Song lyrics

Send "Jeremy" ringtones to your cell

At home
drawing pictures
of mountain tops
with him on top
lemon yellow sun
arms raised in a V
and the dead lay in pools of maroon below

Daddy didn’t give attention
oh, to the fact
that mommy didn’t care
King Jeremy the wicked
oh ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Clearly i remember
picking on the boy
seemed a harmless little fuck
oh,but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth and
bit the recess ladies breast
how could i forget?

and he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurting
oh dropped wide open
just like the day
oh like the day i heard

Daddy didn’t give affection, no
and the boy was something
that mommy wouldn’t wear
King Jeremy the wicked
oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today...

whoho...X15

Try to forget this
(try)to forget this
(try)erase this
from the black board

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in,spoke in...X2
jeremy spoke in class today

whohoX25

whoa......

whoa.....

whoa.....

i i i i i i i i yeah yeah!

uh huh,X13(lould then fade away)

284 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song it amazing. Does anyone know the whole story behind it? It's really sad. It's a true story about this boy, Jeremy, from Texas shot himself in front of his class one day. It's a really sad story.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is one of the saddest songs i have erver heard. I did my research for this song and found out that before the whole high school shooting spree occured, Pearl Jam made a music video where Jermey actually goes into the school with a gun and the next actual screen is where the teacher drops the eraser. After the school shootings took place, Pearl Jam re-recored the ending part to the music video so that no one was offended. what a great band. -Ilovepearljam! -littlemillie410

7 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal OK I can't take it anymore. Yes this is an excellent song and pearl jam is a great band but how would any of you know??? every bands songs I look at it's only the mainstream radio played songs that anybody wants to discuss. I try to discuss other songs on the CD's that aren't radio played (which are usually better than the rest of the album anyway) but no one EVER says anything about those , there is no one to discuss them with. Wake up people and stop listening to what the radio tells you is the best song on a CD.

38 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Daddy, alot of people do write about radio songs because alot of people have access to them. I try to hit up the less popular songs that I like and I dont get too many posts. So what I'm saying is I understand. However these songs are still good. How can you say that people shouldn't talk about that song, it's amazing. The lyrics are so deep and it's just an awesome song.

12 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal If you watch the video, you can see the kid pull his arm back and raise it a bit, and you know it's the gun. I saw this before the shootings and it was creepy how he put the gunin his mouth and it was like AAAAAAAA! but i feel sorry for the kids who really had to see their classmate shoot himself. PS Vedder is Creeeeeeeepy!

89 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Ohh what a sad song, the way Jeremy goes off. I really like this song. One of their best songs ever, even though, "Off he goes", "Last kiss", "Once", "Black", "Man of the hour", "Even flow" are as awesome, maybe even better. I heard this news a week ago, Pearl Jam are about to split up, Eddie Vedder is making a solo career, that`s both sad and good, he can do it! P.S. Just kidding about the end of Pearl Jam!
