Pearl Jam - Education

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 - Hold On [Acoustic Demo]

I was drawn...
Riding atop a black horse.
Whatever prize there was,...
I could only observe...
Where the trouble starts.
Where does it end?
How can I be cured?
How, before it ends?

I know... life would be different if I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something if I... held on.

Gave her life away,...
Put it in my pocket when it shoulda been framed.
Oh, I lost its shine.
Gotta get this outta my head,...
Out of my bed!
How could it end,...
End like this?
How could it end?

I know... life would be different had I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something had I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something if I... held on! Held on.
I know... life would be different if I... held on! Held on!

Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on.

Pearl Jam - Brother [With Vocals]

Hand over my face
I am related to my enemy
Our house on fire and big brother
Brother tried to put the blame on me

Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on

You use the flag as a bandage
Oh my big brother's a pocket hypocrisy
In the closet, my pleasures 'cause big brother
Brother don't wanna just let me be

Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on
Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back, oh better back on

Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now

In my mind there's a clearing
Rose gardens open grey skies
Oh no one's hurting
And I'm joying
I'm flying, I'm flying

Oh, back to back to back, oh better back on
Back to back to back, back come on
Back to back to back to back to back, back

Hey now
Big brother, brother, brother
Hey now
Brother
Hey now

Pearl Jam - Down

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.

(So long)

Pearl Jam - Hard To Imagine

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

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

Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow.
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Somehow.
Ohh

Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. I hope this works somehow.
Things were different then. All is different now.
I tried to explain. Oh, somehow.
Ohh

Pearl Jam - U

Thought it was easy to fall in love
But you, you, you
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, - It's you
But you knew, knew, knew.

Pearl Jam - Strangest Tribe

It's five below in evidence.
The winded eves and sideways snow.
His eminence has yet to show.

Follow the ageless tide.
Follow the angled light.
Follow the strangest tribe.
I... I... I...

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 strangest tribe.
I... I... I...

Follow the ancient stripe.
Follow the angel's try.
Follow the strangest tribe.
I... I... I...

Pearl Jam - Sad

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

Pearl Jam - Let Me Sleep (It's Christmas Time)

Cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost nowhere to go
Oh when I was a kid oh how magic it seemed
Oh please let me sleep it's Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned not froze for your sins
Oh I'm so tired and cold

Oh when I was a kid oh how magic it seemed
Oh please let me sleep it's Christmas time
Oh oh when I was a kid oh how magic it seemed
Oh please let me sleep it's Christmas time
Oh oh when I if I was a kid oh how magic it seemed
Oh please let me dream it's Christmas time

Pearl Jam - Last Kiss

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, up straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last.

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm rollin' through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night.

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Pearl Jam - Footsteps

Don't even think about reaching me. I won't be home.
Don't even think about stopping by. Don't think of me at all.

I did what I had to do. If there was a reason, it was you.

Aaah, don't even think about getting inside. Voices in my head. Ooh, voices.
I got scratches all over my arms. One for each day since I fell apart.

Ooh, I did, oh, what I had to do. If there was a reason it was you.

Footsteps in the hall... It was you, you.
Ooh, pictures on my chest... It was you. It was you...

Ooh, I did a what I had to do. Oh, and if there was a reason... Oh, there wasn't no reason. no.
And if there's something you'd like to do. Oh, just let me continue to blame you.

Footsteps in the hall... It was you, you.
Ooh, pictures on my chest... It was you, you. Oh
