who sing just like him
feel free to do so now
'cause he's dead
using, using, using
the using takes toll
isolation
just so happy to be one
sad to, sad to think
sad to think of him more
lonesome friend, we all knew
always hoped you'd pull through
no blame, no blame
no blame, it could be you
using, you can't grow old using
so sing just like him, fuckers
it won't offend him
just me
because he's dead
"GO" single
vVedder, Gossard, Ament, McCready, Abbruzesev
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't ..
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower
She's standing naked and apologizing
Reaches for her 'till his mind becomes blood hot
Woken up to be burned, burned, again ..
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
I wanna breathe and i said
I can't take it any other way
On the streets he's walkin', wounded
Doesn't smile for the child at play
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Does he fly away or just talk about it
Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
All experiences lead to a young girl
Alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Try to breathe, but you can't
You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah ..
.. myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, myself
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, myself ..
.. myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself
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, he can't, he can't ..
"1993" X-mas single
vVedder, Abbruzzesev
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh i'm not dyin'
Oh i'm so tortured cuz I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh i'm not dyin'
Oh i'm not alone
Mind is not a celestial state with idle hymns of praise
Time is short, I have an appointment at noon, at noon in hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air, i glide alone at night
Oh please please think of me cuz I'm, I'm by your side
I'm by your side .. I'm by your side oh
I'm...i'm right in front of you .. I'm by your side

vAment, Vedderv
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 ..
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
The anxious is the present,
Unwrap your gifts, take your time
Everything you imagined, needn't be stuck in your mind
Bee girl, be a girl
Bee girl, be a girl
Thank you

vVedderv
Perpetually unnerving
Vehicle swerving
The adjectives they are all a blurring
Freud walking the sidelines
Clipboard scoring the brain
Black magic painted traits
Makes me sane
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman
Please don't make me explain
Don't matter anyway
Phantom pain in my brain
It's all that's left of my leg
Black and red and yellow and black and red and yellow
Heard you repeat a what ya heard
Me knowing the truth i cannot concur na-na
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman
Please don't make me explain
Doesn't matter anyway
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman yeah
Please don't make me explain
Yo bro tell us what's happenin' um I'm on the west
West side of, on the west coast
Give me a jingle uh when you get in
From where the fuck you're at
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman
Please don't make me explain
Doesn't fucking matter anyway
Hormones firing like a fifty foot roman
Please don't make me explain

vVedderv
My eyes so far away
I don't need no sympathy
The word, the word gets overplayed
I'm alright, it's just tonight
I can play the part
I'm alright, it's alright
It's just a broken heart
Don't have eyes for the world outside
They're closed and turned within'
Trying to find the light inside
It's lit, but growing dim ..
I'm alright, it's just tonight
I can play the part
I'm alright, it's alright
It's just, just, just, just ..
Just a broken heart ..

I wanna leave this mind and shout
I've lived all this life like an ocean in disguise
I don't live forever, you can't keep me here
I wanna race with the sun down
I want a last breath that i won't let out
Forget ever being, the bad feelings, it's just me
I won't wait for answers, you can't keep me here
I wanna rise, as in goodnight
I wanna take a look on the other side
I've lived all these lives
It's been wonderful at night
I can't live forever, you can't keep me here
"OFF HE GOES" single
vVedderv
Is magnified by the things I've done
The thing that I've become
Every lift of my hand, coffee cup up 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, a cross 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

Oh rise .. you can't be neutral

Aah .. don't even think about gettin' inside
Voices in me head .. ooh, voices

One for each day, since I fell apart

Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you .. oh ..
Pictures on my chest, it was you, it was you ..
Hey .. I did, what i had to do .. oh, and if there was a reason
Oh, there wasn't no reason, no

Light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames
I'll tell a story, no one would listen that long
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine ..
Wait a little, cup and curse these arms
After having seen all that they saw,
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine ..
I tried to explain, some how ..
I tried to explain, I hope this works somehow ..
Things were different then, all is different now ..
I tried to explain, oh, somehow ..

Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by,
I only own my mind
There's east and there's west and there everywhere life
I know that I was born and I know that I’ll die
The in between is mine. I am mine
Oh the innocence broken with time ..
We're different behind the eyes, there’s no need to hide
We're safe tonight
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied
I only know my mind. I am mine
Oh the innocence broken with time
We're different between the lines, there’s no need to hide ..
Cause we're safe tonight
Oh the innocence broken with time
We're different behind the eyes, there’s no need to hide
Oh the innocence broken with lies
We're different behind the eyes
We're safe tonight
Lost Dogs
vVedderv
she wanted to see other people
i thought, "well then, look around, they're everywhere"
said that she was confused ..
i thought, "darling, join the club"
24 years old, mid-life crisis
nowadays hits you when you're young
i hung up, she called back, i hung up again
the process had already started
at least it happened quick
i swear, i died inside that night
my friend, he called
i didn't mention a thing
the last thing he said was, "be sound"
sound ..
i contemplated an awful thing, i hate to admit
i just thought those would be such appropriate last words
but i'm still here
and small
so small .. how could this struggle seem so big?
so big ..
while the palms in the breeze still blow green
and the waves in the sea still absolute blue
but the horror
every single thing i see is a reminder of her
never thought i'd curse the day i met her
and since she's gone and wouldn't hear
who would care? what good would that do?
but i'm still here
so i imagine in a month .. or 12
i'll be somewhere having a drink
laughing at a stupid joke
or just another stupid thing
and i can see myself stopping short
drifting out of the present
sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep
and there i am, standing
wet grass and white headstones all in rows
and in the distance there's one, off on its own
so i stop, kneel
my new home ..
and i picture a sober awakening, a re-entry into this little bar scene
sip my drink til the ice hits my lip
order another round
and that's it for now
sorry
never been too good at happy endings ..

