before any big event in my life . . . i have to listen to corduroy. whether it was a final in college, a job interview, or getting ready for my wedding, i have to hear that slow build up capped off with "the waiting drove me mad, you're finally here and i'm a mess . . ." for me, that song is all about stepping up to the plate.

    After waiting 16 years to see Pearl Jam. It took me to move from South Africa to the UK. I got to watch them at Reading Fest and Corduroy was there first song!

    " The waiting drove me mad, You're finely here, and I'm a mess"

    What line!!

    Cool song, great to play on the guitar too! ;)

    Cheers

    "I take your entrance back...cant let you roam inside my head"

    That line always makes me ponder.....make your own decisions......don't let others control you no matter who they are.

    Isn't it ''I take your riches back...can't let you roam inside my head" ?

    "I take your entrance back...can't let you roam inside my head" is what I have always known it to be. I checked the music section here and it confirmed my thoughts.

    I got my lyric from songmeanings.net :?
    But to me it sounds more like entrance than riches.
