Screaming Trees - All I Know Lyrics






Bite the thorn that pierced the skin
Come back down to Earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
Disconnect the telephone line

Got to get away, got to get away, get away
Got to get away before the Lord calls me to stay
All that I know, should've been, could've been mine

I killed the last way out of this
Persuaded by a deceitful kiss

Said you better stay, said you better stay, better stay
Said you better stay before it's all gone, gone away
All that I know, should've been, could've been mine
And for all that I know
Should've been, could've been mine

Bite the thorn that pierced the skin
Come back down to Earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
Disconnect the telephone line

Got to get away, got to get away, get away
Got to get away before I lose my mind
Said you better stay, said you better stay, better stay
Said you better stay before it's all gone, gone away
All that I know, should've been, could've been mine
And for all that I know
Should've been, could've been mine
[repeat to fade]

Screaming Trees All I Know Comments
  1. L.... I....

    Decent song. Sounds a bit like Tom Petty. But sorry to say this guy's voice is garbage

  2. b.... ....

    what a great song..... i totally forgot about these guys!

  3. D.... R....

    I was 18 in 1990 and remember nirvana, STP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, L7 but never heard of the screaming trees until around the late 90’s! If we’d had the internet back in the early 90’s the screaming trees would’ve been on everyone’s radar in the country!! They just weren’t marketed like the “BIG 3” Seattle bands of grunge!

  4. �.... C....

    0:30 for a second I thought my connection had fucked up lmao.

  5. D.... A....

    Yeah. Good stuff, bad tech on playback.

  6. t.... ....

    I love that catchy chorus.

  7. J.... K....

    Thank you

  8. o.... ....

    Drive through downtown Seattle playing this song and wonder "How prolific was this song?"

  9. t.... g....

    This always reminds me of someone I used to know. Great song, Brilliant band.

  10. k.... ....

    Still listening to this song today. Right now.

  11. A.... L....

    Classic you probably forgot once existed on the radio.

  12. W.... t....

    Pictures of mastic men

  13. W.... t....

    Pictures of mastic men

  14. s.... ....

    Is this song about heroin?

  15. L.... M....

    I have chills

  16. c.... a....

    Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
    Come back down to earth again
    The cold is creeping deep inside
    You disconnect the telephone line
    Gotta get away
    Gotta get away
    Get away
    Gotta get away
    'Fore the Lord gonna make me stay
    All that I know
    Shoulda been
    Coulda been
    Mine
    I killed the last way out of this
    Persuaded by a deceitful kiss
    That said you better stay
    Said you better stay
    Better stay
    Said you better stay
    'fore it's all gone
    Gone away
    All that I know...(repeat)
    Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
    Come back down to earth again
    The cold is creeping deep inside
    You disconnect the telephone line
    Gotta get away
    'Fore I lose my mind
    Said you better stay
    'Fore it's all gone
    Gone away
    All that I know
    All that I know

    c.... a....

    TY Celia! dj

  17. M.... ....

    Youtube needs to fix this video

  18. J.... S....

    GREAT SONG!!

  19. S.... C....

    Kinda reminds me of "Last Goodbye" by Jeff Buckley.

    S.... C....

    Thats what I thought to

    S.... C....

    Yes. Some broad played that song for me and I was all like "I love 90's rock!" but soon realized it wasn't this song.

  20. J.... B....

    Fix the FRICKIN video VEVO! Reupload it please! How can this have been allowed to stay up for eight years? WTF!

  21. A.... S....

    my parents made me in the early 90s listening to the grunge music im blessed to grow up on this eras music

  22. C.... S....

    Banda do caralho

  23. r.... L....

    Why can't someone fix this fucking music video?! This is one of Screaming Trees best.......

    r.... L....

    i know: wavy lines, blobs of green, it's just a typical crap video you know...
    with lanegan singing normally in the background, being innocent. it's probably the camera. And yes, they could.

    r.... L....

    A Gamer Called Moses no mate, it's corrupted too, stops dead in the chorus.

    r.... L....

    Oh, OK -- I thought it was my connection.

    r.... L....

    But the grunge-hating "Blame Nirvana For Killing Real Rock Music" 80's hair metal maniacs love the fact that this video is warped...and you're all pissed.

  24. S.... ....

    Very good song.

  25. M.... M....

    Goddamn VEVO make your shit work! Pauses playing every 30 seconds or so. Way to ruin a classic.

  26. I.... W....

    Wild thing....you make my heart sing

  27. E.... ....

    my fav in other songs ^^

  28. F.... T....

    The most overlooked band from the 90s Washington alternative scene.

    F.... T....

    What? They were by no stretch of the imagination “bad” live.

    F.... T....

    Yeah for sure. You just never heard anyone talk about these guys. But damn I sure remembered this song!

    F.... T....

    @Marcus Morgan You sure about that?

    F.... T....

    @Marcus Morgan Never mind that last comment. You're right.

    F.... T....

    @A L yeah I am absolutely positive

  29. a.... e....

    damn what a cool song....and what an amazing time to be alive during the early-mid90s music scene

    a.... e....

    I enjoyed so much good music from the 90's but years later, thanks to YouTube I see I also missed a lot of good music too

  30. a.... e....

