need the light

I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?

Your dream I see

Lukin

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Drive down the street, can't find the keys to my own fucking home

I take a walk, so I can curse my ass for being dumb

I make a right after the arches, stinking grease and bone

Stop at the supermarket, people stare like I'm a dog

I'm goin' to Lukin's...

I got a spot at Lukin's...

I knock the door at Lukin's...

Open the fridge, now I know life is worth

I find the key, but I return to find an open door

Some fucking freak who claims I fathered, by rape, her own son

I find my wife, I call the cops, this day's work's never done

The last I heard the freak was purchasing a fucking gun

Man Of The Hour

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness

Crashed, then on their way

Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away

A snowflake falls in May.

And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out

Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow

Goodbye for now.

Nature as its own religion; gospel from the land

Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend

Old men comprehend.

And the sky breaks at dawn shedding light upon this town

They'll all come around

Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow

Goodbye for now.

And the road

The old man paved

The broken seams along the way

The rusted signs, left just for me

He was guiding me, love, his own way

Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow

As the curtain comes down

I feel that this is just goodbye for now

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Gossard

You'll be.... going out with radio

Going out with disco

Going out like bacchanal

I'll be...going out with telephone

Going out alone

To the radar zone

It's all just inadvertent imitation

And I don't mean mine

It's all across this nation

If it's just inadvertent simulation

A pattern in all mankind

What's got the whole world fakin' it

I'll be.... playing with my magazine

Using up my Listerine

Like Ovaltine

And you'll be...dipping in your battleship

For the latest tip

For the latest dream

It's all just inadvertent imitation

And I don't mean mine

It's all across this nation

If it's just inadvertent simulation


What's got the whole world fakin' it?

If it's just inadvertent imitation


What's got the whole world fakin'?




What's got the whole world fakin' it? Yeah...yeah...

Marker In The Sand

Artist: Pearl Jam

There is a marker,... No one sees it cause the sand

Has covered over,... All the messages it kept

Misunderstanding,... What original truth was

And out expanding,... In a faith, but not in love

What went wrong?

Walking tightrope high,... Over moral ground

Seeing visions of,............. Falling up somehow

Do come down

With the living, Let,..... What is living love

So unforgiving, yet,.... Needing forgiveness first

God, what do you say?

Those undecided,........ Needn't have faith to be free

And those misguided, There was a plan for them to be

Now you got both sides Claiming killing in Gods name

But God is nowhere,..... To be found, conveniently

What goes on?


Seeing visions of,............. Before you burn them down

Do come round

With a living, let,...... What is living love

So unforgiving, yet... Needing forgiveness first

God, what do you say? What do you say?

There is a sickness,...... A sickness coming over me

Like watching freedom,. Being sucked straight out to sea

And the solution?,........ Well, from me far would let it be

But the delusion,.......... Is feeling dangerous to me

What goes wrong?


Seeing visions of,............. Falling up somehow

Do come down

With a living, let,...... What is living love

So unforgiving, yet... Needing forgiveness first

God, what do you say? What do you say?

Calling out,......... Calling out.

Calling out,......... I'm calling you out.

Sliding... out of reverse into drive, this

Wheel will be turning right, then straight

Off in the sunset she'll ride

She can... remember a time denied, stood by

Side of the road, spilled like wine, now

She's out on her own and line high

There's no leaving here

Ask, I'm an ear

She's disappeared

They said... timing was everything, made him

Want to be everywhere, there's a

Lot to be said for nowhere


Ask, I'm an ear

We've disappeared


Ask, I'm an ear

Fuck it, we'll disappear

No Way

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Gossard

Here's a token of my openness

Of my need to not disappear

How I'm feeling, so revealing to me

I found my mind too clear

I just need someone to be there for.. me

I just want someone to be there for.. me

All the static in my attic-a

Shoots down my side nerve

To the ocean of my platitudes

Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd

I just need someone to be there for..

I just want someone to be there for..

Someone to be there for..

