Lyrics to "Glass' Theme"

Shattering fast
I'm glass
I'm glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass
I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering
Glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
Got a lot of tears
In a blood stained jar
It's been a real long time
Since I walked the fine line
You put up the walls
You put up the walls
Hold all my calls
Cause I'll be by the pool
Won't you please worship me
Won't you love what I adore
I'm alone in my soul
I betrayed rock 'n' roll
Rock'n'roll
Rock'n'roll
Rock'n'roll
Rock'n'roll
Everybody knows I'm last
I'm last
And everybody knows I'm fast
I'm fast
I'm shattering, shattering glass
Glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass
I'm glass
You put up the walls
Hold all my calls
Cause I'll be by the pool
Playing with my guns
Cause there's nowhere to run
Cause I'm the one you love now
Staying after school
Breaking all your rules
Shattering fast
Shattering glass
Shattering glass
I'm shattering glass


Lyrics to "Behold! The Night Mare"

I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
Appease you
The wind blows and I know

I can't go on, digging roses from you grave
To linger on, beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And whirlpools sleep, you'll find me
The coarse tide reflects sky

And the night mare rides on, and the night mare rides on
With a december black psalm
And the night mare rides on
What i fear is lost here
The wind blows and I know

All you have to do is run away
And steal yourself from me
Become a mystery to gaze into
You're so cruel in all you do
But still I believe, I believe in you

So may you come with your own knives
You'll never take me alive
With all the force of what is true
Is there nothing I can do?

I can't go on, digging roses from you grave
To linger on, beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And whirlpools sleep, you'll find me

And the night mare rides on, and the night mare rides on
With a december black psalm
And the night mare rides on

I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
To hold the flower I can't keep


I think I've made my point.
Yeah, right.

"Shame"

You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna see this through
Don't let them get to you

Sh Sh Sh Sh Shame

Love is good and love is kind
Love is drunk and love is blind
Love is good and love is mine
Love is drunk all the time

Sh Sh Sh Sh Shame

You're gonna walk on home
You're gonna walk alone
You're gonna walk so far
You're gonna wonder who you are

Sh Sh Sh Sh Shame

Love is good and love is kind
Love is good and love is blind
Love is good and love is mine
Love is good all the time

Hello goodbye, you know you made us cry...

"Vanity"

You can hear the baby bones
Cracked beneath her wheels
Tears of Avalon
Streak silent down her shield
High crimes and misdemeanors
Unfortunate attacks
Will leave you standing nameless
While she's turning black
Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Eleanor, you've lost me in a haze
Of wine and cocaine
Gone out and cost me
Everything I blame
Broadcasting in TV detail
To call their own stories
As I try to recapture
The best and former glories
Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die
She swears she'll turn around
Turn around for good
She swears she'll turn around
Turn around for sure
You know you'll run around
Run around for her
You know you want to know
Pure
Ease on that dirt road
You've still a ways to go
Soak in sights and city lights
While you still can borrow
Cursed fall we'll find you
And bring a memory
The ghost of her surrender
And a kiss of anarchy
She's naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die

Yeah...what was your point again?

"Innosence" lyrics

innocence
innocence finds you there
innocence
innocence doesn't care
any way you choose
the sun and the son
are true
hold me now
I won't let go
innocence
innocence lets you go
innocence holds you down
any way
any way that you want
and you will be there
with the sun
and you say you don't care
oh, any way
any way that you want
in the love
in the love we're unsung
it's any way
any way that you want
hold it in
innocence in your arms
innocence
innocence holds you there
innocence
innocence doesn't care
innocence
innocence lets you dream
innocence


"For Martha" lyrics

whenever I run
whenever I run to you lost one
it's never done
just hanging on

just past has let me be
returning as if dream
shattered as belief

if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go don't you cry
if you have to go I will get by
someday I'll follow you and see you on the other side

but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
heaven from above

your picture out of time
left aching in my mind
shadows kept alive

if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go don't you cry
if you have to go I will get by
I will follow you and see you on the other side

but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
heaven from above

long horses we are born
creatures more than torn
mourning our way home


That was my point.

I will admit, Soundgarden's progression into the more mellow sound of DotU was mostly because of Cornell, but DotU was a team effort.
and Cornell wrote everything that the majority of people remember from that album - Pretty Noose, Burden in my Hand, and Blow up the Outside World.

it had pretty much been his show after Superunknown hit and it was pretty apparent regardless of the credits. i call Never the Machine Forever a highlight because it's the ONLY track on the album that actually sounds like Soundgarden. everything else on the album just sounds like it's trying to sound like Soundgarden but forgot how to either turn on the amps or twist the knobs past weak.

as for the reunion - if you guys haven't checked out the Nude Dragons setlist from April...

Spoonman
'Gun
'Searching With My Good Eye Closed
'Rusty Cage
'Beyond The Wheel
'Flower
'Ugly Truth
'Fell On Black Days
'Hunted Down
'Nothing To Say
'Loud Love
'Blow Up The Outside World
'Pretty Noose
'Outshined
'Slaves And Bulldozers

Encore:
'Get On The Snake'
'Big Dumb Sex'
'Waiting For The Sun' (a DOORS cover)

surprising pile of old stuff. the reunion site emailed a HD clip of 'Beyond the Wheel' a while back and they nail it. 9 songs from the 80s. though as far as classic rock covers go, i always liked their take on Communication Breakdown best, though i can see them doing a wicked job on Waiting for the Sun as well.

I don't see how Chris Cornell writing the hits backs up your statement that DotU was practically a Cornell solo album. So what your saying is, songs like Boot Camp, Tighter & Tighter, and Dusty are examples of Soundgarden trying to sound like themselves but failing? Does this hold true to Applebite as well?

Soundgarden's career was one big progression. No two albums sound the same. It was Cornell's show after Superunknown? I don't think so. It was a BAND EFFORT. This isn't Smashing Pumpkins were talking about. Everyone contributed to the overall sound.

That was my point.
Haha we can trade off lyrics until we've exhausted both albums, that still doesn't make you right. Adore had phenomenal songwriting, but there was a reason it didn't sell. It didn't sound like Smashing Pumpkins. It sounded like exactly what it was: Billy Corgan. Jimmy was gone and they had hit a well known low point as a band. Darcy and James barely showed up and according to Billy the only time they had meshed as a band during the whole session was for "Shame".

Machina II, on the other hand, sounded like everything the Pumpkins should have been at the time. They could rock while maintaining that musician's edge. If I had to point to one single sound that I could have hoped they would have held on to for a couple albums, it would be Machina II. Adore definitely proved Billy has incredible songwriting talent, but Machina II showed he could do it within the context he put forth as a band.

Seriously? Audioslave more exciting than Soundgarden? Oh man, no way. What from Soundgarden have you heard?

Little. Black Hole Sun, obviously, and some other stuff from their "A-Sides" compilation.

Audioslave is much more my style.