There are two of us
There are three of us,
The moon is four
There is something else,
There is nothing else
There is everywhere and I've been there before
There is eighteen feet on a sun street
Outside, I'm glad I'm not awake
And then something arise, and then someone tries
And a difference between you and me
There's a difference between you and me
And those democrats
And there's nothing else inside my eye
I don't see the difference anymore
They're just two men wearing the same hat
And the sky is wide,
And the sides are wide
And my life is wide and my head is wide
And my eyes are wide,
And my hands are wide
And my life is so uptight ..
There's those in back
There's those on the right hand side
There's those on my left,
Those are your left
And it doesn't matter here tonite
Cuz it's somewhere near and I don't know where
And i'm sick of feel like this
It's a big, big world,
But I'm glad I'm here
And I'm glad I'm not someone else
And I'm glad I'm not someone else ..

Been a month since I've heard myself talk
All the advantage this life's got on me
Picture a cup in the middle of the sea
And I fight back in my mind
Never lets me be right
I got memories I got shit
So much it don't show
Oh I walked the line when you held me in that night
I walked the line when you held my hand that night
An empty shells seem so easy to crack
Got all these questions don't know who I could even ask
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
Where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me
And I stayed in bed
Oh in a little while I'll see you
If just once i could feel love
Oh stare back at me, yeah ..
But I walked the line when you held me in that night
Oh I walked the line when you held my hand that night
Oh I walked the line when you held me close that night
I paid the price never held you in real life
My lips are shakin'

On the altar, my picture ..
Will be there while I'm gone
There'll be time for laughin'
There's no time to cry
Soon I will be leavin'
Look me in the eye
No matter what's in front of me
It's your face that I'll see
And the future of our young one
And this is what fuels me
There's no time for laughin'
There's no time to cry
Soon I will be leavin'
Look me in the eye
The oath I took not so seriously
The world's gathered steam and caught up with me
And my decision's been made, some other place
By someone I don't know and they don't know me
This is no time for laughin'
There's no time to cry
Soon I will be leavin'
Look me in the eye

He's leatherman
Died a long time ago in the 1880's
Leatherman
Leatherman
Covered with leather but it wasn't tight
Underneath a moon in the woods at night
Making the rounds ten miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say
Here he comes he's a man of the land
He's Leatherman
Smile on his face, axe in his pack
He's Leatherman, Leatherman, Leatherman
Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed
He wasn't known to say much but thanks for the bread
So modern day i walk my way with my jacket faded
Just like a man of leather to whom i may be related
Rolled cigarette for which he'd ask for a light
Appeared to be an animal yet so polite
Making the rounds ten miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say
Here he comes he's a man of the land
He's Leatherman
Smile on his face axe in his hand
He's Leatherman, Leatherman, Leatherman
Leatherman
Leatherman
Shake his hand, he's Leatherman
Bake some bread, he's Leatherman
Shame he's dead, I saw his bed
It's all that's left of
Leatherman
Leatherman
Give me some skin leatherman

All the precious moments, cannot stay
It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay
But still something's missing, I cannot say yeah
Holding hands are daughters and sons
And their faiths are falling down down down down
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road the long road
Cannot stay the long road
There's no need to say goodbye say goodbye
All the friends and family
All the memories going round round round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
And the wind keeps roarin'
And the sky keeps turning grey
And the sun is setting
The sun will rise another day
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road

I'm fallin faster, hoping I'll land in your arms
Cause all my time is spent here
Longing to belong to you
My heart's an open wound that only you replace
And though the moon is rising, can't put your picture down
Love, it's a frightning way to fall
Like when the wind gets tired and the ocean becomes calm
I may be dreaming but I'm longing to belong to you

