Waiting
On a Sunday afternoon
For what I read between the lines
Your lies
Feelin'
Like a hand in rusted shame
So do you laugh or does it cry
Reply
Leavin'
On a southern train
Only yesterday
You lied
Promises
Of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time
Go by
All of these things you said to me
Breathing
Is the hardest thing to do
With all I've said
And all that's dead for you
You lied
Goodbye
Leavin'
On a southern train
Only yesterday
You lied
Promises
Of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time
Go by
All of these things I said to you

Not an Aerosmith or a Led Zeppelin, but as dedicated, they produced a great number of hits and really did know how to rock and roll. The same can be said of STP. Simple formula, simple songs, great message, and a great funk!  Sorry, I cannot put Aerosmith in the same category as Led Zeppelin. |
| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Nov 24, 2012 - 11:31 Storming out of that sleepy set comes THIS thunderous, cranking number that inspires a Volume Surge and a sit-down to a Salad Bowl...sounds perfect on a cloudy 'nowhere comes to mind' day like today! Jam it, RP! |

| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Aug 22, 2012 - 02:49 My vote is defo with Purple too guys. Been on a bit of a grunge bender lately and this album has featured heavily. |
| Pezz9 | Posted: May 19, 2012 - 10:05 Still cuts through ! |
| jmsmy (Music Town, Klein, Texas) | Posted: Apr 17, 2012 - 16:29 Core was a good record, but it's no PURPLE. |

That was the knock on these guys when they came out during the modern rock push of the early mid 90s. But I always thought these guys were really good at straight forward rock and roll songwriting. Quality stuff! |
| Seahunt (Parent's Basement) | Posted: Jul 08, 2011 - 06:20 Great song. Just learned it on guitar. For those wanting to learn, here is a great lesson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2VRNUDHfR8 |

Too bad he couldn't get out of his own way. I love these guys so much more than the FAR inferior Pearl Jam Tru dat. PJ shows really are each unique experiences, and I NEVER have left feeling like the band didn't put all they had into it. sirdroseph wrote: Truer words never spoken!!!  I like STP, but I like going to 3 PJ shows in a week and hearing 2 1/2 hours worth of great tunes each night with only a few repeats. I also like a band with writing contributions by all five members bringing a wide range of influences. And I like hearing the best lead soloist (McCready), and one of the best drummers (Cameron) of the last twenty years. Plus there are the amazing tunewriters in Gossard and Ament - you can look it up. Oh yeah the best front man of the last twenty years (Vedder). In the post 90's era, no American band can touch PJ. Come to a show someday. |

| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Aug 26, 2010 - 06:05 This song was terribly saturated on commerical radio; blind squirrel occasionally finds the nut! 8!!  |
| BowTieDad (Stockholm, Sweden) | Posted: Jul 25, 2010 - 05:51 yeah! |
| WayUpNorth (Windswept Exile) | Posted: Jun 23, 2010 - 08:55 Just saw them on a VH1 Classic in Concert or some such thing ... excellent. Scott looked great, healthy even, sounded awesome. Even my teenagers were impressed.  |

My apologies for jumping to conclusions.   |

It fits RP's super wide format Agreed on all counts. This is in my my top 10 songs of the decade. And yes - this song certainly belongs on RP. This station plays plenty of 90's grunge rock - Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. Now if Bill and Rebecca start playing Daughtry and Three Doors Down, we might have a problem.... |

| tanyhon (Home) | Posted: Sep 29, 2008 - 18:57 Not bad! I think I remember this one? |
| coloradojohn (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan -- 15 min. west of Shinjuku, center of the freaking Universe) | Posted: Aug 29, 2008 - 05:35 YES! It was summer of '94, in Nanao, Noto-Hanto, and approaching Rosa's 30th Birthday...Yoko was up from Kii, and Dollar Bill had just rolled in from Kobe with some groovy hash, and I HAD THIS TOTALLY CRANKED! and the cicadas had set up a chorus in the bamboo trees behind and the frogs started chanting their own cosmic sutras in the rice-fields across the road in front...and as the sun shone its last rays on the bay, we pulled out the chilled Kirin Ichiban-Shibori and began to chug... Thanks, STP and RP! |
| Yamson (Orange County, CA) | Posted: Jul 28, 2008 - 13:39 Probably my favorite STP song of all time. I have to crank it up whenever I'm driving.  |
| ArbiterOfGoodTaste (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Jul 28, 2008 - 13:39 This song's pretty fun to play on Rock Band. |

It's probably totally illogical, but I've hated them since they first hit the radio back in 199whatever. Can we get a rating below "sucko-barfo"? I want the equivalent of an 11, except at the bottom of the rating scale.
  :puke: I think a -1 is what you're after. |
