Crown of Thorns Lyrics
You ever heard the story
Of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
I been talkin' to my alter
Says life is what you make it
And if you make it death well then rest
Your soul away
Away away yeah
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 you that I love you
But does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down.
Again, again, again.
So I'm singing
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves you alone
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind and leaves me alone
I used to treat you like a lady
Now you're a substitute teacher
This bottle's not a prayer, not a prayer in sight
I owe the man some money
So I'm turnin over honey
Oh Mr. Faded Glory is once again doin' time.
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone
This is my kinda love
It's a crown of thorns
It's the kind that
It's the kind that leaves me alone
Like a crown of thorns
It's all who you know.
So don't burn your bridges cause
Someday, yeah
Start singing
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone
This is my kinda love
It's a crown of thorns
It's the kind that leaves me alone
Of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
I been talkin' to my alter
Says life is what you make it
And if you make it death well then rest
Your soul away
Away away yeah
She'd have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon's a comin'
Better say your prayers
I wanna tell you that I love you
But does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down.
Again, again, again.
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves you alone
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind and leaves me alone
Now you're a substitute teacher
This bottle's not a prayer, not a prayer in sight
I owe the man some money
So I'm turnin over honey
Oh Mr. Faded Glory is once again doin' time.
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone
This is my kinda love
It's a crown of thorns
It's the kind that
It's the kind that leaves me alone
Like a crown of thorns
It's all who you know.
So don't burn your bridges cause
Someday, yeah
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone
This is my kinda love
It's a crown of thorns
It's the kind that leaves me alone

andy's death is both a good thing and a bad thing...before you kill me for saying its a good thing just hear me out. its a bad thing cause first of all death is a bad and sad thing. also its bad cause MLB is, or, was a kick ass band...but if andy didnt die...we would have no pearl jam. no betterman no nothing man, no even flow, no nothing that even resembles pearl jam except for the members. but who knows maybe MLB would of turned out to be a better band than pearl jam
Even if wood dint die i'm sure eddie would of had a band probly based back in LA were he came from

MLB would have far succeeded Pearl Jam, Andy dying was a tremendous blow for the Seattle music scene and people from here still miss him

ahat1321, you're the idiot... At least grungekid is actually using this site properly... And this song is actually by Mother Love Bone but Pearl Jam cover it a lot, of course, coz it's an awesome song but better with the Chloe Dancer bit at the beginning... Go kill a cat ahat1321...
This song's by Mother Love Bone. Not Pearl Jam.
Tis true but PJ does cover this song
the cover is probably a result of the connection from mother love bone to pearl jam (and temple of the Dog) all great music to look into
Pearl Jam IS Mother Love Bone, minus Andrew Wood... more of a transformation than a connection, in my opinion.
we will never now how big this song would have been if andy didnt die. But to me its proof that he (or MLB) had a lot of potential as a songwriter.
ill say it, im happy andrew wood died, as insensitive as it sounds, i like mlb but eddie is my idol and he could still be pumping gas if andy didnt die
Your dumb as shit. Andy was the man and although Pearl Jam may be good, eddie should still be pumping gas...... Andy wasn't an arrogant prick

there's no way mother love bone would have been better than pearl jam, that being said, if he didn't die, who knows, maybe mike mcready and eddie form kickass bands of their own. I mean, mcready's side project Mad Season was unbelievable and that was just a side project. Furthermore, MLB wouldn't have lasted very long probably anyway, which would have allowed stone and jeff to do other things which could have been great as well
Your frickin high if you really believe what you are saying.....

I always took the song to mean a guy who has a fast life style and because of it has to go to jail and thus has to end it with chloe. He loves her but feels uncomfortable in committed relationships so he's cool with the whole thing.
