Are you woman enough to be my man
Bandaged hand in hand
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
"... I got memories, I got shit
So much it don't show..."
"...I cannot stop the thought
of running in the dark
Comin' up a which-way sign
all good truents must decide..."
"...Progress laced with ramifications
Freedom's big plunge..."
"... For every tool they lend us
A loss of independence..."
"...Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
to find an approach and a way to live..."
"...Who's kidding? Rainy day, a one-way ticket headstone
Occupations overthrown, a whisper through a megaphone..."

I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine"

The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
"She once believed...in every story he had to tell...
One day she stiffened...took the other side...
Empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell...
One just escapes...one's left inside the well...
And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...

Nothingman...
Isn't it something?

I was just about to post this, and basically for the same reason
So, as I always ask when I run into a Canadian PJ fan - are you also a big Our Lady Peace fan? (sometimes referred to as Canadian Pearl Jam)?
Just curious.
Mike
Not really, I haven't listened to them in years. They do have have a few good ones out there though, but not enough for me to refer to them as the Canadian Pearl Jam
Just one from a long list of many.
The in between is mine
I am mine"
"Saw things
Saw things
Saw things
Saw things
Clearer
Clearer
Once you were in my rearview mirror"
How I choose to feel is how I am/I wont loose my faith...
"Push me and I will resist"
to count on both hands
the one's I love
some folks just have one
ya other's they got none
absolutely beautiful
"Hearts and thoughts they fade... Fade away..."
" I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine"
"I don't wanna take what you can give, I would rather starve than eat your bread.."
He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer
Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike
Drilling for fear, makes the job simple
Born on third, thinks he got a triple"
thats just what popped into my head!
"oh the past we carry.... "
what a great line!!
and

God I love that line for the beautiful image it evokes. The guitar part afterwards is sublime and gives me the feeling that I'm floating away!
He wishes he is not the moon but the moon's ethereal reflection. I picture the car parked in the woods. His eye catches that reflection. Maybe it's his lover's car. He's like the moon. He leaves and comes back, leaves and comes back ...
... which brings me back to the beginning of the song. This riff is like something I would have hummed as a kid on a swing. Back and forth, higher and higher.
Also after seeing Pearl Jam, they opened with "Why Go" ever since the lyrics, Why Go Home?, Why Go Home" have become one of my favourite
