A few more lines to push it over the 3 minute epic mark. ‘Got Some’ is almost, but not quite as deep as this one, lyrically…Dylan’s got nothing on these guys..
When something’s dead I wanna put a little life on it
When something’s fat I wanna put a little skinny on it
If something’s left I wanna make it right again
Yeah Yeah Yeah
If something’s bad I wanna put some good on it
If something’s white I wanna put some black on it
When nothing’s left I wanna fight to get it back again
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh man, think of the limitless improvisations on the boots :roll: ..
'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
I hope this is some kind of inside joke towards Target or if you play it backwards it gives you Pearl Jam back again !
Good one. I love how people are saying this song will be great live. How so? Will the music really change? Are the lyrics going to suddenly become intelligent?
I'm afraid they're actually going to add some "do-wop" singers.
Because some of us heard the leaked performance of this song. I have to say the leaked version is a hell of a lot better then the studio version. Much more rocking and alot less corniness.

The lyrics were less corny, or you just couldn't make them out ?

I hate to say it but this song isn't even good enough to have made it on to riot act. If this is a sign to of things to come this is going to a very bad album.

totally agree here...my excitement for the album has dwindled big time after hearing both these songs

after hearing 'got some' and the songs eddie's played at his shows, i feel confident saying "don't worry".
i was just thinking that though.. if i hadn't heard anything else yet, i may be a little worried.
i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

The end and speed of sound are great. The fixer sucks. I'll hold off on got some until I hear the studio version. I don't think it was done justice on conan.
WTF people?!? I am so taken aback by all this criticism, I can't even stand to read this thread, much less this board right now. I have been a fan of this band from day one and while I don't love every song, I have never once criticized a song to the point of saying it "blows" or "sucks" or whatever choice words are being used here. If Pearl Jam is truly your favorite band then just be thankful they are still releasing new music, like it or not, and don't blast it for all the world to see. I personally love this song because it's catchy, fun, different, and most of all because it is a NEW Pearl Jam song. What else do you need? Just keep the criticism to yourself and allow those of us who truly love and appreciate this band to enjoy ourselves. Thanks!

Wow, you can lay on the passive aggressive sarcasm pretty thick can't ya? Forgive me for wanting to make a point. Now you've made yours. Carry on.

ah cmon how can that lyric be in this thread. Good lyric and it makes sense in the song. and its
"I never knew soap made you taller", little difference but with a much different meaning.
This is not for you, never was for you...F**k you....do you like those lyrics?...
Jose
YES I love those lyrics... Not For You >>>>>>>>>> The Fixer.... and yes I get the irony, sure they can make songs for whoever they want, but I believe the "you" in "not for you" is the media, not the fans

When something’s broke I wanna put a bit of fixin on it......yikes
the lyric is just fine. it fits in the type of song they were creating. if your such a brilliant writer, create something better.
Relax. The lyric is cheesy. It does fit in the type of song that they created though.
Who wants to live in a world where we can't anonymously criticize cheese-ball lyrics spewed out by our favourite band? I have an entire thread of crticism in the vault for the cheesiness that is Come Back.

i don't need to relax. Pearl Jam work very hard to put out the best music they can for themselves and their fans and people who don't even have half the talent as them think they are all of a sudden experts when it comes to writing songs and lyrics. like i said, if you can do it better, write some music and let us listen. i'm sure i won't be hearing any music on the radio or net from any of you who are criticizing these lyrics. i'm sure you don't even do your own job as well as pearl jam do theirs.
I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.
The funny thing is that there are quite a few threads on The Porch where people posted their own lyrics to "The Fixer," and they're really not that off from what Ed is saying in the song.
The odd part is that they were joking when they wrote their lyrics. Although, maybe the lyrics by Ed are intentionally not serious?
I'm not feeling this song. But then again, I HATED "Black" (of all songs) for years before I eventually started to love it.

well, in all fairness the message pit is for discussing pearl jam related topics and this is one, not everyone has to like the song.

Hahaha. It looks so so bad when it's written down.
The song is ok though. Not my favourite PJ songs by any means.