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference

I'm not trying to make a difference

I'll stop trying to make a difference

No way




No way

Ooh... Let's call in an angel






No way

Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference



No way, no way

Not For You

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Pearl Jam

Restless soul, enjoy your youth

Like Muhammad, hits the truth

Can't escape from the common rule

If you hate something, don't you do it too...too...

Small my table, sits just two

Got so crowded, I can't make room

Oh, where did they come from? Stormed my room!

And you dare say it belongs to you...to you...

This is not for you

This is not for you

This is not for you

Oh, not for you...ah, you...

...Scream...my friends...don't call me...

...Friends, no they don't scream...

...My friends don't call...my friends don't...

All that's sacred, comes from youth

Dedication, naive and true

With no power, and fuckin' nothing to do

I still remember, why don't you...don't you...

This is not for you

This is not for you

This is not for you

Oh, never was for you...fuck you...

This is not for you...

Oh, this is not for you...yeah, you...

This is not for you...

Oh, not for you...

Nothing As it Seems

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Ament

Don't feel like home,.. he's a little out...

And all these words elope,.. it's nothing like your poem...

Putting in,.. inputting in,.. don't feel like methadone...

Scratching voice.. all alone,.. it's nothing like your baritone

It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that he needs,. it's home

The little that he sees,.. is nothing. He concedes,.. it's home

One uninvited chromosome,.. a blanket like the ozone.

It's nothing as it seems, all that he needs,. it's home...

The little that he frees,.. is nothing, he believes...

Saving up a sunny day,.. something maybe two tone...

Anything to call his own,.. a chip off the cornerstone...

Who's kidding, rainy day,...one way ticket headstone...

Occupations overthrown,.. a whisper thru a megaphone...

It's nothing as it seems,... the little that he needs,... it's home

The little that he sees, ..is nothing. He concedes,. it's home...

And all that he frees,... a little bittersweet,.. it's home...

It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that you see,.. it's home...

Nothingman

Artist: Pearl Jam


Once divided...nothing left to subtract...

Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...

Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...

Future's above...but in the past, he's slow and sinking...

Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

Nothingman...

Nothingman...

Isn't it something?

Nothingman...

She once believed...in every story he had to tell...

One day she stiffened...took the other side...

Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...

One just escapes...one's left inside the well...

And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...

Nothingman...

Nothingman...

Isn't it something?

Nothingman...

Oh, she don't want him...

Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...

Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...

Waves roll in my thoughts

Hold tight the ring...

Please stand by the shore...

Fills it up,... with his past,... gets carried away...

Oh half his life,... a hand me down,... wasted away...

Oh he fills it up,... with the love,... of a girl.

Oh he chose a path,... heavy the fall,... quarter to four...

Fills his night,... with the thought,... of a girl

Off He Goes

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Know a man...his face seems pulled and tense...

Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds

So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax...

But he's always moving much too fast...

Said he'll see me on the flipside... of this trip he's taken for a ride

He's been takin'... too much on... off he goes

With his perfectly... unkept clothes... there he goes...

He's yet to come back...but I've seen his picture

Doesn't look the same up on the rack...we go way back...

I wonder bout his insides...

Its like his thoughts are too big for his size

He's been taken... where? I don't know... off he goes

With his perfectly... unkept hope... there he goes...

And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned

Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

For he still smiles... and he's still strong

Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown

And now he's home... and we're laughing...

like we always did... my same old... same old friend

Until a quarter-to-ten... I saw the strain creep in...

He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next

Before his first step... he is off again

Once upon a time I could control myself

Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah...

Oh, try and mimic what's insane...ooh, yeah...

I am in it...where do I stand?

Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat

I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat

I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...

Once upon a time I could control myself

Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah...

You think I got my eyes closed

But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time...

Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah...

Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Other Side

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Ament

It's not the same without you up here

Can't find my wheels

Your absence is what breeds this fear

Warm breath and all it steals

You can't know how it feels to be in here

All the dark horse fields, befriendin' me

Playin' ain't the same without you here

We've come to hate the golden rule

Cannot seem to make the dots connect

The morning light don't show you near

You can't know what it's like to bleed from here

The blackened world grows white, it goes nowhere

Oooh hoo..

