Pearl Jam

Once


I admit...what's to say?

I'll relive it...without pain

Backstreet lover on the side of the road

Got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode

Got a .16 gauge buried under my clothes...I play.

Once upon a time...I could control myself

Once upon a time...I could lose myself



Try and mimic...whats insane

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

Indian summer I hate the heat

Got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat

Got a hand in my pocket

so determined

Discreet...I pray



Once upon a time...I could control myself

Once upon a time...I could lose myself

Once upon a time...I could love myself

Once upon a time...I could love myself

Alive


Son, she said

Have I got a little story for you

What you thought was your daddy

Was nothin' but a...

While you were sittin'

Home alone at age thirteen

Your real daddy was dyin'...

Sorry you didn't see him

But I'm glad we talked...

Oh I, oh I'm still alive

Hey I, oh I'm still alive

Hey I, oh I'm still alive

Hey...oh...



Oh she walks slowly

Across a young man's room

She said I'm ready...for you

I can't remember anything

To this very day

'Cept the look,...The look...

Now I can see,... I just stare



I, I'm still alive

Hey I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey I, oh, I'm still alive

Hey I, I ,I, I'm still alive, yeah

Oh...oh...yeah



Is something wrong she said

Of course there is



You're still alive she said

Do I deserve to be?

Is that the question?

And if so,...If so

Who answers?

Who answers?


Pearl Jam - Ten - 1991

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 play pretend

She could join the game

She could be another clone



Why go home?

Why go home?

Why go home?

Why go home?



What they taught me

Put me here

Don't come visit

Mother...

Black


Time: 6:56

Vedder, Gossard

Yeah... Oh yeah.

Sheets of empty canvas. Untouched sheets of clay. Yeah.

Laid spread out before me as her body once did. Yeah.

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. That's all.

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore. Yeah.



And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds of what was everything.

All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything.



I take a walk outside. I'm surrounded by some kids at play.

Oh, I can feel their laughter. Oh, so why do I sear?

Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head. Yeah.

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'll be. Yeah.



Uh huh... Uh huh... Ooh.

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.

I hope you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?

Oh... ohh yea oh

Do do do do do do do (x20 total)


Pearl Jam - Ten - 1991

Jeremy


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

Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care

King Jeremy the wicked

Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today



Clearly I remember, picking 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 suprise left

My jaw left hurtin', oh, dropped wide open

Just like the day

Like the day I heard...



Daddy didn't give affection, no

And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear

King Jeremy the wicked

Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today

Woo (14x)



Try to forget this...try to forget this

Try to erase this...try to erase this

From the blackboard



Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in, spoke in

Jeremy spoke in, spoke in

Jeremy spoke in class today

Woo (29x) Wooohhhh...Jeremy spoke in, spoke in...

Wooohhhh...uh huh...uh huh...



Pearl Jam - Ten - 1991

Oceans



Hold on to the thread

The currents will shift

Guide me towards you

Know something's left

And we're all allowed

To dream of the next

Oh, ooh, the next, time we touch...

You don't have to stray the oceans away

Waves roll in the thoughts

Hold tight the ring

The sea will rise

Please stand by the shore

oh, oh, oh, I will be, I will be

There once more...



Ooohhh...

Ooohhh...

Ooohhh...

Ooohhh...

Uh huh, oh yeah

Uh huh, oh yeah


Pearl Jam - Ten - 1991

Porch



What the fuck is this world running to?

You didn't, leave a message

At least I could learned your voice one last time

Daily minefield, this could

Be my time 'bout you

Would you hit me?

Would you hit me?

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, oh...

All the bills go by and

Intiatives are taken up

By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle anymore

And the cross I'm bearin' home

Ain't indicative of my place

Left the Porch

Left the Porch

Oh, oh, oh...

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, lay beside me

I just need to say

I could not take a just one day

I know when I would never touch you

Hold you...feel you...in my arms...never again

Yeah (12x)


Pearl Jam - Ten - 1991

Garden


She don't wander in...don't wander in here...she...

