Soundgarden - Pretty Noose Lyrics






I caught the moon today
Pick it up and throw it away, all right
I got the perfect steal
A cleaner love with a dirty feel, all right
Fall out and take the bait
Eat the fruit and kiss the snake goodnight

Common ruse, dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from

Let your motor race
Pick it up and get this mother gone
Out from and far away
The wooden stake
This thing has got me on

Diamond rope silver chain
Pretty noose is pretty pain
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from

Common ruse, dirty face
Pretty nose sells pretty hate
I don't care what you got
I don't care what you need
I don't want anything
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you got me hanging from

    This must have been the family friendly version?
    The version I remember was the cool one.... not the one from censored eyes.

  20. K.... D....

    Matt Cameron was never good for PJ. As much as we want him to fit, his place was always in SG.

  21. j.... d....

    Somehow I accidentally "thumbs-downed" my favorite Soundgarden song, and though I immediately corrected it, I apologise to those who suffered dearly or even had to shake their head in disbelief. I hope we can still be friends <3

    My generation got the shit end of most things, but we got this. I will never say no to hearing this.

    I just recently turned 18 and my mom got me and my dad tickets to see soundgarden at red rocks when i was about 10 and im really glad i got to see them its hard being a kid who likes all these older bands your lucky to see anyone due to all the drugs and shit everyone does its sad but its an amazing experience you get to feel and be part of the music and not just listen to it

  44. R.... S....

    ☄️⚡️😎

  45. A.... C....

    Thank you for super unknown it got me through a few years of hell......just to hear talent like this😇

  46. p.... ....

    Known about this song since it came out.
    I think this is the first time I've listened to it after Chris died.
    Pretty creepy listening to it now, considering how he died. I know its metaphoric, but still.

  47. D.... M....

    Dammit, Chris. I miss you, man.

  48. A.... G....

    I can certainly relate

  49. J.... ....

    Basically, she's got him hanging by the balls. Awesome song about a toxic relationship, with Chris being the victim

  50. J.... C....

    Tampon string

  51. C.... ....

    Always loved Matt’s drumming ... sadly unrecognized.

  68. J.... K....

    what a waste of talent...he did not commit suicide, he was executed in Detroit...

    J.... K....

    Doesn't matter how he died..only how he lived.

    J.... K....

    the big foot in detroit got him ACE

    J.... K....

  72. d.... ....

    Sometimes the volume knob doesn't go up high enough.

  73. R.... ....

    Best anti depressant seeing as my brother hung himself in a hospital. At least I can feel his sorrow thru the pain of Cornell's voice.

  74. D.... O....

    No if you weren't a teenager during these times you missed out on some amazing artist and songs that will live on forever and ever jesus to be 18 again

  75. B.... R....

    CewDorp cor.

  76. H.... G....

    This song name is a little ironic don’t you think?

    H.... G....

    If you actually read the lyrics and comprehend at an "adult" level...you'll realize this song is not ironic as the "noose" is just a metaphor.

  81. T.... c....

    The drums man...the drums.  That tribal beat throughout the song is fuckin epic.

  82. M.... ....

  89. 8.... ....

    3rd cd I ever bought. I was like 14 years old. Soundgarden blew me away when I heard this on the radio the first time. One of my favourite bands growing up. The time signatures on this song are so cool. The drums are really neat. Just an amazing band all around.

  90. e.... ....

    Fucking brilliant music!! Makes me realise how simple rap music is

  91. J.... R....

    No band today will ever sound like this 20 years still as good as it was

    J.... R....

    I agree. Prime Alice In Chains and Soundgarden are untouchable.

  92. L.... P....

    Loved Chris Cornel,He will.be missed.

    L.... P....

    I agree

  93. T.... H....

    Beautiful melody.

  94. W.... ....

  95. Z.... M....

    For me, this is a masterpiece song. Jesus, it's so good.

  96. T.... S....

    Still epic. Chris and Layne were the best, by far. RIP.
