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
She 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
And dreams like this must die
And dreams like this must
You ever heard the story of Mr.Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
Been talkin' to my alter
Say 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, child
I want to tell her that I love you
But does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down Again
Again
My baby again, oh, yeah
So I'm singing
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and leaves me alone
Yes it does
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind that leaves me alone
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, oh yeah
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind the leaves me alone
Yes, it does
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that, it's the kind that
It leaves me alone, yeah
Like a crown of thorns
It's all who you know, yeah
So don't burn your bridges woman
'Cause someday, yeah
Kick it, oh yeah
And this is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone, yeah
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that, it's the kind that, yeah, yeah

This is a beautiful song. It's so well-done. To me, I've always interpreted this song as being the story of a man who has broken up with somebody he really loved, but is trying to move on. (hence: "This is my kinda love/It's the kind that moves on/It's the kind that leaves me alone"). The line "don't burn your bridges woman", implies he's not fully over her.. but he understands. He wants her to realize he'll still be there for her, kind of thing.
I think this song is about Andy's use of heroin:
This is my kinda love It's the kind that moves on It's unkind and leaves me alone Yes it does
Andy was Mr. Faded Glory and he rode his pony all way to his early grave.
didnt Pearl Jam cover this once
Pearl Jam covers this song all the time.
figures, considering that MLB is basically PJ with a different lead singer. They're both some of the greatest bands of all time.
yeah just take MLB, get rid of Andy (rest his sole) and the drummer, and add in Mike McCready, Ed Vedder, and Jack Irons, then take away Jack Irons, add 3 more drummers, (all at separate times) take the 3 away, and then add Matt Cameron. then you have Pearl Jam
Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam have basically the same structure. I like Eddie's voice better, but Andrew's style was certainly much more appealing. Much uniqueness in it.
They are very different vocalist, andrew wood more a glam rock song singer. Vedder is very different, he's is more a grunge style singer if you ask me.
I Agree MLB wasn't completely grunge, they were more like Aerosmith with grunge-like music. They still rock none-the-less
I think this song is about a lost love that he said goodbye to because of his lifestyle. Basicly he's saying he can't be with a woman for long because he screws up everytime and breaks up. The line " so don't burn your bridges woman" means the heroin possibility is out the door. I think that lines is him saying "don't settle down with me in your mind and let go other people over me, since i won't be around for long." Beautiful song by the way, i do prefer the PJ version.