Death ain't the same without you, dear

I make the others run and hide

New York streets seem to make it worse

All this noise inside the quiet

I can't hold on, the weight you bear

My body's broken fast, please lift me up

You can't know what it's like to be inside

The fading melodies can't beat my need

I'm not the same without you here

How can I quit to be there

Sit and stare

Stare..

Begging for a prayer

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKParachutes

Artist: Pearl Jam

Why deny

All the troubles when combined

With the missing links

It don't feel like

Home now,...

That you're gone

All the troubles

suddenly explained infinitum

You're always wishing and

Never here at

Home

You

All the dreams we shared and

Lights we turned on

But the house is getting dark

And I don't want to know your past

But together share the dawn

And I won't need

Nothing else

Cause when we're dead

We would've had it all

And died

I would've fallen from the sky

Til you

Parachutes have opened now

Heaven knows if there's a ceiling

come so low with the kneeling

Please know that

I got

All the friends I'm needing

Before my light goes out

As the doors are closing now

And far away will be my home

And to grasp this, I don't know

And I don't need

Further back and forth, a wave will break on me today

And love,... Wish the world could go again with love

One cant seem to have enough

And war,.... Break the sky and tell me what it's for

I'll travel there on my own

And love,.... What a different life

Had I not found this love with you

Parting Ways

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Behind her eyes there's curtains...

And they've been closed to hide the flames,... remains...

She knows... their future's burning,

But she can smile just the same, same...

And though her mood is fine today

There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

Standing, like a statue

A chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey...

And though he's too big a man to say

There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

Drifiting away,... Drifting away,... Drifting away...

Drifiting away,... Drifting away,... Drifting away...

Pilate

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Ament

Talk of circles and punching out

Looking in, drawing circles down

Falling up the south marking ground

Talking out of turn, drawing circles down

Like Pilate, I have a dog


Walks me out of town

Still, one's a crowd

Making angels in the dirt

Looking up, looking all around


(Obeys, listens, kisses, loves)



Stunned by my own reflection

It's looking back, sees me too clearly

And I swore I'd never go there again

Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down

You down...you down...you down

What the fuck is this world

Running to? You didn't

Leave a message

At least I could have

Learned your voice one last time.

Daily minefield

This could be my time

How 'bout you?

Would you hit me?

Would you hit me?

All the bills go by

And initiatives are taken up

By the middle

There ain't gonna be any middle any more

And the cross I'm bearing home

Ain't indicative of my place

Left the porch

Left the porch

Hear my name

Take a good look

This could be the day

Hold my hand

Walk beside me

I just need to say...

Hear my name

Take a good look

This could be the day

Hold my hand

Lie beside me

I just need to say

What can I take?

I just want to be

I know that i would not ever touch you

Hold you

Feel you

Ever hold

Present Tense

Artist: Pearl Jam


Do you see the way that tree bends?

Does it inspire?

Leaning out to catch the sun's rays

A lesson to be applied

Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh

Or you can come to terms and realize

You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh

Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

Have you ideas on how this life ends?

Checked your hands and studied the lines

Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?

Seems that needlessly it's getting harder

To find an approach and a way to live

Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh

Or you can come to terms and realize

You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh

Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

I had a false belief

I thought I came here to stay

We're all just visiting

All just breaking like waves

The oceans made me, but who came up with love?

Push me, pull me... push me, or pull me out

Push me, pull me, or pull me out

Push me, pull me

So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?

You better stop me before I begin

But let me say...if I behave...can you arrange

a spacious hole in the ground

Somewhere nice, make it nice

Where the land meets high tide


Push me, pull me


Like a cloud dropping rain

I'm discarding all thought

I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground

I'm like an opening band for the sun

Push me, pull me

Push me, pull me...pull me out

I've had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine, still in it

Congregate until they're much too loud

Fuck to procreate till they are dead

Drink the blood of their so called best friend

They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way

Don't pack themselves together and run as one

Don't shit where they're not supposed to

Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare

They don't scam, don't fight

Don't oppress an equals given rights

Starve the poor so they can be well fed

Line their holes with the dead ones bread




Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...

