Favorite Lyrics – The Fixer

This song is a little heavy on the ‘yeah’s, but they are fun to sing (read: scream) along to when you’re listening, so I left them in this lyrics transcription. They really help to set the mood of the tune. Plus, that’s just the way Eddie Vedder sings a lot of his upbeat tunes, and Pearl Jam’s “The Fixer” is no exception.
I can really relate to this song. I love to help. I love to cheer people up. I love to try to fix things when they’re not right. But mostly, I love…

yeah, hey, hey
When something’s dark, let me shed a little light on it
When something’s cold, let me put a little fire on it
If something’s old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When something’s gone, I wanna fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When something’s broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin’ on it
When something’s bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If something’s low, I wanna put a little high on it
When something’s lost, I wanna fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If there’s no love, I wanna try to love again
I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I’ll find us a way to make light
I’ll dig your grave, we’ll dance and sing
What’s saved could be one last lifetime
hey, hey, hey
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
