MOTHER LOVE BONE "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns"

For you appreciators of early late 80s/early 90s seattle music scene: MOTHER LOVE BONE....I've got this song playing right now on my computer...I haven't heard it in forever...forgot how powerful it is. Didn't the singer get killed or something and then Pearl jam was formed by the remaining members? DOn't know the whole story...but I love this song.

Chloe don't know better
Chloe just like me, only beautiful
A couple of years of difference
But those lessons never learned
Chloe danced the tables in the french quarter
Always been given so I can't always make her laugh
But I'm proud to say
And I won't forget
Time spent laying by her side
Time spent laying by her side
And dreams like this must die

-----
You ever heard the story of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
I been talkin' to my alter
Life is what you make it
And if you make it death well then rest your soul away
Away away yeah child
It's a broken kind of feeling
She'd have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon's a comin' better say your prayers
I wanna tell her that I love her
But does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down
Again

So I'm singing
This is my kinda love It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and leaves me alone
Yes it does

I uses to treat you like a lady
Now you're a substitute teacher
This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight
I owe the man some money so I'm turnin over honey
You see Mr. Faded Glory is once again doin' time

This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and leaves me alone
Yes it does
Like a crown of thorns it's all who you know
So don't burn your bridges woman cause someday, yeah

Kick it!

Baby i said com' on, com' on, com' on, com' on yeah I said baby don't burn your bridges woman
Let the rain come down...17 days....

This is the best song on the "Singles" soundtrack. I bought the Mother Love Bone album after hearing this song, but didn't hear anything as satisfying as "Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns" on it.

Absolutely beautiful song. It's too bad that Andrew Wood died, but then we wouldn't have had Temple Of The Dog or Pearl Jam.
If I want your opinion, I'll beat it outta ya!
