Swallow My PridePearl Jam

She looked at me with dignity said
"there's one thing you gotta see if you know we're headed for war
This country's prouder than ever before
Yes there's a spirit in the air, we're more american than anywhere"
Well i just smiled cuz i could tell this little girl's going to hell
Now i wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride
Would make me feel alright, deep inside, feel alright
All the warmth in her heart can't keep my blood from running cold
Keep my blood from running cold
First i fell for her looks, now i just wanna go for the throat
I tried to tell her a hundred times, this little girl didn't understand at all
Pride comes before a fall
Now i wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright, deep inside, feel alright
This ain't the garden of eden
This ain't the summer of love
Things ain't what they used to be
There ain't no angels above
Ain't the garden of eden
Ain't no angels above
Things ain't what they used to be
This ain't, this ain't the summer...of love

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.
