the world has come undone...

I just *love* this song :D It even had my fiance tapping his foot!

undone

last stop on the westcoast line
south of the northern border
one small corner on my mind
everybody, they know me there
don't get any second glances
chances are that they don't care
the world has come undone
like to change it everyday
change don't come at once
it's a wave building before it breaks
can't wait for election day
witness the occupation
corporations rule the day
workin' on the pendulum throws
farther out to the one side, swinging
has to sweep back the other way
the world has come undone
another day and who can wait
change don't come at once
it's a wave building before it breaks
all this hope and nowhere to go
this is how i used to feel, but no more
the world has come undone
like a game few you can play
change don't come from one
it's a wave building before it breaks

    Great tune. I put it on a PJ mix for my girlfriend, and every time it comes one she says she really likes it.

  • Is it just me or are the Riot Act B-sides simply awesome?

    Down
    Otherside
    Undone

    All great tunes!
    Makes much more sense to live in the Present Tense.

    No, I wouldn't say that you suck, but that's just plain sad. :( You have to hear Other Side.
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.
  • My copy of Riot Act has Undone, Down & Otherside on it :) They are amongst the best songs on the album IMHO but it's also interesting to see how some people love certain songs that others detest.

    Unfortunately Love Boat Captain, Green Disease & Help Help didn't make the cut though on my Riot Act.

    This song is amazing. I feel in love with it the second I heard it. It's so catchy... It's in my top ten for sure.

  • Lost dogs is like icing on cake. It's the missing piece of the PEARL JAM puzzle. I feel so much more musically fulfilled now. I find myself listening to sad,undone, dead man, fatal,and otherside like I am never going to hear them again.
    we can dream, and we can make dreams come true for others
  • Undone is so awesome!!!...sounds to me like Ed is just being Ed's old honest self and giving his glimspe of reality..

  • Undone is such a great song. I just love that Ed's lyrics are so hopeful.

    What a GREAT song! It always forces me to get up and get down. In true Ed fashion, the lyrics are fuckin phenomenal. Very catchy and powerful song all in one. I love it more and more with each listen!

    Thank you PJ! The song starts out with a bang (love those drums) and it just keeps on bangin! And the pause into short little jam at the end is awesome. :)

  • i am so happy to see this thread. undone is so catchy, it's hard not to like. it is one of eddie's best songs. and one of his best melody's. and you can bet they will be playing this one at the vote for change tour. i just hope they record it so i can hear it. this song is tops!!

    i didn't know what all the words were at first(thank god for pearl jam lyric sites) but the melody hooked me, and then i got to know all the words. great lyrics, great music. an instant favorite of mine. eddie rules!!

  • i forgot to give the thumbs up! TWO thumbs up!
    ...caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go...
  • i just looked over the lyrics and noticed a mnor mistake.
    ed sings "well you know, the pendulum throws..."
    it sounds better, doesn't it.

    but ya great, great lyrics.

  • Undone gives me hope. It sounds cheesy to say, but it does. The two lines that can bring me up when i have lost hope are both from the riot act era:

    "change don't come at once...it's a wave...building before it breaks"

    and

    "the young, they can lose hope 'cause they can't see beyond today"

    the LBC line makes me hope that, as i grow (i'm still relatvely young, especially when measured in experience), i will find new sources of hope. It's easy to be scared when you look at the way things are going.
  • I love subtle but significant change from

    "Change don't come at once it's a wave....building before it breaks"

    to

    "Change don't come from one it's a wave....building before it breaks"

    That tickles my brain. Brilliant, and they're both so true.

    And it's a good song to listen to when you're riding in a car. Or bus. Or train. It just has that feel.

    Though i'm not quite sure what he means by "All this hope and nowhere to go", to be honest. Can someone fill me in?
  • This is one of my favourite songs... I have it written out in one of my university art books, with some random drawings behind them with whatever i was thinking while i listened to the song... At the end, i must of been bored because i drew this huge wave out of black and blue pen, and white out.. Lol
    She said to me, over the phone...She wanted to see other people... I thought:
    "Well then, look around, they're everywhere"
    Said that she was confused... I thought:
    "Darling, join the club"
