Crown of Thorns by Mother Love Bone
Posted on November 21, 2011
PJ20 is on Netflix today and I’m listening while coding at work. This was one of my favorite Mother Love Bone songs (the band that later split to become Pearl Jam and Sound Garden). Listen on Spotify as performed by Pearl Jam
You ever hear the story of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
I’ve been talkin’ 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’d have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon’s comin’, better say your prayers
I wanna tell her that I love her, but does it really matter?
I just can’t stand to see you dragging down again, again, again
So I’m singing, oh this is my kinda love
It’s the kind that moves on
It’s some kind that leaves me alone, you know
Oh this is my kinda love
It’s the kind that moves on
It’s the kind that leaves me alone
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 turnin over honey
Yes, Mr. Faded Glory is once again doin’ time, yeah
This is my kinda love
It’s the kind that moves on
It’s the kind that leaves me alone
Now this is my kinda love
It’s the kind that moves on
It’s the kind that, it’s the kind that
Leaves me alone
Like a crown of thorns
It’s all who you know
So don’t burn your bridges, woman
‘Cause someday, yeah
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
This is my kinda love
It’s the kind that moves on
It’s the kind that, kind that leaves me alone
Like a crown of thorns
It’s all who you know
Come on, come on, come on
Don’t burn your bridges, woman
