    You know you've made it when the audience sings the entire first verse and chorus for you.

      Another one of my favorite bands, Blackberry Smoke, is the same way. For a lesser-known band, our mighty and dedicated BBS fans sing all the words for their 2-hour show. The same thing happened at Rush concerts. Rush fans are almost a little too vocal and loud. 30k fans singing Tom Sawyer is damn loud...but fun!!

      @Poisonous Nut Keith Richards says after 1965 the Stones didn't have to work hard because the audience knew all their songs. The only good thing I've ever read about Axl Rose was his desire to tour before an album dropped because he wanted the crowd to have t listen to the songs.

    Thank God for you Eddie Vedder, the only surviving 90’s grunge rock God to still draw breath. Eddie Vedder, you are truly loved. Songs just like this one is absolutely one reason I survived the great disfunction that permeated my early life. This song pretty much parallels my situation at home too. Brutal stepfather festered an already infected & damaged kid. Drugs were the best thing that ever happened to me. And at that time they were, you see they became my defense and coping mechanism. It’s just the damndest thing that a person can already have so many marks against them not even out of the womb. Indifference to a child’s pain and neglect to their needs is deconstruction of the soul, slowly chipping away at the conscience, it’s dimming fire never burning brighter than at its conception.

Forward the clock 5 years 2005, I heard this song again play and to this day I appreciate the song and this band and will never turn back. This brings back soo many memories of those times and now how much I love this song.

    As he opens the door, she rolls over...
    Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
    She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
    She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
    Can't find a better man
    Can't find a better man
    Ohh...
    Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
    She tells herself, oh...
    Memories back when she was bold and strong
    And waiting for the world to come along...
    Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
    She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
    She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
    She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
    She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
    Can't find a better man
    Can't find a better man
    Yeah...
    She loved him, yeah... she don't want to leave this way
    She feeds him, yeah... that's why she'll be back again
    Can't find a better man
    Can't find a better man
