Guys and gals trying to get lyrics to all the songs on the upcoming album.

I was able to find (4) of them but not all.

Yes these are for personal use only, trying to get in the zone before the shows.

  • oh, if i did, now im a fool you see..

    Are you sure it's not
    if I didn't, I'm a fool you see...?

    I can't tell for sure, but "didn't" works much better in the context of the song imo... anyone else?
    It makes much more sense... to live... in the present tense

    Won't let the light escape from me.
    Won't let the darkness swallow me.
  • AS MJ (Michael Jordan) once said "I'm Back"...

  • Gonna See My Friend

    (vedder / vedder)

    do you wanna hear something sick?
    we are but victims of desire
    i'm gonna shake this thing
    i wanna shake this pain before i retire

    i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend
    make it go away
    i'm sick of everything, i'm gonna see my friend
    make it go away

    buona sera, won't be long before we all walk off the wire
    i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend
    for what i require

    buona sera, cut my quick
    don't want my flame to get no higher

    i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
    i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
    i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away

    wanna leave it all
    wanna give it up
    wanna see it, gone once & for all

    wanna feel withdrawl
    want an overhaul
    wanna be there, hard as a statue
    black as a tattoo, never to wash away

    gonna take me an astral plane
    i'm gonna tunnel trhough denial
    i'm gonna shake this thing
    i wanna shake this pain 'for i retire

    i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
    i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
    i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away




    Got Some


    (vedder / vedder)

    every night with the lights out, where you gone?
    what's wrong
    overtime you can try but can't turn on your rock song

    got some if you need it

    get it now, get it on before it's gone
    let's everybody carry on, carry on

    get it now set it off before it's gone
    get everybody carry on, carrying on

    precipitation, which side are you on
    are you on the rise? are you falling down?
    lemme know, c'mon let's go yeh!

    got some

    get it now, get it on, before it's gone
    let's everybody carry on, carry on

    turn it up, set it off, before we're gone
    let's everybody carry on, carry on

    this situation, which side are you on?
    are you getting out? are you dropping boombs?
    have you heard of diplomatic resolve resolve? yeh!

    precipitation, which side are you on?
    are you on the rise? are you falling down?
    lemme know c'mon let's go

    get it now, get it on before it's gone
    let's everybody carry on, carry on

    turn it up, set it off before we're gone
    let's everybody get it on, get it

    precipitation, which side are you on?
    are you drying up? are you a big drop?
    are you a puddle full of detriment?

    got some if you need it
    got some



    The Fixer

    vedder/ cameron/ mccready/ gossard)

    when something's dark, lemme shed a little light on it
    when something's cold, lemme put a little fire on it
    if something's old, i wanna put a little shine on it
    when something's gone, i wanna fight to get it back again

    yeah, yeah, yeah

    when something's broke, i wanna put a bit of fixing on it
    if something's bored, i wanna put a bit exciting on it
    when something's low, i wanna a little high on it
    when something's lost, i wanna fight to get it back again

    when signals cross, i wanna put a little straight on it
    if there's no love, i wanna try to love again

    i'll say your prayers
    i'll take your side
    i'll find us a way to make light

    i'll dig your grave
    we'll dance and sing
    what say, could be our last lifetime!



    Johnny Guitar

    (vedder / cameron /gossard)

    johnny guitar watson staring at me
    riding on three wheels, a woman on his knee
    with a leg under a red dress i wish i could see
    further north a warmth alive & lingering

    now johnny he be having lots of women
    the reason he be smiling known to him

    on the left the girl in red so innocent
    never sheds her clothes even when she goes to bed
    the type of girl responsible foriginal sin
    can't help but wonder where & who she is

    and the memory is always getting cleared
    for that's 30 years or more i've loved her so
    and i know i need to know.. why she's with him

    and i sleep w/ the light on.. in case she comes
    and i sleep w/ the light on.. in case she

    recently as i was waiting on a dream
    she came to visit lost & lonely me
    she leaned over the bed & with her lips above my head
    she asked if i had seen her johnny

    oh and i hide my disappointment
    cause for years i had been hoping
    oh yeh, i had been hoping
    that when she came, she would come for me

    i hide my disappointment
    cause for years i had been hoping
    that when she came,
    she'd be coming just for me



