Pearl Jam - Mind Your Manners

First ever live performance:


What a great week to be a Pearl Jam fan!  First came the announcement of their much anticipated fall tour. Now the release of the new single, Mind Your Manners, off of the the soon to be released (October 15, 2013) new album, Lightning Bolt.  To say nothing of the two shows happening next week in London, Ontario and Chicago.

Mind Your Manners, in my opinion, is a departure from Backspacer and a return to band's early 90's hard rocking roots.  I can't help but picture a young Eddie, with 3 foot long hair, head banging around a stage in his cargo shorts and combat boots.  This song makes you want to get up and move!

Lyrics:

I got an unfortunate feeling
I been beaten down
I feel that I'm done believing
Now the truth is coming out

What they're taking is
More than a vow
They're taking young innocents
And then they throw em on a burning pile
Ah ah ay ay

And all along they're saying
"Mind your manners!"

I caught myself believing
That I needed God
And if it's out there somewhere
We sure could use hymn now

Try my patience!
My patience tried
This world's a long love letter
That makes me want to cry
Ah ah ay ay

And all along they're saying
"Mind your manners!"
That's all they're saying

Self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve our mystery

Right round the corner
Could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else

And all along they're saying
"Mind your manners!"
Always praying

Go to heaven
That's swell
How you like your living in Hell?

Go to Heaven
That's swell
How you like your living Hell?