Time to emancipate

I guess it was the beatings... made me wise

But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize

I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down

Hand on my face, pushed to the ground

Enmity gauged, united by fear

Forced to endure what I could not forgive...

I seem to look away

Wounds in the mirror waved

It wasn't my surface... most defiled

Head at your feet, fool to your crown

Fist on my plate, swallowed it down

Enmity gauged, united by fear

Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things

Saw things

Saw things

Saw things

Clearer

Clearer

Once you, were in my...

I gather speed from you fucking with me

Once and for all I'm far away

I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...

Saw things so much clearer

Watched from the window, with a red mosquito

I was not allowed to leave the room

I saw the sun go down, and now it's coming up

Somewhere in the time between

I was bitten, must have been the devil

He was just paying me...

A little visit, reminding me of his presence

Letting me know, he's a-waiting... oh

Red man's your neighbor, call it behavior

While you're climbing up slippery hills

Two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck

Hovering just above your bed

Hovering just above your bed

I was bitten, must have been the devil

He was just paying me...

A little visit, reminding me of his presence

And letting me know, he's a'waiting, he's a'waiting...

Ooh....

If I had known then what I know now...

Sad

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

All the photographs were peeling

And colors turned to gray

He stayed... in his room with memories for days

He faced... an undertow of futures laid to waste

Embraced... by the loss of what he could not replace

There is no reason that she passed

And there is no god with a plan

It's sad... and his loneliness is proof

It's sad... he could only love you

It's sad

The door swings to a passing fable

A fate we may delay

We say... holding on...delivered in our own brace

He let em as he laid in bed

hoping that dreams would bring her back

It's sad... and his loneliness is proof

It's sad... he could only love you

It's sad

Holding his last breath

Believing... he'll make his way

But she's not forgotten

He's haunted...he's searching for escape

If just one wish could bring her back

It's sad... and his lonliness is proof

It's sad... he will always love you

It's sad

Artist: Pearl Jam


It's not all been said...been said and done...

I've never slept in Satan's bed

Although I must admit...still visits my place

Uninvited, as you know, he don't wait

Funny how he always seems to fit in

Funny how I always want to give in

Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same

Sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave

Already...in love...



Already...

Who made, who made up, made up the myth

That we were born to be covered in bliss?

Who set the standard, born to be rich?

Such fine examples, skinny little bitch

Model, role model, roll some models in blood

Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us

I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club

I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love




Already...

In love...ah ha ha ha...

(Ah torture...follows reward...

Follows torture...follows reward...

Oh, oh my butt...)

Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself

You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off

I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both

Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off

I'll never suck Satan's dick...

Again, you'd see it, you know, right round the lips

I'll wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath

'magine they're busy, think I'm doing okay...

Gonna save you fucker,....not gonna lose you

Feeling cocky and strong,.. can't let you go,...

Baby, let yourself fall,... I'm right below you now

And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear

Fuck me if I care,... but I'm not leaving here

You helped me when I was down,... I'll help when you're down

Why are you hitting yourself?... c'mon hit me instead

Let's pick up your will,... it's grown fat and lazy

I'm sympathetic as well,... don't go on me now

And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear

And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without

My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all

Cause there is but you,... and something within you

It's taken control,.. let's beat it, get up let's go!

Oh you're in your own world, let's see the whole world

Let's pick up your soul

And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear

And fuck me if you only hear the treble in your head

Help me help yourself,... please want me to,... please let me to

So look out below, I am falling now

Oh please understand, I just need my friend

A way home.

