Oh tonight began with anything
Shaft of a light a warm breath and a scream
Ah yeah
Oh tamper if you like between the doors

Anything more
Oh reach the door a breath and a
Oh reach the door
And a la la la la yeah
Life ain't what it's worth
A breath and a oh reach the door
All these reaching hands out grabbing things
Grabbing me
Day in day out accumulating ah yeah

Come here it comes there it goes when it comes
Where it goes where it comes
Can't see through the faith woah
Ooh come here it comes there it goes
Grasp what you can
Don't you know there's something inside your head yeah
Oh if I knew where it was I would take you there
But there's much more than this

State Of Love And Trust
From: Singles
Time: 3:47
Vedder, McCready, Ament
Oh
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches but to have an empty court uh huh
And the signs are passin' grip the wheel can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands hands yeah
And I listen for the voice inside my head nothin' I'll do this one myself
Lay her down as priest does should the Lord be a countin'
Will be in my honor make it pain painfully quick uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end end yeah
And the barrel shakes aimed a-directly at my head
Oh help me help me from myself
And I listen from both sides of a friend nothin'
I'll do this one myself
Uh huh huh oh myself myself
Yeah yeah
Hey na na na na hey that's something (x3)
Wanna back back it away yeah huh uh
And I listen oh for the voice inside my head
Nothin' I'll do this one myself
Oh ah and the barrel waits trigger shakes aimed right at my head
Won't you help me help me from myself oh
Ohh hey oh hey oh...hey oh hey oh hey oh...yea woh woh
Hmm State of love and trust and a
State of love and trust and a (x2)
State of love and yeah...woh woh woh

Crazy Mary
From: Sweet Relief
Time: 5:37
Williams
She lived on the curve in the road in an old tar paper shack
On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say
Mama can we stop and give her a ride
Sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed crazy Mary
Down a long dirt road past the Parson's place
That old blue car we used to race
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G allowed
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle drink it down pass it around
Take a bottle drink it down drink it pass it around pass it a
A-take a bottle drink it down pass it pass it a pass it around
One night thunder cracked mercy backed outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
Terrible thoughts newspaper covered walls and Mary rising up above it all
Oh oh oh
Next morning on the way into town
Saw some skid marks and followed them around
Over the curve through the fields into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway (x2)
Take a bottle drink it down pass it around
Take a bottle drink it down pass it pass it around pass it a
Take a bottle drink it down pass it pass it a pass it around
Oh pass it a...pass it arround...pass it a pass it a pass it a
Oh yea

Gremmie Out Of Control
From: MOM
Time: 2:24
Haskell, Usher
1, 2, 1, 2
1, 2, 1 2 3 4
Every beach has a clown who thinks he knows it all
Hang-ten outta Santa Fe when surf comes out tomorrow lets go
And he's always practicing his cowabunga call
Cowabunga
But the menace scrambles when the big waves start to roll
Wsssshhhh
'Cuse there's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control
Gremmie out of control (x2)
There's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control
The kids all know that a gremmie's talk is cheep
Ride the Hula-Han over the pipeline bonsai to the saddle bowl
Tho they just try to ignore this ugly creep
Cowabunga
His board is always full of dings 'cause he's always doing stupid things
And there's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control
Gremmie out of control (x2)
There's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control
Gremmie out of control (x2)
There's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control (x3)

Not For You [live on radio]
From: Hype
Time: 5:11
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder
Restless soul enjoy your youth like Muhammad hits the truth
Oh can't escape from the common rule if you hate something don't you do it too too
Small my table sits just two got so crowded I can't make room
Oh where did they come from stormed my room and you dare say it belongs to you fuck you
This is not for you (x3)
Oh never was for you you
My friends call me Ed they call me
My friends call me
All that's sacred comes from youth dedication naive and true
With no power nothing to do I still remember why don't you don't you
This is not for you (x3)
Oh never was for you fuck you
This is not for you (x3)
Oh never was for you you

Nothingman
From: Bridge School Benefit
Time: 4:36
Ament, Vedder
Once divided there's nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken can't be taken back
Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
Future's above in the past he's slowly sinking
Caught a bolt of lightning cursed the day he let it go
Nothingman (x2)
Isn't it something Nothingman
She once believed in every story he had to tell
One day she stiffened took the other side
Empty stares from across a crouded room
One just escapes one's left inside the well
And he who forgets will be destined to remember yea yea oh
Nothingman (x2)
Isn't it something Nothingman
Oh she don't want him
No she won't feed him after he's flown away
Oh into the sun yea into the sun
Burn oh burn
Nothingman (x2)
Isn't it something Nothingman
Nothingman (x2)
Coulda' been something Nothingman yea ohh

Hard To Imagine
From: Chicago Cab Soundtrack
Time: 4:32
Gossard, Vedder
Paint a picture forty shades of gray
Light your pillow lay back watch the flames
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long
It's hard to imagine it's hard to imagine
Ohh (x4)
Fuck tradition no one's safe from harm
Wait a living cup and curse these arms
After having seen all that they saw
It's hard to imagine it's hard to imagine
Ohh (x4)
Things were different then all is different now
I tried to explain somehow
Things were different then all is different now
I tried to explain somehow
Ohh (x4)
Things were different then all is different now
I tried to explain I hope this works somehow
Things were different then all is different now
I tried to explain oh somehow
Ohh (x4)