That will never change
I have you in my head
And no, I'll never hold you
And I'm still asking why
I guess that this is goodbye
My dreams suddenly seem so empty
I could go on my own, but I feel like playin' dead
And for what feels like the first time
I don't know where you are tonight
I guess that this is goodbye
We lived half our lives together
A hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
And the sun, it may be shining
But there's an ocean in my eyes
Cause I know that this is goodbye
"SAVE YOU" & "LBC" single
vAmentv
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
Playing 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
Your 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
"NOT FOR YOU" single
vAbbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedderv
Out of my mind
All of the time
Wish you could help me mister
Wish you could lift me up
Wish you could pack my parachute mister
Wish you could pull me up
The winds of change .. I'm stuck beneath the rain
I wish you could help me up
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Once inside, I'm out of my mind out
Out of my mind
Out of my mind yeah
Once inside, I'm out of my mind
Wish you could help me .. give me a pill
A-just a little drink that I could swill
A little something anything anything, I'll try it all
I ain't got nowhere to go from here
I'm just about this far from drowning in my very own tears
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Once inside, I'm out of my mind yeah
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
I don't feel so fine
Out of my mind
Where do I go .. where do I stay
I got no place to lay on the hay
Where do i go to soothe my head
Guess I'll turn on music instead
Where do I see .. where do I shine
No one wants to take my mind
Where do I go .. how do I feel
Guess I'll waste away in here
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind every single time

I can only play with you
What I'm saying
Is I've been saving
My love for you
I've seen the light, I'm satisfied
That the brightest star is you
Satellite, I'm holding tight
Beaming back to you
Don't think about playing, cause I'm inside waiting
For you
I've felt the light, I'm satisfied that
The highest star is you
Satellite, I'm holding tight
Beaming back to you
Don't you worry
I believe your story
You were put away for something you didn't do
What I'm saying
Is I'm saving
My love ..
UNRELEASED
vPearl Jamv
He expects her, to be easy
He wants it, to be, easy
But she says no, but she says no, I don't want to
She says no, she says no, I don't want to
He expects it too, easy ..
But she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
He wants it, he wants it
So badly he wants, he wants it
But she says no, she says no
She says, 'go to hell if that's all you want me for', she says
No ..
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop, yeah ..
She did nothing to deserve it
He just wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us
He does nothin' to remove it
He's just as hurt 'cause he wants to prove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet, just like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
He's just hurt, she don't remove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Like they taught us, like they taught us ..
"SINGLES" soundtrack
vVedder, Ament, McCreadyv
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 a countin'
Will be in my honor, 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, and, a-directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen, from both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Uh huh, huh, oh ..
Myself .. myself ..
Yeah, yeah ..
Hey, na, na, na, na, hey, that's something
Wanna back, back it away, yeah, huh, uh
And I listen, oh, for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
Won't you help me, help me from myself
Hmm .. State of love and trust, and a ..
State of love and trust, and a ..
State of love and .. yeah ..
"MUSIC FOR OUR MOTHER OCEAN III"
vIronsv
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

I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Counting steps, walking backwards on the road
Counting my way back to heaven
I can't be free with what's locked inside of me
There's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger over it
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Wish that I could hold you
Wish that I had
Thinkin' 'bout heaven
I let go of the road, thinking that's what held me back
And in time I realize it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count the steps as another car goes past
I turned my back, now there's no turning back
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
Choosing the shiny ones instead
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I smile but who am I kidding?
I'm just walkin' the miles, every once in a while I get a ride
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven ..
"WISHLIST" single
vVedderv
You're different this much I know yeah you you you
It might be your guile it could be your mind
It might be the way you take your time
Oh you you you
You it's you it's you you you
Oh you it's you it's you you you
I never know how much to say with you you you
I like to go deep but is it safe with you you you
It might be your needs it could be your eyes
It might be the way you sympathize
Oh you you you
You it's you it's you you you
Oh you it's you it's you you you
You break laws and pay no fines
You get yours and then get mine
I don't think it's easy to stay in love
But you you you you
But you yes you it's you you you
You it's you it's you you you
Ah you
It's you
It's you
It's you
Ah you you you yes you
With you you you you ah
"I AM MINE" single
vVedderv
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
Workin' on the pendulum throws
Farther out to the one side, swinging
Has to sweep back the other way
The world has come undone
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
The world has come undone
Like a game few you can play
Change don't come from one
It's a wave building before it breaks
"LIVE ON TWO LEGS" album
vVedder, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Cameronv
Oh, let's get out of here .. get out of here fast
Ah, everyone's confused so I stay in my room
If I go, I don't want to go alone
I hope you got this message .. oh, you're not home
I could be there in ten minutes, or so
oh, I got my things
We'll make it up as we go along
Oh, with you I could never be alone
Never be alone
"ALIVE" single
vVedder, Gossardv
This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways
Oh there was the time, like a clean, new taste
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love, yeah ..
Sin the sale, buying just a need
Just 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 some way
Bring it back, bring it back, back to .. to the clean form, to the pure form
Wash my love
Wash my love
Wash my love
Ooh ..
"JEREMY" and "DAUGHTER" singles
vVedder, Ament, McCreadyv
Then you said, I wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again yeah
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughta' leave her calm I know
I said I know what I wear not the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah can you see them
Out on the porch yeah but they don't wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
Make me cry
I see ooh I don't know why there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh i said I don't I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah can you see them
Out on the porch yeah but they don't wave
But I see them round the front way yeah
And I know and I know I don't wanna stay at all

I don't don't wanna oh yeah ooh ohh
