Wishlist

I really, really like Pearl Jam. Their old stuff mainly. I stumbled upon this song in my play list today and wanted to share with all of you. I'm also including the lyrics below, though they are really pretty straight forward and easy to understand.

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...

My favorites are the "pedal brake that you depended on" and the "full moon shining off a Camaro's hood". I would also wish for Eddie's good looks and incredible talent, or at least 1/10th of it because he is incredible.

What is on your wish list?
