    There are very few lyrics I do not know in the pearl jam catalog.

    I think some people will take your comment as a real challenge to catch you out.

    I don't think any lyric section has yet to be answered, so how's this.

    For Scott:

    I want to leave it alone,
    I want to live and let go

    Even stumped me on this one. I couldn't even find these lyrics on Google, for any artist...let alone PJ.

    Apparently we have a quote causing some dilemma. You wanna help us out here?

    It's been so long since I've heard either the alternate version or the studio version of corduroy, but it comes from that song.

    I would say no, if I was absolutely certain it wasn't also in there. However, this was taken directly from the Improv done at the beginning of Porch in Vancouver, December 2, 2013 (which I saw live). A great, funky improv; about half the lyrics legible.

    Now I'm going to have to search the alternate version of corduroy lyrics. Thanks for that work. An improv. Sheesh

    And the sun will fly
    And the rain will come
    On a ground pouring
    Ahh see I'm alive yeah
    I don't what today is
    I don't what she crying
    Yeah I know time ends fading
    And I don't know

    That was my guess when I saw it. I have almost all of it deciphered(I think) because it was just that good.
    Pearl Jam Improv Vancouver ‘13

    Gonna be there for myself
    I don’t want to leave and I’ve got myself
    I got more bottles in my bag
    I don’t want to go home just yet
    Oh with our neighbours to the north
    I got a girl for what it’s worth
    (word) (word) (word) (word)even more
    (word) (word)cause(word) (word)
    So I want to leave it alone
    I want to live and let go
    Leave it alone


    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Can people please post if their lyrics are from an improv?

    Seems this last set of lyrics has really started some interesting dialogue. Hmmm....good to see we have lots of experts!

    So do we have a new set of lyrics to guess? I've lost track of where we are at.