    Just Breathe

    (vedder / vedder)

    yes i understand that every life must end, aw huh
    as we sit alone, i know someday we must go, aw huh
    i'm a lucky man to count on both hands
    the ones i love..

    some folks just have one,
    other they got none, aw huh..

    stay with me..
    let's just breathe.

    practiced are my sins,
    never gonna let me win, aw huh..
    under everything, just another human being, aw huh..
    yeh, i don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
    to make me bleed.

    stay with me..
    you're all i see.

    did i say that i need you?
    did i say that i want you?
    oh, if i didn't i'm a fool you see..
    no one know this more than me.
    as i come clean.

    i wonder every day
    as i look upon your face, aw huh..
    everything you gave
    and nothing you would take, aw huh..
    nothing you would take
    everything you gave

    did i say that i need you?
    oh, did i say that i want you?
    oh, if i didn't now i'm a fool you see..
    no one know this more than me
    as i come clean

    nothing you would take
    everything you gave
    hold me till i die..
    meet you on the other side



    Amongst The Waves

    (vedder / gossard)

    what used to be a house of card
    has turned into a reservoir
    saved the tears that we're waterfalling
    let's go swim tonight, darling

    & once outside the undertow
    just you & and & nothing more
    if not for love i would be drowning
    i've see it work both way, but i am up

    riding high amongst the waves
    i can feel like i
    have a soul that has been saved
    i can feel like i
    put away my early grave

    gotta say it now
    better loud
    that too late

    remember back the early day
    when you were young & thus amazed
    suddenly the channel changed
    the first time you saw blood

    cut to later, now you're strong
    you've bled yourself, the wounds are gone
    it's rare when there is nothing wrong
    survived & you're amongst the fittest
    love ain't love until you give it up

    riding high amongst the waves
    i can feel like i
    have a soul that has been saved
    i can see the light
    coming through the clouds in rays

    gotta say it now
    better loud
    that too late



    Unthought Known

    (vedder / vedder)

    All the thoughts... you never see... you're always thinking...
    Brain is wired... brain is deep.... oh are you sinking?

    feel the path of every day...which road you taking?
    breathing hard... & making hay... yeh this is living...

    look for love & evidence.. that you're worth keeping
    swallowed whole in negatives.. it's so sad & sickening

    feel the air up above... a pool of blue sky...
    fill the air up with love... black w/starlight.....

    feel the sky blanket you... w/gems & rhinestones...
    see the path cut by the moon.. for you to walk on...
    for you to walk on...

    nothing left...nothing left...
    nothing there... nothing left...

    see the path cut by the moon.. for you to walk on...
    see the waves on distant shores... anything your arrival...

    dream the dreams of other men... you'll be no ones rival...
    dream the dreams of others then... you will be no ones rival...
    you will be no ones rival...

    a distant time... a distant space... that's where we're living...
    a distnt time... a distant place... so what you giving?...
    what you giving?



    Supersonic

    (vedder / gossard)

    yeah i been dreaming of getting along
    now i'm awake, dreaming keep it on keeping on
    i catch a break, then a punch to the head
    i smile big wih a toothless grin

    supersonic gone & took my soul
    i caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
    supersonic, truth be told
    i don't need you to live, but i'll never let you go

    yeah, i been thinking, i already know
    nothing bout nothing, or so i have been told
    i'm not the paper, i'm more the the fold
    cut the crease & put the shit in the whole

    supersonic gone & took my soul
    i caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
    supersonic, truth be told
    i don't need you to live, but i'll never let you go

    supersonic, gotta feel it now
    i need to hear it, need to feel it loud yeh
    supersonic, truth be told
    i wanna live my life with the volume full



