Eddie Vedder - Naked Eye (live) - 1996-11-05

Eddie Vedder and The Fastbacks play "Naked Eye" by The Who, November 5, 1996.

Lyrics:

Take a little dope
And walk out in the air
The stars are all connected to the brain.
Find me a woman and lay down on the ground,
Her pleasure comes falling down like rain,
Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly,
Oh now I'm really in control,
It all looks fine to the naked eye,
But it don't really happen that way at all,
Don't happen that way at all.

You sign your own name and I sign mine,
They're both the same but we still get separate rooms,
You can cover up your guts but when you cover up your nuts,
You're admitting that there must be something wrong,
Press any button and milk and honey flows,
The world begins behind your neighbor's wall,
It all looks fine to the naked eye,
But it don't really happen that way at all,
Nah nah no, don't happen that way at all.

You hold the gun and I hold the wound,
And we stand looking in each other's eyes,
Both think we know what's right,
Both know we know what's wrong,
We tell ourselves so many many many lies,
We're not pawns in any game, we're not tools of bigger men,
There's only one who can really move us all,
It all looks fine to the naked eye,
But it don't really happen that way at all.

Love Eddie's response to the drunken a-hole we've all had shouting 'FREEBIRD!!!' from the bar. Would've loved to have been in the audience that day even just for the chance to snatch the guy's monster truck keys and make out with his girlfriend.

The guy in the audience says "Fuck you". Eddie says "yeah fuck you too"

@ShellRobBenSmith They are pretty highly rated, with a massive dedicated fan base and on very, very good terms with fellow musicians ... I don't think they can possibly called underrated... Eddie Vedder could walk on stage and fart into the microphone and people would probably still cheer, lol.

if you heard this back in the day on five horizons as song X, thumbs up.

[kornfan95336]

Yeah fuck you too, you don't have to be here. I think, we should tell that to every person who hates on any video. Or dis likes one.

[GreenDaveDefoeSt]

weak

[ShellRobBenSmith]

Pearl Jam is the most under-

rated band in the world. They are musicians unlike any others today.

[SummerDrive]

I wish someone had the live video to this performance. Good for EV for shutting up that rude guys!
