Pearl Jam - "Jeremy"

This one reminds me of the High School fashion shows we used have. The girls wore bikinis and not much else really, and the sets actually featured drinking and smoking. We had a limo and guys riding motorcycles on stage with the girls on back, no helmets of course. My senior year, a guy pretended to be drunk around a bunch of girls for a beach scene, then got in a jeep and drove off with them in it. That year was the end of the fashion shows. We took it a little too far...

Anyway, we played this song during one of the sets. The place was packed and they went crazy when it came on. Our auditorium seated over 2,000 and had a brand new sound system which I was running and it sounded freakin' awesome. The principal came up and told me to turn it down. I did... for a few seconds... Good times...




At home
Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
Dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth
And bit the recessed lady's breast
How could i forget
He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin'
Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day i heard
Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Try to forget this...
Try to erase this...
From the blackboard.
