Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
If you haven't seen Pearl Jam storytellers on mtv then you should catch it, if you're a fan. Eddie tells what this song was about and how the fans thru the years have transformed the meaning of it.

One more for TPaine - I almost forgot about this song. Some of you might recognize it...
"I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again."
I had to google this, so I won't spoil it for the true fan who can recognize the lyrics.
But Smurph, I died laughing when I read the lyrics of the song and saw this verse.
After a few hours of searching the house,
and calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed,
so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.
What are the chances of that!!! Very appropriate!!
:mj07: :mj07:
I completely forget (or never paid attention to) that line!!!! Wow, you can't even make up a coincidence like that.:142smilie :142smilie
Name these:
Lord I was born a ramblin man, trying to make a livin and doing the best I can.
How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man?
Now that I've lost everything to you, you say you want to start something new, and it's breaking my heart you leavin, baby I'm greavin.
Remember when the days were long and the roads beneath these clear blue skies, didn't have a care in the world with mommy and daddy standing by.
Long, long, time ago, I can still remember how the music made me smile.
He was a hard headed man, he was brutally handsome, ...she was teminally pretty.
Well here you go again you say you want your freedom, well who am I to keep you down.

I agree. Number 18 on their list was definitely a buzz kill: "We don't smoke marajuana in Muskogee..." Merle Haggard

how bout:
Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.
I know redsfan knows it.
Well here you go again you say you want your freedom, well who am I to keep you down.
DREAMS.....

I like Stevie.:shrug:
:clap:
hell ya I know this one, no pepper...
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
how about this one?
Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
baby
There is no reason
for you to hide
It's so hard for me
staying here all alone
When you could be
taking me for a ride.

What is "I am a Child" for 200, Alex.
Neil has a lot of great opening lyrics:
Lookout mama there's a white boat comin' down the river...
I caught you knocking on my cellar door, I love you baby can I have some more...
What about this one?
Well, she's walking through the clouds,
With a circus mind that's running wild,
Butterflies and Zebras,
And Moonbeams and fairy tales.
That's all she ever thinks about.
Riding with the wind.

Well, we bursted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a 3-minute record baby
Then we ever learned in school...

those lyrics are from "down by the river"
Better luck next time...:mj07:
Didn't know that latest one, and after using the web to find it, I now know why. Can't stand Sting and that lame-assed band he used to have...:thefinger

It was christmas in prison
And the food was real good
We had turkey and pistols
Carved out of wood

RF: Hendrix wrote Little Wing. Sting just redid it. Stevie Ray did the best remake of the song.
Anyone catch the Van Halen press conference where Diamond Dave said, "This tour is not like The Police."
Down by the River :banghead: -of course
