Soundgarden - Spoonman Lyrics






Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me

All my friends are Indians
All my friends are brown and red, spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones, spoonman

Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman

Thank you, good night people

    in the late 1990s, the radio station reported a male that ran his car something like 130 mph, this was around 3 or 4am man. and when the cops showed up, the song Spoon man was still playing on his car radio 102.9 The Buzz. Hell Yeah Man ~!~~~~~

  24. R.... B....

    Notice how Chris was addicted to heroin and he wrote a song about a busker he grew up watching play guitar on side the road but the song sounds as if someone is doing heroin lol but it's about a guitarist he grew up watching as a kid that would tape spoons to his fingers and play the guitar. Lol these lyrics are witty. Lol

  25. R.... ....

    Löffelmann!

  26. d.... ....

    now were takin

  27. D.... E....

    My dad has a friend named Frankie Shanklin and he reminds me of spoonman

  28. S.... P....

    Today i remembered this song... intresting song

  29. A.... J....

    Chris Cornell is the Spoonman

  30. E.... G....

    Long Live Chris Cornell✊2020

  31. B.... I....

    miss these guys....RIP Chris

  32. E.... 1....

    Never forgotten Chris Cornell

  33. D.... V....

    The last great age of music was from 1990-2010. Grunge rock was going strong - soundgarden, nirvana, alice, pearl jam. Punk and metal were still great. Radiohead did the art rock stuff. Even pop and rap were much better. The last 10 years have been a wasteland for the music industry.

  34. B.... K....

    We heard that song last week in a big maintenance hangar in Berlin / Brandenburg SXF while cleaning the left engine after checking the fan blades of a CFM engine on an A 330-300 from Lufthansa. ( D - AIKB ). So loud. So great. The right music for this work.

  35. A.... J....

    But what if you like *Sporks?*

  36. a.... r....

    *SPONEMAYN*

  37. K.... b....

    The story behind spoonman is really interesting..
    Rest easy Chris... No one sings like you anymore..

    K.... b....

    Yes it was a busker who would tape spoons to his fingers and play the guitar lol spoonman inspired Chris Cornell as a kid so he made a song about him.

    K.... b....

    "feel the Rhythm with your hands, feel the rhythm while you can"

    Lol he seriously wrote a song about a guitarist and made it sound as if he was talking about heroin lol

    K.... b....

    @Ronnie Boyd

    Spoonman is deeper than that.

    K.... b....

    @Kenny boy yeah it is a deep song tbh

    K.... b....

    tough to compare to Chris Cornell but Ritchie Kotzen is close

  38. A.... H....

    i never thought I'd like a song about spoons... wow how things have changed

  39. B.... B....

    No don't have any change and get those damm spoons out of my face!!

  40. s.... f....

    Guitar solo or scream solo????????

  41. A.... ....

    Is that you Maynard?

  42. B.... T....

    If you’re a real fan you know this came from the poncier demo tape

  43. d.... g....

    I think of Chris often .. I understand his pian .. But, If one person in the world loves you.. You don't do it.. You don't do it because of them..

  44. W.... R....

    Come on I got to get off!

  61. G.... T....

    music just blows anymore. especially compared to stuff like this. it pisses me off that i never got to see them in person. now its to late.

    G.... T....

    I truly don't understand narrow minded people like yourself... there is plenty of good music done these days and beyond, but I guess it's hard to understand that when you have your head stuck into a garbage sand pile labelled '90's', ye?

  62. S.... ....

    how nice of them to write a song about me

  63. C.... S....

    Who all believe that they should be in the Hall of Fame? Vote right here with your like. 🤙

    C.... S....

    Aw, give us your top ten Soundgarded songs... so we can evaluate your HoF plea....

    @DrunkardCow 1. Zero Chance

    Now go fuck yourself, DON'T YOU EVER COME AT ME LIKE THAT AGAIN, AND INSULT MY KNOWLEDGE OF A BAND I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO MY WHOLE LIFE, RACIST SON OF A BITCH!

    C.... S....

    Great band but they weren't that influential. I think Soundgarden and audioslave should but they didn't really have major influence on Rock music. Grunge wasn't even around long enough to to become that influential in the mainstream.


    Seriously, by the mid 90s pop punk was becoming popular lol

  64. t.... B....

    Awesomeness

  65. C.... C....

    Guess what





    My mom use to play this to me in the car

    SPOONMAN save us!

  70. G.... W....

    RIP Chris!

  71. K.... H....

    I would seriously love to know who the guy is playing the spoons, what a rhythm he did with them. Love this song, even though 3.6K actually dislike it. At least 101K people do.

    K.... H....

    The guy playing the spoons is the spoon man. He's a homeless guy Who played on the streets they met and they wrote the song with him and had him play with them to help him get some money

  72. A.... ....

    LUUUUBE MANNNNN LUBE YOURSELF WITH YOUR HANDS!

    Watchmen viewers want more Lube Man...

  81. J.... S....

    Or is it shwaun? }:‑)

  82. a.... l....

    I heard there spoon player broke off from the band after this song cuz he felt like they were holding him back...way to go Yoko. He was the heart and soul of this band!!!MORE COWBELL!