She don't wander in...don't wander in here...

The direction of the eye, so misleading

The defection of the soul, nauseouly quick

I don't question our existence

I just question our modern needs



She don't wander in...don't wander in here...she

She don't wander in here...



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...yeah...



After all is done, and we're still alone

I won't be taken

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

I will walk with my face blood

I will walk with my shadow flag

Into your garden, garden of stone



I don't show...I don't share...

I don't need...what you have to give



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...



I will walk with my hands bound

I will walk into your gared, garden of stone



I don't know...I don't care

I don't need, yeah...need to live...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh...

Uh huh, huh, huh (8x)

On the edge a windowsill

Ponders his maker

Ponders his will

To the street below

He just ain't nothin'

But he's got a great view...

And he sinks the needle deep, yeah

Oh, can't touch the bottom

In too deep

Can't touch the bottom



On the edge

Feelin' quite superior

The aged come to the sky above

He just ain't nothin'

But he's got a great view...

And he sinks the needle deep



Oh, can't touch the bottom

In too deep

Can't touch the bottom

In too deep



On the edge of a christmas clean love

Young virgin from Heaven visiting...

To the man above her

She just ain't nothin'

She doesn't like the view

She doesn't like the view

Doesn't like the view...

But he sinks himself deep



Oh, can't touch the bottom

In too deep

Ooh, ooh, ohh

I see the world, feel the chill

Which way to go, windowsill

I see the world's on a rocking horse of time

I see the birds in the rain

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now?

I am myself, like you somehow

I'll hold the pain...release me...

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...



Oh, dear dad, can you see me now?

Suppose I abused you. Just passing it on.

Once fastened, servile, now your getting sharp.

Moving oh so swiftly with such disarm.

Alone, listless. Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room.

Young girl, violence. Center of her own attention, no, no.

Mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it.

Tries to make her proud. Yeah.

The shades go down into 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.

I see a girl of the night with a baby in her hand.

Under an old street light. Oh, next to a garbage can.

Now she's put her kid away. She's going to get a hit.

She hates her life and what she's done with it.

That's one more kid that will never go to school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

That's one more kid that will never go to school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Oh...

DISSIDENT


She nursed him there, ooh, 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 plan

Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here



And to this day, she's guarded 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

Escape is never, the safest plan

Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...oh...oh...



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

A dissident is here

Escape is never, the safest plan

Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...

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

Escape is never the safest place, oh...

Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' circus

Drains and spills, soaks the pages, fills their sponges

It's my blood (2x)

Painted big...Turn into...One of his enemies...

Rearviewmirror



I took a drive today

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 gaged, 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 defied

Head at your feet, fool to your crown

Fist on my plate, swallowed it down

Enmity gaged, united by fear

Tried to endure what I could not forgive



Saw things (4x)

Clearer (2x)

Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...



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

Once you, once you... (3x)

Rearview mirror



Saw things so much clearer

Once you...oh yeah...

RATS


They don't eat, don't sleep

They don't feed, they don't seethe

Bare their gums when they moan and squeak

Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet

They don't push, don't crowd

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



They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way

Don't pack themselves together and run as one(2x)

Don't shit where they're not supposed to

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



Rats...They don't compare (2x)

Then, the two of us need look no more (5X)

Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town


Time: 3:49

Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

This one's called... longest title in the Pearl Jam catalog. "Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town." 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3,



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. (x2)



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 odd when your 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.

Oh my god its been too long. Never dreamed you'd return.

But now here you are and here I am.

Oh, hearts and thoughts they fade away.



Hearts and thoughts they fade. Fade away. (x2)

Hearts and thoughts they fade away.

Hearts and thoughts they fade.

Fade away... (x3)


Pretty good singing there.

I am right by your side, yeah...

Young lover I stand

It was their idea, I proved to be a man

We will find a way, we will find our place

INDIFFERENCE



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

Watch as she lies silent, for soon night 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, yeah...

I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm

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

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

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

How much difference does it make

Mmm, 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 (2x)

How much difference does it make (2x)
