Pearl Jam Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me lyrics
don't you want people to love you?
my spanking, that's the only thing i want so much...
spanking, that's the only thing i want so much...
that's the only thing i want so much...
don't you want people to love you?
my spanking, that's the only thing i want so much...
that's the only thing i want so much...
why is that better than being hugged?
why is that better than being hugged?
because you get closer to the person...
closer to the person...
why is that better than being hugged?
because you get closer to the person...
closer to the person...
just like a person having sex feels cared for...
we wanna be loved, so we have sex together...
and they feel loved about that...
and this is the way it makes me feel...loved...
i want it, i dream about it, i think about it, i want it...
just like a girl wants sex with a boy, you know?
it's the way i'll always be probably...
my last one was born in the system...
see, they're stupid, very stupid, those people over there...
they're stupid...
these people are so below mentality, honest to god, really...
you know what i mean, he got the nerve to bug me...
you know what i mean, he got the nerve to bug me...
this mentality, honest to god, really...
you know what i mean, he got the nerve to bug me...
honest to god, really...
you know what i mean, he got the nerve to bug me...
bug me...bug me...he got the nerve to bug me...
everything seems so eight ball...
everything seems so eight ball...
and i, i don't know if that's my imagination, but, umm...
hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
and i don't know if that's my imagination, but, umm...
hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
think they got me...
hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...hmm...
hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
...know if that's my imagination, but, umm...
hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
she prides herself on her cleaning habits...
she prides herself on her cleaning habits...
hey foxymophandlemama, that's me...
she prides herself on her cleaning habits...
she prides herself on her cleaning habits...
it's a lovely stupid mop, it is...
there's something really screwey about no streaking...
is it any old dumb mop? it streaks...
come on mop, no streaking mop...
i don't mind mop the floor, my mop streaks, i don't like it...
it's not me, it's the mop...
come, i bought some new mops...
go away you stupid, dumb old sponge mop...
i don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful...
i don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful...
i don't believe it...old sponge mop...
dumb old sponge mop...
dumb old sponge mop...
old sponge mop...
dumb old sponge mop...
you're right, this mop's stupid...
dumb old sponge mop...
i don't believe it...now the floor looks beautiful...
that's why they call me mophandlemama...
now the floor looks beautiful...
that's why they call me mophandlemama...
that's why they call me mophandlemama...
that's why they call me mophandlemama...
in two weeks, before she could see herself not dressed...
the twenty-third of may...you know she disturbed no one today...
the manager told her to completely forget...
if you ever go to bed, i'll kill you...
do i tell the whole world that i'm mentally ill?
go to the papers...yeah, why not?
drum roll...
i want to show them that i can walk on my own without hands of theirs...
and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself...
keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
i think i deserve to be loved, don't you?
very much so...
think i deserve to be loved...
keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
i think i deserve to be loved, don't you?
...to be loved, don't you?
but i keep it to myself...
keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
i think i deserve to be loved, don't you?
and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself...
keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
i think i deserve to be loved, don't you?
very much so...
do you ever think that you would actually, really kill yourself?
well, if i have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
yes, i believe i would...
i have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
yes, i believe i would...
and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself...
keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
...that i can walk without hands of theirs...
and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself...
keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
i think i deserve to be loved, don't you?
...that i can walk without hands of theirs...
and, i can still fantasize, but i keep it to myself...
keep it to myself...keep it to myself...
i think i deserve to be loved, don't you?
very much so...
do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself?
well, if i have thought about it real, uhh, real deep...
yes, i believe i would...

I know this song gets bashed and receives little recognition, but it is so very haunting I thought I would give it it's little place on the forum. Any thoughts?

    I love the song. It's way underrated in my opinion. It's great that PJ do the odd experimental track like this. What's great is how the song is so dark and creepy.
    Also i love the bassline that comes in towards the end. It's really simple but powerful. Uses the same notes as the in the chorus of Satan's Bed i think. Lyrics are cool to read too yeah! Read them for the first time a while ago and it was nice to see what's actually being said. Creepy....

    Apparently, it's actual audio from a mental hospital, from a documentary

    I kinda like to listen to it before going to sleep.... The whole end of vitaology is lovely and chilled!

    Dude! Can you imagine how messed up that would be to see live! Haha. It'd be hard without Jack Irons anyways cos it was him that drummed for it (right?) and he's known for experimental style tracks like that.

    As a fan since 1992 owning all + all boots, etc. I feel I am entitled to say that not only can I not stand this track but I wish it had never been recorded.

    Worst PJ song of all time, and quite possible the worst song of all time even worse than Nirvana's Montage of Heck.

    Can't stand HeyFoxy....

    What's Montage of Heck? Never heard of it. And no Pearl Jam song is worse than all the pop and mainstream shit out there today. I actually enjoy this song, except when I am sleeping and I hear it.

    Maybe, but specific to 'Hey Foxymophandlemama That's Me (Stupid Mop)
    I feel it's certainly debateable.

    Sorry dude, but just cos you've been a fan longer than others and own more PJ stuff than them, it doesnt make you any "more" entitled to an opinion - or even makes your opinion more valid.

    Sure the song is debatable. No-one has to like it either though, so thanks for your opinion.

    i thnk dave a was the drummer on vitalogy, i.e. "hey foxymophandlemama thats me"....once again, good tune..but not for everyone...you really gotta be in the mood for it..you cant be at a barbaque and put it on..its alone time with your walkman...i like how pj sums up the end of the albums...master/slave at the end of ten, "secret song" at the end of yield, "hey foxy.."....its good stuff

    Hey, just checked and i was wrong in thinking Jack irons drummed on Vitaolgy. Dave A did drum for the album except for mophandlemama - which was jack Irons. Check link to see:

    I never said I was, nor did I say it did, and who are you to decide or know what I own,...... so "whatever". Grow up.

    It's just that sometimes you get people coming across all elitist just because they've been a PJ fan longer than others etc, and thats the way i interpreted your original post.
    But ok im sorry, i take it back. No offence intended.

    that is only too true... i always sleep with pearl jam on, and for too long never learned my lesson... everytime I'd lullabye me with this album, I'd wake up in the middle of the night, not knowing what's goin on or what the fuck to do for at least 5 secs or so til I'd regain some composure...

    similar effect with the shadow track of binaural ... so no vitalogy or binaural for me whilst asleep:)

    indeed, this song appears to be some kind of a product of Eddie's frustration with Dave. he seems to let it out:) .. that;s just from the effect though... nothing to do with the words...

    Innocent Bystander....

    thank you so much for this... this song has always had such an effect on me....

    just beautiful to now have the lyrics, which I'm gonna write down and spread among the many whom i know, and who've been hit by this song....

    I love the kid's obsession with the floor lookin beautiful, and how he just keeps gettin drawn to whatever keeps penetratin his god for saken mind...

    thanks