Tried to walk, found a severed hand

Recognized it by the wedding band

\\"It's okay, do you want some more?\\"

I said, \\"Yeh,...\\"

\\"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4...:

I said, \\"Yeh,...\\"

\\"Understand, I'm not falling down\\"

I said, \\"Look around, the room's taller now,..\\"

I can't close my eyes, cause i see the sound

In waves

In waves, lets me stay calm

If I don't lose control

Explore and not explode

A preternatural other plane

With the power to maintain.

Like a tear in all we know

Once dissolved, we are free to grow

\\"What is human?,... What is more?\\"

I'll answer this

When I get home.

PEARL JAM SONGBOOK


Sleight Of Hand

Artist: Pearl Jam


Routine was the theme,... he'd wake up,..wash and pour himself

Into uniform,... something he hadn't imagined being...

As the merging traffic passed,... he found himself staring,..

Down,... at his own... hands..

Not remembering the change,... not recalling the plan,

Was it...?

He was okay,... but wondering... about wandering

Was it age?... By consequence?... or was he moved by

Sleight of hand?

Mondays were made to fall,... lost on a road he knew by heart

It was like a book he read in his sleep,... endlessly...

Sometimes he hid in his radio,... watching others pull into their homes

While he was drifting...

On a line,... of his own,... off the line,... on the side

Bye the by,.... as dirt turned to sand,

As if moved by sleight of hand...

When he reached the shore of his... clip-on world...

He resurfaced to the norm

Organized his few things,... his coat and keys...

Any new realizations... would have to wait...

Til he had more time,... more time...

Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye,

To himself... I'll see you on the other side...

Another man...moved by sleight of hand...

Smile

Artist: Pearl Jam


Don't it make you smile?


When the sun don't shine? (Shine at all)



Don't it make me smile?

When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all

Don't it make me smile?

I miss you already... I miss you always

I miss you already... I miss you all day

This is how I feel...

I miss you already... I miss you always

Three crooked hearts and swirls all around... I miss you all day

Sometimes

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Large fingers pushing paint

You're god and you've got big hands

The colors blend... the challenges you give man

Seek my part... devote myself

My small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

Sometimes I know, sometimes I rise

Sometimes I fall, sometimes I don't

Sometimes I cringe, sometimes I live

Sometimes I walk, sometimes I kneel

Sometimes I speak of nothing at all

Sometimes I reach to myself, dear god

No Code

Soon Forget

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette

Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic

What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget

That's one more time around,... the sun is going down

The moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting,

Putting people down...he's pissing,.. he's living...

A day he'll soon forget

Counts his money every morning

The only thing that keeps him horny

Locked in a giant house, that's alarming

The townsfolk,... they all laugh

Sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent

Seems the more you make, equals the loneliness you get

and it's fitting,... he's barely living,... a day he'll soon forget

That's one more time around,... there is not a sound

He's lying dead clutching Benjamins,... never put the money down

He's stiffening,... we're all whistling...

A man we'll soon forget

Speed of SoundArtist: Pearl JamComposer: Pearl JamYesterdays, how quick they changeAll lost and long gone now

It's hard to remember any thingMoving at the speed of soundMoving with the speed of sound

And yet I’m still holding tightTo this dream of distant lightAnd that somehow I’ll survive

But this night has been a long oneWaiting on a sun,.. that just don’t come

Can I forgive what ICannot forgetAnd live a lieI could give it one more try

Why deny this drive inside?Just looking for some peace

Everytime I get me someIt gets the best of meNot much left you see

And yet I’m still holding tightto this dream of distant lightand that somehow I’ll survive

But this night has been a long oneWiating on a word,.. that never comes

A whisper in the darkIs that you or just my thoughts?Wide awake & reaching out

It’s gone so quiet nowCould it be I’m farther out?Moving faster than the speed of sound

