    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!

    Ghost - "Didn't know soap made you taller"

    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.

    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.

    work = work + 1;

    Hahaha. It looks so so bad when it's written down.

    The song is ok though. Not my favourite PJ songs by any means.

    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 ;)

    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.

    You don't need to be a brilliant writer..lol....so it's supposed to say, "when something is broken, I want to fix it." I love it..

    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.

    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.
