1/2 Full Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Ament/Vedder Climbing on a mountain Floating out on the sea Far from lights of a city The elements they speak to me... Whispering that life Existed long before greed... Balancing the world On its knee... Don't see some men as half empty See them half full of shit Thinking that we're all but slaves There ain't gonna be No middle anymore It's been said before The haves be having more Yet still bored Won't someone save? Won't someone save The world? Riot Act PEARL JAM SONGBOOK

Alone Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Vedder/McCready/Gossard/Ament/Abbruzzese Mmm, Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone Ever before. Had a woman long as he can remember. His to forget But he can't, he can't. Out of bed and he dreams in the shower. She's standing naked, He's apologizing. Reaches for her and the water turns red. Got woken up to be Burned, burned again. Go it alone. You got it, so it goes. Got his knees to his face, she can't take it any other way. On the street he's walking wounded. Doesn't smile for the child at play. Thoughts of suicide and alleviation. Anything to get his heart off of Nicole. Go it alone. You got it so it goes. Got his knees to his face...he can't take it for another day. Yeah, yeah. Wide awake and he shakes in a panic. Never woke up alone Ever before. Had his woman long as he can remember. Tries to forget, but he can't... he can't.... Lost Dogs PEARL JAM SONGBOOK
Amongst The Waves Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Pearl Jam What used to be a house of cards Has turned into a reservoir Saved the tears that were waterfalling Let’s go swim tonight, darling & Once outside the undertow Just you & me & nothing more If not for love I would be drowning I’ve seen it work both ways, but I am up Riding high amongst the waves I can feel Like I Have a soul that has been saved I can feel like I Put away my early grave Gotta say it now Better loud Than too late Remember back the early days When you were young & thus amazed Suddenly the channel changed The first time you saw blood Cut to later, now you’re strong You’ve bled yourself, the wounds are gone It’s rare then where is nothing wrong Survived & you’re amongst the fittest Love ain’t love until you give it up Riding hi amongst the waves I can feel like I Have a soul that has been saved I can see the light Coming through the clouds in rays Gotta say it now Better loud than too late

Army Reserve Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Vedder/D. Echols How long must she stand Before the ground, it gives way To an endless fall She can feel this War on her face Stars on her pillow Folding in darkness Begging for slumber I'm not blind I can see it coming Looks like lightning In my child's eye I'm not frantic I can feel it coming Violently shakes My body Her son's slanted Always giving her The sideways eye An empty chair where dad sits How loud can silence get? And mom, she reassures To contain him But it's becoming a lie She tells herself And everyone else Father is risking His life for our freedoms I'm not blind I can see it coming Looks like lightning In my childs eye I'm not frantic I can feel it coming Darling you'll save me If you save yourself Pearl Jam PEARL JAM SONGBOOK

Please forgive and let me share... With... you... around the bend You're an angel when you sleep How I want your soul to keep On and on around the bend No Code PEARL JAM SONGBOOK
Bee Girl Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Ament/Vedder Bee girl, you're gonna die. You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy. Do your dances alone in your room. Becoming a star will become your doom. Bee Girl, be a girl. Bee Girl, be a girl. You know time is long, and life is short. Begin to live while you still can. Believe in nothing, believe me, Those who can be trusted can change their mind. When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time. Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind. Bee Girl, be a girl. Bee Girl, be a girl. Lost Dogs

Can't find a better man Can't find a better man Ohh... Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know... She tells herself, oh... Memories back when she was bold and strong And waiting for the world to come along... Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man... She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man... She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man... She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man... Can't find a better man Can't find a better man She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way She needs him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again Can't find a better man (can't find a better man) Can't find a better man (can't find a better man) Can't find a better man (can't find a better man) Can't find a better...man...

Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything... I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah... Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

Force of Nature Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Pearl Jam Understand she’s a force of nature Contraband hiding deep inside her soul Exorcising her will to lose control She lets go A common man, he don’t stand a chance, no Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole No way to save someone who won't take the rope And just let’s go One man stands the edge of the ocean A beacon on dry land Eyes upon the horizon In the dark before the dawn Hurricane has the trade winds blowing A gale force shaking windows in the storm Shipwreck on the rock that he calls home With one light on Somewhere there’s a siren singing A song only he hears All the strength that you might think Would disappear,.. Resolving One man stands alone, Awaiting For her to come home Eyes upon the horizon In dark before the darkness meets the dawn. Makes me ache,... Makes me shake,... Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe? Last I saw, he was out there waiting A silhouette in the black light, full moon glow In the sand there he stands upon the shore Forevermore Somewhere there’s a siren singing A song only he hears All the strength that you might think Would disappear, resolving One man stands along, Awaiting For her to come home Eyes are closed,.. You cannot know But his heart don’t seem to roam.

Checked your hands and studied the lines Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?

To get by...it's divine...whoa... Oh, you know what it's like... Turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line... Puts his faith in love and tremor christ... Vitalogy PEARL JAM SONGBOOK

PEARL JAM SONGBOOKUndone Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Vedder Last stop on the west coast line South of the northern border One small corner on my mind Everybody, they know me there Don't get any second glances Chances are that they don't care The world has come undone Like to change it everyday Change don't come at once It's a wave... building before it breaks Can't wait for election day Witness the occupation Corporations rule the day Well you know the pendulum throws Farther out to the one side, swinging Has to sweep back the other way The world has come undone Another day and who can wait Change don't come at once It's a wave building before it breaks All this hope and nowhere to go This is how I used to feel, but no more The world has come undone Like a game that few can play Change don't come from one It's a wave... building before it breaks Lost Dogs
PEARL JAM SONGBOOKUnemployable Artist: Pearl Jam He's got a big gold ring what says \\"Jesus Saves\\" And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day When he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things After the big boss said, \\"You best be on your way\\" Oh yeh So this life is sacrifice Oh yeh Jumping trains just to survive Well, his wife and kid are sleeping but he's still awake On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream? Yeh So this life is sacrifice Oh yeh To a stranger's bottom line Yeh I seen the light,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh I's scared alive,... Near to death,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh I seen the light,... Scared alive. Yeh So this life is sacrifice Oh yeh They can't say I never tried Yeh I seen the light,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh I's scared alive,... Near to death,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh I seen the light,... Scared alive,.... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh Near to death. Hear to die. Scared alive.

