    If there is any song that I can relate too by PJ, it's this song.

    My lips are shakin' my nails are bit off
    Been a month since I've even heard myself talk
    Only advantage this life's got on me
    Picture empty cup in the middle of the sea

    And I fought back in my mind
    Never lets me be right, I got memories, I got shit
    So don't you go and show it

    Oh, I walked the line, when you held me in at night
    Oh, I walked the line, when you held my hand at night

    On empty shells seem so easy to crack
    Got all these questions
    Don't know who I could even ask
    So I'll just lie alone, and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly as you're lookin' at me

    And I sent you to bed
    Oh, in a little while I'll see now
    If just once I found true love
    Oh, I'd say it like I mean it

    But I walked the line
    When you held me in at night
    Oh, I walked the line
    When you held my hand at night
    Oh, I walked the line
    When you held me close at night
    I paid the price
    Never held you in real life

    My lips are shakin'.


    Fuckin' great song!!!

    The first time i really heard this was on the chicago 1995 boot... best fucking version ever... i listened to it seven times in a row or something like that... neil's solos on the real version are incredible too...

    whenever i try to describe how much i love this song, and how it makes me feel....i cant even get close. it's.....so powerful, so beautiful, so tragic, so...AMAZING. i truely cannot say all the things it makes me feel, because those feelings are not constricted to words, they go beyond that.


    and this bit dreamn?

    so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
    where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me
    and i stare you back
    oh blue eyes, i've seen it
    if just once i could feel love
    oh stare back at me, yeah..

    What a song, so simple yet so powerful, like so many others I relate to nearly every lyric in the song. I bought the Greatest Hits just coz this song was on it even though i have a few boots with it on it aswell as Tb2k.

    I've always thought of the line as:

    'And i stare you back,
    Oh blue eyes i've seen it..
    If just once i could feel love,
    stare back at me..'

    That line and the one before it are so powerful.

    This really is a great PJ song. At first i prefered the TB2K version because i was a bit faster and flowed more, but now i think i prefer the studio version, i think it really matches the mood of the lyrics and gives it a spookier feel.

    When i hear the lyrics to the second verse/second prechorus, i get such a strong image in my head, these really are some of Ed's best lyrics-not just for the poetic beauty of the words etc, but for the emotion behind them etc.
    Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later...

    Great song. Prefer the live version on TB2K though - the chorus is choppier!

    I can't even come close to describing it either....I was actually going to try just now but....there aren't any words....loved this song from the very first note.

    it's just too beautiful, too tragic, too beautiful, too powerful. too everything! it makes me smile that you feel the same way....

    man, this was the song that started it for me. before id been a casual fan but then i heard this tune on the radio and it hit me so hard... i spent forever tracking it down and trying to find it. the words are so true and heartbreaking... i love it.
  • kenny olavkenny olav Posts: 3,319
    This song clearly owns. Its in a class all by itself. Neil's guitar pretty much always rocks, but's its especially poignant on this song, and I don't throw the word 'poignant' around for nothin. Ed's vocals produce an amazing carthasis. Definately one of PJ's best.

    I know that the pearl jam fans i've met, they don't classify this in there top ten, but i classify this in my top 3.. I have loved this song since the first day i heard it.. And i completely agree with the red bits that animal highlighted, those are what i say "MY" part of the song is..

    I relate to this song so much, and It is a powerful song

    Anyone have an mp3 of the TB2K montreal version who would also be willing to help me out? C'mon get in that spirit of giving people.
