Crown Of ThornsPearl Jam

Songwriter: Bruce Fairweather Greg Gilmore Jeff Ament Stone Gossard Andrew Wood

[Verse 1]
You ever hear the story of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
I've was talking to my alter, says "Life is what you make it
And if you make it death well rest your soul away, away, away
It's a broken kind of feeling, she'll have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon's coming, better say your prayers
I wanna tell you that I love you, but does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down again, again, again

[Chorus]
So I'm singing, this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves you alone, yeah
Oh this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone

[Verse 2]
I used to treat you like a lady, now you're my substitute teacher
This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight
I owe the man some money, so I'm turning over honey
Ah, Mr. Faded Glory is once again doing time, oh yeah

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Like a crown of thorns
It's all who you know
So don't burn your bridges
Cause someday, yeah

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Don't burn your bridges, woman

Pearl Jam

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