    Speed of Sound

    (vedder / vedder)

    yesterdays, how quick they change
    all lost and long gone now

    it's hard to remember any thing
    moving at the speed of sound
    moving with the speed of sound

    and yet i'm still holding tight
    to this dream of distant light
    and that somehow i'll survive

    but this night has been a long one
    waiting on a sun? that just don't come

    can i forgive what i
    cannot forget
    and live a lie?
    i could give it one more try

    why deny this drive inside?
    just looking for some peace

    overtime i get me some
    it gets the best of me
    not much left you see

    and yet i'm still holding tight
    to this dream of distant light
    and that somehow i'll survive

    but this night has been a long one
    waiting on a word? that never comes

    a whisper in the dark
    is that you or just my thoughts?
    wide awake & reaching out

    it's gone so quiet now
    could it be i'm farther out?
    moving faster than the speed of sound



    Force of Nature

    understand she's a force of nature
    contraband hiding deep inside he soul
    exorcising her will to lose control
    she lets go

    a common man, he don't stand a chance, no
    wonderland pulling alice in the hole
    no way to save someone who won't take the rope
    and just let's go

    one man stands the edge of the ocean
    a beacon on dry land
    eyes upon the horizon
    in the dark before the dawn

    hurricane has the trade winds blowing
    a gale force shaking windows in the storm
    shipwreckon the rock that he calls home
    with one light on

    somewhere there'a a siren singing
    a song only he hears
    all the strenght that you might think
    would disappear... resolving

    one man stand alone, awaiting
    for her to come home
    eyes upon the horizon
    in dark before the darkness meets the dawn

    makes me ache... makes me shake...
    is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    last i say, he was out there waiting
    a silhouette in the black light, full moon glow
    in the sand there he stands upon the shore
    forevermore

    somewhere there's a siren singing
    a song only he hears
    all the strength that you might think
    woul disappear, resolving

    one man stands alone, awaiting
    for her to come home
    eyes are closed... you cannot know
    but his heart don't seem to roam



    The End

    (vedder / vedder)

    what were all those dreams we shared
    those many year ago?
    what where all those plans we made
    now left beside the road?
    behind us in the road

    more than friends i always pledged
    cause friend they come and go
    people change and does everything
    i wanted to grow old
    just want to grow old

    slide on next to me
    i'm just a human being
    i will take the blame
    but just the same
    this is not me
    you see
    believe
    i'm better than this

    don't leave me so cold
    or buried beneath the stones
    i just want to hold on
    and know i'm worth your love
    enough
    i don't think
    there's such a thing

    it's my fault, now i been caught
    a sickness in my bones
    how it paints to leave you here
    with the kids on your own
    just don't let me go

    help me see myself
    cause i can no longer tell
    looking out from the inside of
    the bottom of a well
    it's hell
    i yell
    but no one hears

    before i disappear
    whisper in my ear
    give me something to echo
    in my unknown futures ear

    my dear
    the end
    comes near
    i'm here
    but not much longer

  • Hoping the backspacer lyrics aren't autobiographical, especially 'the end'! Strong songs, great album, loved it first listen until the last track, have found that I can't enjoy it without this question answered since though. 'The end' is the rawest most brutal song I think I've ever heard.

    The End could be autobiographical. I don't think anyone, including Ed, knows yet.

    To me, in that song, Ed is envisioning a man on his deathbed ... looking back ... reflecting on life ... seeking redemption, or at least forgiveness, for his faults.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do
  • "Just Breathe"
    Could this be Ed's first love song?
    If I'm reading it right, I feel as though this is one is personal & meant for one person...i.e. his wife.
    I can't think of any other songs of his in the same category (Love Boat Captain is more general--to all of us).
    Just throwing it out there.

    PS.I'm glad it's not a Faith Hill cover tune. Haha.
