Biography

Green River were formed in Seattle in 1984, taking their name from the area's notorious, then-recent serial killer (who wasn't brought to justice until around two decades later.) Lead vocalist/guitarist [a318766] and guitarist [a112603] had previously played together in the local hardcore bands [a1103880] and [a2139919], while drummer [a483447] came from Spluii Numa and bassist [a377056] from [a279360]. Late in the year, second guitarist [a377057] - Turner's one-time bandmate in the Ducky Boys - came onboard, allowing Arm to concentrate exclusively on singing. Steve Turner left the band after `Come On Down` was released to be replaced by [a483445]. This band also spawned other influential bands. Mark Arm and Steve Turner formed [a83081]. Bruce, Stone, and Jeff went on to join [a261560]. After the death of Andrew Wood, Mother Love Bone's lead singer, Stone and Jeff went on to form [a175395]. Green River reunited in 2008 and has since played several live shows.

LYRICS

She looked at me with dignity, said
"Baby there's one thing you've gotta see
Even though we're headed for war
this nation's prouder than ever before
Yes, there's a sprit in the air
We're more American than anywhere."
Well, I just smiled 'cause I could tell
This little girl's going to hell

All the warmth in her heart can't keep
My blood from running cold
First I fell for her looks
Now I just wanna go for the throat
I tried to tell her a hundred times
This little girl didn't understand at all
Pride comes before a fall

Now I wouldn't mind if you swallow my pride
Make me feel all right, deep inside
Feel all right
Pride comes before a fall

This ain't the summer of love (4x)
I don't know what you're thinking of
This ain't the summer of love

This ain't the garden of Eden
There ain't no angels above
Things ain't what they used to be
This ain't the summer of love

This ain't the garden of Eden
There ain't no angels above
Things ain't what they used to be
This ain't the summer of love
This ain't the summer of fun
