Cheesiest PJ lyrics hands down are "U". I know it is a B-side, but wow!

Good call, but I think 'Don't Gimme No Lip' has it beat.

The lyrics make me smile, but in a good way.

It's a fun fun fun summer singalong song....happy happy joy joy and all that rot!

It's not afraid to "go there", and I like that in a song!

The verse lyrics to "the Fixer" weren't written to change your life or enlighten you. In this particular song, it is about the energy/catchiness of Ed's delivery and the music itself. The only lyric in the song that matters is the chorus "Fight to get it back again", which can relate to many different things and may actually inspire some folks... What is "it"? Country, freedom, love, health, career, sobriety, inner sense, happiness, etc.

I'm sure those who aren't big fans of "the Fixer" due to 'poorly written lyrics' will be happy with some of the other songs off Backspacer were the lyrics are a more integral aspect of the song. ie. Present Tense, In My Tree, Black.

With that said, I wouldn't be surprised to learn these are Matt Cameron's lyrics. He wrote the music and these words sound like Matt's to me.

But really though, I like this angular pop song. I like that it's different than their past stuff and to me it's their first song with radio appeal since wishlist. (How dare PJ write a radio friendly song!! ) That chorus is infectious and it gives a glimpse of hope to a dying world. I know it has personally put me in a better mood after a listen.

If the lyrics are weak, put a little strong on them.

If the criticism is hot, put a little cool on it.

The only way to judge is to hear it LIVE!

That lyric (although you butchered it) is awesome. You just don't get or care for it's meaning.

The Fixer, however, does make me cringe.

I keep hearing that Ed wrote these lyrics (I know, seems odd). I'm also hoping that Matt wrote them.
