Your all-time favourite Pearl Jam lyrics!

[BALLBOY]

Caught a bolt of lightning cursed the day he threw it away, sums me up perfectly.

[Eraserhead]

At the moment:

How I choose to feel is how I am/I wont loose my faith...

[jamingjamers]

its egg rolling thick and heavy

[Antony050974]

Don't even think about reaching me..........and so on.

[Eraserhead]

How could I forget:

"Push me and I will resist"

[Saddlecreek]

I'm a lucky man
to count on both hands
the one's I love
some folks just have one
ya other's they got none

absolutely beautiful

[AELARA]

Actually I can't choose.. There are so many PJ lyrics that I love... Some of my favourites:
"Hearts and thoughts they fade... Fade away..."
" I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine"
"I don't wanna take what you can give, I would rather starve than eat your bread.."

[bigrasta4life]

"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"

[belfast1]

its egg rolling thick and heavy

thats just what popped into my head!

"oh the past we carry.... "

what a great line!!

[CantKeepMeHere]

It makes much sense to live... in the present tense

and

I think the best and most underrated song lyric ever is

...and I come clean...

[freshymad]

Wishlist: "I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood."

God I love that line for the beautiful image it evokes. The guitar part afterwards is sublime and gives me the feeling that I'm floating away!

He wishes he is not the moon but the moon's ethereal reflection. I picture the car parked in the woods. His eye catches that reflection. Maybe it's his lover's car. He's like the moon. He leaves and comes back, leaves and comes back ...

... which brings me back to the beginning of the song. This riff is like something I would have hummed as a kid on a swing. Back and forth, higher and higher.

[dccrash23]

All the rusted signs we ignored throughout our lives, Choosing the shiny ones instead,I turned my back, now there's no turning back

Also after seeing Pearl Jam, they opened with "Why Go" ever since the lyrics, Why Go Home?, Why Go Home" have become one of my favourite

[I am myself like you somehow]

"...he who forgets will be destined to remember..."
"...I don't question our existence, I just question our modern needs..."
"...They said timing was everything, made him want to be everywhere, there's a lot to be said for nowhere..."

[dissident96]

if just one wish could bring her back, it's sent

[MD7886]

God I love this thread - please keep it going!