State Of Love And Trust

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder/McCready/Ament

State of love and trust

as I busted down the pretext

sin still plays and preaches

but to have an empty court, uh huh

and the signs are passin, grip the wheel

can't read it

sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands...hands yeah

and I listen for the voice inside my head

nothin', I'll do this one myself

lay her down as priest does

should the lord be acountin'

will be in my honour, make it pain

painfully quick, uh huh

promises are whispered

in the age of darkness

want to be enlightened

like I want to be told the end...end, yeah

and the barrel shakes

aimed directly at my head

oh, help me, help me from myself

and I listen yeah, from both

sides of the bed


oh oh oh myself....Myself

yeah, yeah

hey, na-na-na-na, hey that's something



wanna back, back it away , yeah

and I listen, yeah,

for the voice inside my head


oh, ah, and the barrel waits,

trigger shakes

aimed right at my head

won't you help me

help me from myself

The winded eves and sideways snow.

His eminence has yet to show.

Follow the ageless tide.

Follow the angled light.

Follow the strangest tribe.

It's 6:00 AM. You're waiting for...

You've had your feast. You're wanting more.

Follow the wayward mile.

Follow the distant high.

Follow the angel's try.

Supersonic

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Pearl Jam

Yeah I been dreaming of getting along

Now I’m awake, dreaming keep it on keeping on

I catch a break, then a punch to the head

I smile big with a toothless grin.

Supersonic gone & took my soul

I caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh

Supersonic, truth be told

I don’t need you to live, but I’ll never let you go

Yeah I been thinking, I already know

Nothing bout nothing, or so I have been told

I’m not the paper, I’m more like the fold

Cut the crease & put the shit in the whole

Supersonic, gone & took my soul

I caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh


I don’t need you to live, but I’ll never let you go

Supersonic, gotta feel it now

I need to hear it, need to feel it loud yeh


I wanna live my life with the volume full




Sweet Lew

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Ament

Power high, power low

You could take 'em all to school

You could fly, wilt the stilt had nothing on you

Lambchops and afro-do, Milwaukee Bucks and a barbecue

33 just like you

Sweet Lew, how could you?

Sweet Lew, makin' me blue

A laker trade their bobby-d for a house, a guru by the sea

A little help from 32, showtime, and worthy

Those were the days, pre-investment spree

Sweet Lew, is it true?


I grew up trying to copy you, Bruce Lee, and a kung-fu

Act a jazzman, yogi too

Little did I know, a loose screw

But you had your own shoe

Build him high, build him tall, a haiku with a basketball

Tear 'em down, one and all

7 foot 2 is a long way to fall

Sweet Lew, how's the view?

The EndArtist: Pearl JamWhat were all those dreams we sharedThose many years ago?What were all those plans we madeNow left beside the road?Behind us in the road

More than friends I always pledgedCause friends they come and goPeople change as does everythingI wanted to grow oldJust want to grow old

Slide on next to meI’m just a human beingI will take the blameBust just the sameThis is not meYou seeBelieveI’m better than this

Don’t leave me so coldOr buried beneath the stonesI just want to hold onAnd know I’m worth your loveEnoughI don’t thinkThere’s such a thing

It’s my fault, Now I been caughtA sickness in my bonesHow it pains to leave you hereWith the kids on your ownJust don’t let me go

Help me see myselfCause I can no longer tellLooking out from the inside ofThe bottom of a wellI yellIt’s hellBut no one hears

Before I disappearWhisper in my earGive me something to echoIn my unknown futures ear

My dearThe EndComes nearI’m hereBut not much longer



The FixerArtist: Pearl JamComposer: Pearl JamWhen somethings darkLemme shed a little light on it

When somethings coldLemme put a little fire on it

If somethings oldI wanna put a little shine on it

When somethings goneI wanna fight to get it back again.

When somethings brokeI wanna put a little fixing on it

If somethings boredI wanna put a little exciting on it

When somethings lowI wanna put a little high on it

When somethings lostI wanna fight to get it back again

When signals crossI wanna put a little straight on it

If there’s no loveI’m gonna try to love again

I’ll say your prayersI’ll take your sideI’ll find us a way to make light

I’ll dig your graveWe’ll dance & sing.Who knows, could be our last lifetime!



