soon forget

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette.
Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic.
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget.

That's one more time around. The sun is going down.
The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting.
Putting people down. He's pissing. He's living a day he'll soon forget.

Counts his money every morning. The only thing that keeps him horny.
Locked in a giant house that's alarming.
The townsfolk they all laugh.

Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent.
Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get.
And it's fitting. He's barely living a day he'll soon forget.

That's one more time around and there is not a sound.
He's lying dead clutching Benjamins. Never put the money down.
He's stiffening. We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget.


I love this song, what do you guys think a 1 minute 46 second gem. I hope they play it at reading







Let me explain something to you; I am not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

    I still remember the first time I was listening to it. I couldn't believe my ears. I played it like 5 times before I put the entire album on again. Real gem.
    Why do I keep fuckin' up?

    Wow I did the same thing!

    It's one of those songs that just makes you kind of stop and listen to every word.

    I usually end up playing it twice or so each time i listen to Binaural to this day.

    It's a good little song. Nothing great, but the lyrics are clever and it has a pretty good message.

    LOL! Cute puffin. I was kinda expecting something a little more... tie-dyed. I donno. But the puffin works. I look forward to seeing the whole thing.

    And welcome to the board. :)

    Soon Forget is one of my top five PJ songs! Love it! And the one time I heard it live, Eddie totally messed up and had to start over several times...it was so cool to hear him playing the uke! I love these lyrics and I couldn't agree with the message of this song more.
    "Oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself, like you somehow."

    I also listen to it multiple times when I hear it - how funny!

    Eddie dedicated 'soon forget' to Paul Allen at the Rose Garden in Portland in '00. Allen owns the building amongst many other things. That was the last time that Pearl Jam played the Rose Garden, coincidence?
