Man of the Hour lyrics

These are the lyrics as best as I can get them. Commas are placed at breaths.

Man of the Hour

Tidal waves don’t, beg forgiveness,
Crashing on in wait.
Father he en,joyed collisions,
others walked away.
The _2wds__(self- ?) falls in vain.
And the, doors open out,
As the, bells are ringing down.
Because the, man of the hour
Is taking, his final bow.
Bye for now

10 measure instrumental

Nature has it’s, own religion,
Gospel of the land.
A Father ruled by, long division,
That young man____3wds_(takes a stand)
Old man comprehend,
And the sky breaks at dawn,
Shedding light upon this town
We’re all gonna drown (emphasize all)
As the, man of the hour, (Whispered)
Is taking, his final bow. (Whispered)
Bye for now (fades)


And the road
The other man prayed
__1 wd___ them saints
up my waaaayy
Let’s ___3 wds
And just for me,
Because, Gooood made looooove his own waaaaaay

And the, man of the hour, (whispers)
Is taking, his final bow.
As the, curtain comes down,
I feel that, this is just,
Bye for now… (fades)

    ~ is your Pearl Jam cup half empty, or 1/2 Full?
  • The snow flake falls in vain???
  • Yes! It is totally SNOWFLAKE!
  • Can't make out the rest...
    We need to get a soundboard recording
  • i reckon those lyrics are preddy awesome thanks heaps!!
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?
  • First of all, Thumbing did a wonderful job of deciphering. Here is my further reaching interpretation, so I probably really fucked it up.



    Tidal waves don’t beg forgiveness
    Crashing on in wait

    The snowflake falls in vain

    Because the man of the hour
    Is taking his final bow

    Nature has its own religion
    Gospel of the land
    A Father ruled by long division
    The young man may pretend
    Old man comprehend
    And the sky breaks at dawn
    Shedding light upon this town
    We’re all gonna drown
    As the man of the hour
    Is taking his final bow
    Bye for now


    And (the/open?) road
    The other man prayed
    Who of them saints
    Upon our way?
    Looks like lightening (It's enlightening?)
    Ahh, just for me
    Because God made love his own way

    And the man of the hour
    Is taking his final bow.
    As the curtain comes down,
    I feel that this is just
    Bye for now…
    I'm not too concerned with PJ20, because I celebrate the band's existence every year.

  • thanks!! :D
  • Black Circle Spin.

    I think you pretty much got it!
    I have just one more to add.
    I think where the song goes:

    And (the/open?) road
    The other man prayed
    Who of them saints
    Upon our way?
    Looks like lightening (It's enlightening?)
    Ahh, just for me
    Because God made love his own way

    I think it is "In the road"
    I can see someone standing in the road praying, and asking God to send down the saints basically, then asking "And just for me.." A question maybe? I can picture this as a scene in the movie.

    Does anyone know who's singing harmony?
    We're still making records for people who listen to it all the way through, eyes closed, in that space.

    In the road

    It must be a sign
    If just for me
    Because God made love his own way

    And the man of the hour
    Is taking his final bow.
    As the curtain comes down,
    I feel that this is just
    Bye for now…

    This is my final revision and I think it is accurate except for the line "Who of them saints" But yea! I think this is it!