PEARL JAM SONGBOOK (lyrics from www.pearljam.com)Thin Air

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Gossard

There's a light,... when my baby's in my arms...

There's a light,... when the window shades are drawn

Hesitate .. when I feel I may do harm to her...

Wash it off,... cuz this feeling we can share...

And I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air

Byzantine... is reflected in our pond...

There's a cloud,... but the water remains calm...

Reaching in,... the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass...

Even out,... it's a precious thing to bear...


Yes I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air

It's not in my past to presume...

Love can keep on moving,... in both directions...

How to be happy and true...

Is the quest we're taking on together...

Taking on,.. on, on, on, on...

Taking on,... on, on, on, on...

There's a light,... when my baby's in my arms...



Yes I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air

Yes I know she's reached my heart.

Thumbing My Way

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

I have not been home since you left long ago

I'm thumbing my way back to heaven

Counting steps,.. walking backwards on the road

I'm counting my way back to heaven

I can't be free with what's locked inside of me...

If there was a key, you took it in your hands.

There's no wrong or right,... but I'm sure there's good and bad

The questions linger overhead

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead


I wish that I could hold you... wish that I had

Thinking 'bout heaven

I let go of a rope,... thinking that's what held me back

And in time I've realized,... it's now wrapped around my neck

I can't see what's next,... from this lonely overpass

Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past

All the rusted sign we ignore throughout our lives

Choosing the shiny ones instead

I turned my back,... now there's no turning back

No matter how cold the winter,.. there's a springtime ahead

I smile, but who am I kidding?

I'm just walking the miles,.. every once in a while I'll get a ride


Thumbing my way back to heaven

I'm thumbing my way back to heaven...

Tremor Christ

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Pearl Jam

Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...

Wounded is the organ, he left all...bloodied on the shore...

Gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...

Daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...

Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...

The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

Ransom paid the devil...he whispers pleasing words...

Triumphant are the angels if they can... get there first...

Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...

The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

I'll decide...take the dive...

Take my time...not my life...

Wait for signs...believe in lies...

To get by...it's divine...whoa...

Oh, you know what it's like...

Turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line...

Puts his faith in love and tremor christ...

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKUndone

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Vedder

Last stop on the west coast line

South of the northern border

One small corner on my mind

Everybody, they know me there

Don't get any second glances

Chances are that they don't care

The world has come undone

Like to change it everyday

Change don't come at once

It's a wave... building before it breaks

Can't wait for election day

Witness the occupation

Corporations rule the day

Well you know the pendulum throws

Farther out to the one side, swinging

Has to sweep back the other way


Another day and who can wait

Change don't come at once

It's a wave building before it breaks

All this hope and nowhere to go

This is how I used to feel, but no more


Like a game that few can play

Change don't come from one

It's a wave... building before it breaks

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKUnemployable

Artist: Pearl Jam

He's got a big gold ring what says \\"Jesus Saves\\"

And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day

When he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things

After the big boss said, \\"You best be on your way\\"

Oh yeh

So this life is sacrifice

Oh yeh

Jumping trains just to survive

Well, his wife and kid are sleeping but he's still awake

On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid

Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate

Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?

Yeh


Oh yeh

To a stranger's bottom line

Yeh

I seen the light,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

I's scared alive,...

Near to death,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

I seen the light,...

Scared alive.

Yeh


Oh yeh

They can't say I never tried

Yeh

I seen the light,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

I's scared alive,...

Near to death,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

Scared alive,.... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

Near to death.

Hear to die.

Scared alive.


Near to death.

Here to die.

Scared alive.

Feel the path of every day,... Which road you taking?,...Breathing hard,... & Making hay,... Yeh this is living,...

Look for love & evidence,... That you’re worth keeping,...Swallowed whole in negatives,... It's so sad & sickening,...

Feel the air up above,... A pool of blue sky,...Fill the air up with love,... Black w/starlight,...

Feel the sky blanket you,... w/gems & rhinestones,...See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,...For you to walk on,...

