    no, it's..."1, 2, 3, 4, f*** the harmless little f***...f***, f***, f*** the harmless little f***."

    i got a PM from someone who said his brother was friends with ed's brother and he got ahold of the lyrics to the song.
    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.

    the song is obviously from the point of someone being raped by five people.

    I know what you mean about YL, funny thing is, it's a lot easier to understand him in the live versions than the studio one!

    truth be told it's not even YL it's a lot of things I find I know the words better now after hearing the boots then before

    Although there's been a lot of interpretation on the meaning behind "five against one" (with the one that I've heard the most being the band vs. the world, this would also go along with the album title "vs"), my own interpretation of it is more common sense than analytical. "Five against one" is another way of saying "masturbation". He talks about being hurt and how he'd rather be with an animal (once again, this analogy is assuming he's talking about a woman he had a relationship with) than someone like that. You see where the five against one part is coming in now?

    Just giving you guys something else to think about! I'm sure it's not a correct interpretation by any means, but it's always made sense to me!

    i enver ehard the wanking theory. but from what i remember picking up in interviews, it's about rape. 5 guys abducting a girl and raping her. thus "id rather be with an animal"... rapists are lower than animals.

    as to yellow ledbetter... you cant know the lyrics cos there really arent any. thus why it's not on pearljam.com. thus why they're totally different every time you hear it live. etc etc. he just kinda wings it. even in the studio he kinda just improv'd them.
