Hold On (Lyrics)
Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder/Gossard
Lyrics:
I was drawn...Riding atop a black horse.
Whatever prize there was,...
I could only observe...
Where the trouble starts.
Where does it end?
How can I be cured?
How, before it ends?
I know... life would be different if I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something if I... held on.
Gave her life away,...
Put it in my pocket when it shoulda been framed.
Oh, I lost its shine.
Gotta get this outta my head,...
Out of my bed!
How could it end,...
End like this?
How could it end?
I know... life would be different had I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something had I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something if I... held on! Held on.
I know... life would be different if I... held on! Held on!
Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on.

Someone should fix this up... none of these performances are the Lost Dog "Hold On", which unfortunately is yet to be played.
The 1994 performance is an improv and the others are the Tom Waits song of the same name played as Daughter tags...
are the lyrics even accurate? i always thought it was "gave her LOVE away" ... anyway, i've noticed a lot of lyrical errors on this site
oh and "out of my bed"??? shouldn't it be "brain"? is eddie typing these pages ;) j/k
thats not true.... the philly show on oct.30th... which i attended was most certainly HOLD ON...from LOST DOGS... and as far as i know, that was the first time it was played live... it was truly amazing to hear it, because i didn't think i ever would... but now that its been done, i'm thinking we may get to hear it again....

The post in which Ridley said that lost dog's Hold On was never played was true at the time he posted it.... He posted that before the Spectrum show happen which was the 1st time that Lost Dogs' "Hold On" was ever played live.
Either way someone needs to fix this up between the Tom Waits song of the same name that was getting played as a Daughter tag.
Oh man I hope they decide to break this out again for one of the MSG shows..Flying up from FL, hoping to hear a not so standard setlist, this would compliment the trip so much!
I wish someone would clean this page up. The song list is riddled with mistakes like this and lyrical errors. Its like they copied the lyrics off some fan site a long time ago.
This song made Philly 3 far and away the greatest Pearl Jam concert of All Time
:)
Hearing it on the Philly box set that was played on my B-day 2 years ago is awesome. Glad to have the one & only live version of it (maybe 2 times, with addition of New Zealand?...not sure what version that is).
Must disagree with it being the "G.O.A.T" PJ show tho... I'm sure it was amazing but couldn't top the Halloween night triple-disc that happened after, nor Gorge 2006, particularly 7/22. Hearing Bugs on 10/31/09 would top this, IMO. Sweet show, nonetheless.