Nothing left,... Nothing left,...Nothing there,... Nothing left,...

See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,...See the waves on distant shores,... Awaiting your arrival,...

Dream the dreams of other men,... You’ll be no ones rival,...Dream the dreams of others then,... You will be no ones rival,...You will be no ones rival,...

A distant time,... A distant space,... That’s where we’re living —..A distant time,... A distant place,... So what you giving?,...What you giving?

Oh it was the time. Like a clean new taste.

Smiling eyes before me and tears from my face.

Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.

Sin for sale. Buying just a need. O who planted all the devils seeds?

And what's the truth? And the truth that lies at home.

It's on the inside and I can't get it off. Yeah.

Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.

What's clean is pure. But hey, I'm white on the outside. Though I stray.

What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow. Bring it back someway.

Bring it back, back, back... to the clean form. To the pure form.

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKWhale Song

Artist: Pearl Jam

Composer: Irons

The sun was in clouds. The sun looked out. Exposed a trail of mist and spouts.

Ships followed the ancient lead. Deceiving friends under the sea.

Wow, imagine that? They won't fight back. I got a theory on that.

A whale's heart is as big as a car. A whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark.

They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or are too proud.

They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or too proud.

They swim. It's really free. It's a beautiful thing to see. They sing.

Hunters of land. Hunters of sea. Exploit anything for money.

I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free.

They won't fight back.

It's only a thought that makes it seem right. What you don't see is because of your sight.

Take what you want. Kill what you can. That's just one way of the mind of man.

Take their lives. Sell their parts but there is not taking of their hearts.

If I was lost at sea. That harpoon boat in front of me. It's the whale I'd like to be.

They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back.

They won't fight back. They won't fight back.

They don't know how.

They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back.

Come to send, not condescend

Transcendental consequence

Is to transcend where we are

Who are we? Who we are

Trampled moss on your souls

Changes all you're a part

Seen it all, not at all

Can't defend fucked up man

Take me a for a ride before we leave...

Circumstance, clapping hands

Driving winds, happenstance

Off the track, in the mud

That's the moss in the aforementioned verse

Just a little time, before we leave...

Stop light, plays its part

Why Go

She scratches a letter

Into a wall, made of stone

Maybe someday

Another child

Won't feel as alone as she does

It's been two years

And counting

Since they put her in this place

She's been diagnosed

By some stupid fuck

And mommy agrees

Why go home?

Why go home?

Why go home...

She seems to be stronger

But what they want her to be is weak

She could just pretend

She could join the game, boy

She could be another clone

Why go home?

Why go home?

Why go home?

Why go home?

What you taught me

Put me here

Don't come visit

World Wide Suicide

Artist: Pearl Jam

I felt the earth on Monday. It moved beneath my feet

in the form of a morning paper. Laid out for me to see.

Saw his face in a corner picture. I recognized the name.

Could not stop staring at the. Face I'd never see again.

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain

What does it mean when a war has taken over

It's the same everyday in a hell manmade

What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?

The whole world,... world over.

It's a worldwide suicide.



Medals on a wooden mantle. Next to a handsome face.

That the president took for granted.

Writing checks that others pay.

And in all the madness. Thought becomes numb and naive.

So much to talk about there's. Nothing for to say.

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break

Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder

Laying claim to the take our soldiers save

Does not equate, and the truth's already out there





Looking in the eyes of the fallen

You got to know there's another, another, another, another

Another way

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain

What does it mean when a war has taken over

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break

Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder

You Are

Artist: Pearl Jam


This broken wheel is coming undone

And the roads exploding

But you're keeping me strong

Rolling along with you,...

Love is a tower

And you're the key

Leading me higher

When you let me in

Keeping us close,... so close

On down the line

Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun

With no one knowing

But you're keeping me strong

Rolling along with you

You are a tower of

Strength to me

The darkening hour

Sees light again

Ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah

Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are... you are

Love is a tower

Of strength to me

I am the shoreline

But you're the sea

You are.
