the best songs ever: the lost years

[gabrielle]

Temple of the Dog was a side project involving members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood, lead singer of Mother Love Bone.  This song and video might be a bit corny, but I still like it and it gives me the nostalgic feels.  This album was released in the spring of 1991, months ahead of either band's breakthrough hit albums, and later became a hit itself.






"Well I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled

Yeah
But it's on the table
The fire's cooking
And they're farming babies
The slaves are all working

Blood is on the table
The mouths are all choking
But I'm goin' hungry"
