Originally known as " Mookie Blaylock," Pearl Jam is a Seattle, WA based rock band, considered to be one of the most popular and influential groups of the 1990s. Along with Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden(often cited collectively as the "big four of grunge" as well as "The Seattle Four"), Pearl Jam helped popularize the grunge movement of the early 1990s. Moreover, they are also the only mainstream grunge band that has remained active since the dissolution of their contemporaries. The band was formed primarily by former members of Mother Love Bonefollowing the death of that band's lead singer Andrew Wood. Based on the recommendation of former Red Hot Chili Peppers(and future Pearl Jam) drummer Jack Irons, Eddie Vedder came to record a demo for guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament and eventually relocated from San Diego to join the band in Seattle.

Corduroy Lyrics
Pearl Jam
The waiting drove me mad...youre finally here and Im a mess
I take your entrance back...cant let you roam inside my head
I dont want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your bread...
I would rather run but I cant walk...
Guess Ill lie alone just like before...
Ill take the firmest path...oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist...this behaviors not unique
I dont want to hear from those who know...
They can buy, but cant put on my clothes...
I dont want to limp for them to walk...
Never would have known of me before...
I dont want to be held in your debt...
And Ill pay it off in blood, let I be wed...
And Im already cut up and half dead...
Ill end up alone like I began...
Everything has changed, absolutely nothings changed
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture
I dont want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your breast...
All the things that others want for me...
Cant buy what I want because its free... (2x)
Cant be what you want because im...
I aint sposed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure Ill be damned, all alone like I began...
Its your move now...
I thought you were a friend, but I guess i, I guess I hate you...
