Can someone please post the correct lyrics for I Got Id/I Got Shit?
Or is there a website with the right Pearl Jam lyrics for their songs?
Thanks, I'm coming up with NOTHING!

    I Got ID

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

    And I fight back in my mind
    Never lets me be right
    I got memories I got shit
    So don't you go show
    Oh I walked the line when you held me in that night
    I walked the line when you held my hand that night

    An 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 and your lookin' at me

    And I stayed in bed
    Oh in a little while I'll see you
    If just once I could feel love
    Oh I'd say it like I mean it
    But I walked the line when you held me in that night
    Oh I walked the line when you held my hand that night
    Oh I walked the line when you held me close that night
    I paid the price never held you in real life
    My lips are shakin'
    If I had known then what I know now...

  • My lips are shaking my nails are bit off.
    Been a month since I've heard myself talk.
    All the advantage this life's got on me.
    Picture a coffin in the middle of the sea.

    And I fight back in my mind. Never lets me be right.
    I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show.

    Oh, I walked alive when you held me in that night.
    I walked alive when you held my hand that night.

    An empty shell seems 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 and you're looking at me.

    And I stay in bed. Oh, little ive seen there.
    If just once I could feel loved, oh, Stare back at me . Yeah.

    But I walked alive when you held me in that night.
    Oh, I walked alive when you held my hand that night.
    Oh, I walked alive when you held me close that night.
    I paid the price. Never held you in real life.
    My lips are shaking...

  • I will concede to cup. But I'm holding my ground on this line: "If just once I could feel loved, oh, Stare back at me . Yeah."

    It's actually "I walked in light", not I walked the line. Just wanted to clarify. :)

    I agree on the walked in light part- had a similar argument about walked in light vs. walked in line with someone but had a very hard time finding anything to back that up? Is it posted anywhere?

    I've seen the original hand-written lyrics, which was good enough for me. :lol:


    And yes....it's cup.....not coffin.

    No Idea of the Lyrics!!!...Just a GOOD song is all I know...haha :P
  • If just once I could feel love, oh stare back at me

    99.9% sure, it makes more sense.

    picture a cup
    walk the line
    feel love

    many, many listenings with headphones....a song I have lived.

    Peace.

    not sure about this. i'm hearing something like this, especially live:

    and i stare you back
    oh what a blue-eyed (or sometimes he's said "green") scene, yeah
    if just once, i could feel love
    oh stare back at me, yeah


    gun to my head, this is probably my favorite song.. and it annoys me that i still don't know the words.. ;)
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

    This song was on replay about 599 times when I was doing a stand up tour from Ohio to Seattle-- I just LOVE this song... (yes it's cup.. unless you hear it cut, like I did 30 times)
    When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

    I always thought it was walk the line, maybe because of the Johnny Cash song, but I really like walked in light much better!
