Two dozen other dirty lovers
Oh, must be a sucker for it
Cry but I don't need my mother
Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it
Sooner or later, your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later, don't run away, don't let me down
Sooner or later, you'll hit the deck, you'll get found out
Save it for later, don't run away and let me down, you let me down
Run away, run away, let me down
Black air and seven seas, all rotten through
But what can you do?
I don't know how I'm meant to act with all of you lot
Sometimes, I don't try
I just, "Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na"
Sooner or later, your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later, don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later, you'll hit the deck, you'll get found out
Save it for later, don't run away, don't run away and let me down
Run away, run away and let me down
Run away, run away, let me down
Run away, run away
Two dozen other stupid reasons
Why we should suffer for this?
Don't bother trying to explain them
Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it
Sooner or later, your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later, don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later, you'll hit the deck, you'll get found out
Save it for later, don't run away, don't run away and let me down
Run away, run away and let me down
Run away, run away, let me down
Run away, run away, let me down
Run away, don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away
And run away and run away and run away and run away
Why don't you hold me?
Why don't you hold me and kiss me now?
Why don't you just hold me?
Hold me and kiss me now
Run away, run away and let me down
Run away, run away and let me down
Run away, run away and let me down
Run away, run away and let me down

ughh. Yet another cover on the cover station RP!  No one believes in singing their own songs anymore??!!


You've made it clear, over and OVER, that you don't like covers. Fine. Whatever.

But saying it over and over isn't going to make me less inclined to play covers. To me, that would be a bizarrely rigid rule & not one I'll ever consider adopting.

TD/DR:  Cut it out. 
This is so superior to the original song, and the sax solo is just how much d have played it. Absolutely love this version, even though I’ve played the OG version for decades.

Kind of weird, ain't it? 
Holy Fucking Shit... knew it was Vedder right away after the first two words. He has aged like fine wine and grown in some of the most beautiful ways imaginable. In 1993, would have never saw this coming. What a emotional interpretation. Simply glorious! Love his work.
An audacious cover, but I think it's really worked.
I wonder if he got the tuning right.  There's a great story about Pete Townshend and David Gilmour calling Dave Wakeling to ask him what the tuning is on this song.

(The Story)
Nope.

Maybe nobody told him about the "save it fellator" version?

Great cover, I thought it was Peter Gabriel at first
I believe Eddie is a fan of Pete Townshend, who did a similar rendition on his "Deep End Live" LP. Homage. I'm not an EV fan, as a general rule, but this is a decent version.
Yes, very cool cover.
Brilliant used in season 3 of The Bear! 
Very nice cover.
