Waitin', watchin' the clock

Tell him, take no more
She practices her speech, as he opens the door

My favorite Pearl Jam song, even though I only know like 5 or 6 of them. I have to say they are a good band.

So amazing 2 hear a live crowd sing this w Eddie
One of a handful of songs I have boldly attempted to sing kareoke. Countless times while driving over the years. Another indifferent love song and describes the notion of love in non-conventi o n a l ways.

H. Nishiyama is actually Eddie Vedder's real name. Apparently his mom lied *twice* about his real father's identity...
mrazmeritsa
I'd swear Eddie Vedder himself wrote this song. Why does it say H. Nishiyama? #errortotheN t h p o w e r ( ? )
I keep expecting this chick to go all Jeremy on this douche, but it never happens.

jcking2121

This song brings me back to 11th grade.. Good ol' Apple Valley Wrestling.. Miss ya guys!
kyles73
The best thing about this song is hearing the crowd sing it live at one of their shows!
Agreeing with Darren - 'like' is not enough for this song...
Hey Roger!!...li k e that play on words...clev e r man...very funny too...oh yeah, great song!
ddoggz
Wish Pandora also had a "Love it" button. Like is just not strong enough.
I got a basket full of rolls, but can't find the butter man.

searching for perfect dreams in an imperfect world, waking up & just taking what you find to pass the time til time passes me, serendipity.
totally love this song - takes me back a good ways...
Aren't we all better men,eventual l y : )
my boyfriend said this is my theme song lol awwww :(
man, woman, it all applies.
Im a better man.
Imagine the world as one and maybe it would happen

I think the best we could settle for is soundgarden, STP, and PJ together...r e a l l y the only mainstream ones that are still around and intact. Ok, obviously Soundgarden disbanded but you know what I mean.
Imagin goin to a Concert where Alice in chains (with layne) Pearl Jam and Nirvana (with Kurt) ... that would be amazing..
Definitely love this song :>

This is a timeless classic of the rock genre of music. Anyone who "grew-up" in the 1990's has got to view this as one of those songs that "defines an era."

Don't worry Justin. Music can only get better with today's youth spending endless hours not learning real instruments. Instead they play whack-a-mole with a guitar with games like G@ytard Qu3ro and (ock Band.
why can't more music be like this? The crap we have now sucks! How on earth did we go from this to Lady Gaga? Preach on pearl jam..I'm listening
bkwrm84
My favorite song ever. Almost makes me cry sometimes.
