betterman

eddie vedder'in ilk yazdığı parçadır. en azından kendisi böyle hatırlamaktadır.

"this is a song dedicated to a motherfucker married to my mum" * ile başlayan, üvey babaya ithaf olunmuş bir parçadır.

çok acıdır aslında bu parçayı anlayıpta dinlemek, daha iyi erkeği bulamayacağı için elindekini bir şekilde bırakmak istemeyen kadını anlatır. * zaten parça girişinde öylece kalakalırsınız, götürür başka yerlere, dolandırır, yukarılara çıkarır, aniden indiriverir, ikinci bölümle çoşmak gerekir sanarsınız hayır aslında çoşulmamalıdır. *

en guzel pearl jam sarkilarindan biridir. eddie vedder bu parcayi henuz pearl jam kurulmadan bad radio grubuyla calarken bestelemistir..

1994 cikisli vitalogy albumunden harika bir pearl jam parcasi

Waitin',
watchin' the clock,
it's four o'clock,
it's got to stop,
tell him - take no more,
she practices her speech,
as he opens the door,
she rolls over,
pretends to sleep as he looks her over.
She lies and says she's in love with him.
Can't find a better man.
She dreams in color, she dreams in red.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Ohh...

Talkin' to herself,
there's no one else who needs to know,
she tells herself,
Ohh...

Memories back,
when she was smooth,
and strong,
and waiting,
for the world to come along,
swears she knew it,
and she swears he's cool.
She lies and says she's in love with him.
Can't find a better man.
She dreams in color, she dreams in red.
Can't find a better man.
She lies and says she still loves him.
Can't find a better man.
She dreams in color, she dreams in red.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Yeah...

She loved him, yeah...
She don't want to leave this way.
She feeds him, yeah...
That's why she'll be back again.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Can't find a better...man...