Unthought Known Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Pearl Jam All the thoughts,... You never see,... You’re always thinking,... Brain is wired,... Brain is deep,... Oh are you sinking?,... Feel the path of every day,... Which road you taking?,... Breathing hard,... & Making hay,... Yeh this is living,... Look for love & evidence,... That you’re worth keeping,... Swallowed whole in negatives,... It's so sad & sickening,... Feel the air up above,... A pool of blue sky,... Fill the air up with love,... Black w/starlight,... Feel the sky blanket you,... w/gems & rhinestones,... See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,... For you to walk on,... Nothing left,... Nothing left,... Nothing there,... Nothing left,... See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,... See the waves on distant shores,... Awaiting your arrival,... Dream the dreams of other men,... You’ll be no ones rival,... Dream the dreams of others then,... You will be no ones rival,... You will be no ones rival,... A distant time,... A distant space,... That’s where we’re living —.. A distant time,... A distant place,... So what you giving?,... What you giving?

Wash Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Vedder/Gossard/Ament/McCready/Krusen Oh please let it rain today. This city's so filthy. Like my mind in ways. Oh it was the time. Like a clean new taste. Smiling eyes before me and tears from my face. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah. Sin for sale. Buying just a need. O who planted all the devils seeds? And what's the truth? And the truth that lies at home. It's on the inside and I can't get it off. Yeah. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah. What's clean is pure. But hey, I'm white on the outside. Though I stray. What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow. Bring it back someway. Bring it back, back, back... to the clean form. To the pure form. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Yeah Wash my ...wash my...wash my love....yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh Lost Dogs
PEARL JAM SONGBOOKWhale Song Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Irons The sun was in clouds. The sun looked out. Exposed a trail of mist and spouts. Ships followed the ancient lead. Deceiving friends under the sea. Wow, imagine that? They won't fight back. I got a theory on that. A whale's heart is as big as a car. A whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark. They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or are too proud. They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or too proud. They swim. It's really free. It's a beautiful thing to see. They sing. Hunters of land. Hunters of sea. Exploit anything for money. I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free. They won't fight back. It's only a thought that makes it seem right. What you don't see is because of your sight. Take what you want. Kill what you can. That's just one way of the mind of man. Take their lives. Sell their parts but there is not taking of their hearts. If I was lost at sea. That harpoon boat in front of me. It's the whale I'd like to be. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They don't know how. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. They won't fight back. Lost Dogs

Who You Are Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Gossard/Irons/Vedder Come to send, not condescend Transcendental consequence Is to transcend where we are Who are we? Who we are Trampled moss on your souls Changes all you're a part Seen it all, not at all Can't defend fucked up man Take me a for a ride before we leave... Circumstance, clapping hands Driving winds, happenstance Off the track, in the mud That's the moss in the aforementioned verse Just a little time, before we leave...

Why Go Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Ament/Vedder She scratches a letter Into a wall, made of stone Maybe someday Another child Won't feel as alone as she does It's been two years And counting Since they put her in this place She's been diagnosed By some stupid fuck And mommy agrees Why go home? Why go home? Why go home... She seems to be stronger But what they want her to be is weak She could just pretend She could join the game, boy She could be another clone Why go home? Why go home? Why go home? Why go home? What you taught me Put me here Don't come visit Mother Why go home? Why go home? Why go home? Why go home? What you taught me Put me here Don't come visit Mother Why go home? (repeat...out) Ten PEARL JAM SONGBOOK

World Wide Suicide Artist: Pearl Jam I felt the earth on Monday. It moved beneath my feet in the form of a morning paper. Laid out for me to see. Saw his face in a corner picture. I recognized the name. Could not stop staring at the. Face I'd never see again. It's a shame to awake in a world of pain What does it mean when a war has taken over It's the same everyday in a hell manmade What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her? The whole world,... world over. It's a worldwide suicide. The whole world,... world over. It's a worldwide suicide. Medals on a wooden mantle. Next to a handsome face. That the president took for granted. Writing checks that others pay. And in all the madness. Thought becomes numb and naive. So much to talk about there's. Nothing for to say. It's the same everyday and the wave won't break Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder Laying claim to the take our soldiers save Does not equate, and the truth's already out there The whole world,... world over. It's a worldwide suicide. The whole world,... world over. It's a worldwide suicide. Looking in the eyes of the fallen You got to know there's another, another, another, another Another way It's a shame to awake in a world of pain What does it mean when a war has taken over It's the same everyday and the wave won't break Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder The whole world,... world over. It's a worldwide suicide.
The whole world,... world over. It's a worldwide suicide. Pearl Jam PEARL JAM SONGBOOK
You Are Artist: Pearl Jam Composer: Vedder/Cameron This broken wheel is coming undone And the roads exploding But you're keeping me strong Rolling along with you,... Love is a tower And you're the key Leading me higher When you let me in Keeping us close,... so close On down the line Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun With no one knowing But you're keeping me strong Rolling along with you You are a tower of Strength to me The darkening hour Sees light again Ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are... you are Love is a tower Of strength to me I am the shoreline But you're the sea You are.