    "gotta get away BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND"

  31. a.... e....

    so good...marks new solo albums are epic...he's got that voice that brings u into the guitar and the emotions he's portraying...simply put he's fucking pretty real...a true musician...dying breed sadly....rock needs some CPR

  32. S.... F....

    classic... much love

  33. S.... F....

    classic... much love

  34. F.... S....

    Hey YT can you play a video without glitching? HEY STUPID??

  35. L.... G....

    baita de uma banda uma das melhores do grunge ocara canta muito puta de um som da hora hoje só tem bandas lichos matarão o rock adoro está banda curto até hoje

    L.... G....

    Lorinaldo Gomes eu também não aguento ver o rock aonde está, principalmente no brasil

    L.... G....

    @Deus Do Rock morreu cara faz tempo e foi nesta época do grunge infelizmente

    L.... G....

    Você não é o único

  36. L.... M....

    Does this glitch at about 32 seconds?

    L.... M....

    There's more than one glitch during the video. What a disappointment. SMH.

    L.... M....

    At least there's something here. Any other copies?

    L.... M....

    Yeah i was like What!... wait, just did it again

  37. d.... c....

    Gran canción y espectacular banda, pero alguien tiene este video sin el error en el segundo 30?

  38. e.... ....

    WILL YOU PLEASE FIX THE FUCKING VIDEO ALREADY.

  39. p.... ....

    Mark Lanegan is still very involved in lots of different projects.  

  40. R.... H....

    The lead singer joined queens of the stone age, I think they should make another screaming trees album

  41. R.... C....

    Funny the commercial works perfect but the video is FUCKED UP!

  42. B.... ....

    I don't understand vevo at all. they have the privilege to transfer videos from other youtube accounts without losing the statistics, but they can't edit a fucked up video. why upload a fuck up video with no intensions to develop it? I would rather watch the old 144p video with no glitches than watch this garbage in 4k

  43. J.... D....

    Trop top jadoooooor merci

  44. S.... D....

    Best grunge band  by far

  45. N.... N....

    Intro is from Beatles "I am the Walrus", the rest is Status Quo "Pictures of Matchstick Men".

    N.... N....

    ok, thank you, now i know, please keep doing this

    N.... N....

    +Nat Defozzi and the riff after, that is totally radiohead's "just" or am i paranoid???

    N.... N....

    Nat Defozzi i looked that pictures of matchstick men song up to see what you were saying, and DUDE I've been looking for that song for years! i heard it on a commercial and had no idea how to find it. as far as likeness, it's a 4 chord pop progression like this but they're not the same notes in the same order, it's a vague similarity. the only song this reminds me of is get away by Lenny Kravitz

    N.... N....

    NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dj

  46. k.... l....

    its her son*****

  47. k.... l....

    ok this is not Kimberly longman..but its her so...dud you need to r- download this video...several parts of the song skips and pauses throughout the video...so just a lil advice...download a new version of this video. :p

  48. k.... l....

    My ex told me in 2003 that if I desecrate his name in Crescent City he would kill me

  49. k.... l....

    Passing by the grave yard I was in that grave yard lookng for my family history. The old is the one you have to watch out for It is eerie

  50. k.... l....

    I need lyric video

  51. k.... l....

    Also in Reno.

  52. k.... l....

    Telephone line, Oh! My! God! People everywhere talking on their cell phones. and staring at me in the process.

  53. k.... l....

    Thank GOD it is not November Rain.

  54. k.... l....

    Oh! God. This fucking town ruined it. God DAMN! It. Now I am responsible.

  55. k.... l....

    I am worried about it.

  56. w.... ....

    fokin' vevo

  57. D.... D....

    Can someone upload this video without the 5 skips in the song?????

  58. l.... ....

    All that I know is that Vevo is BULLSHIT!

  59. V.... G....

    Always been a big fan of "THE SKIPPING TREES"

  60. r.... ....

    i really miss the trees.

  61. S.... B....

    I bet Grunge or Alternative was shock to Music Establishment , given the fact they were on a Formulaic Pop Trend and the LAST thing those Kid Chasing ,Moloch Worshipers ever want is original , creative music that challenges boundaries .
    Hence why we have some many pop " stars " throwing up the pyramid , Devils Horns , spreading their legs or pole dancing and to tell you how devious these people are - Christian Rapper turned down 2 Million Contract required to rap bout Sex , $ & Lucifer .

  62. g.... ....

    What's best is this is not even similar to rape me o.o If anything, it's most similar to Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley. Even then, it's just a slight similarity in the opening riff. Jeez. Genius creative musicians are occasionally going to come to a similar conclusion when writing a song without ever even knowing it! It means nothing.

    g.... ....

    guitargod987 Reminds me of head by Mark Lanegan ironically enough

    g.... ....

    I play and sing this and rape me. Same chords. Very similar.

  63. t.... ....

    90' musics are my radar...

  64. j.... ....

    F**k the edit its so annoying...

  65. L.... k....

    plus, this chord progression is very common

  66. p.... ....

    Commerce is supposed to improve the product. Every homemade upload I've heard is far better than this.

  67. s.... ....

    Yeah what's up with the skipping? If this is a single edit then this the worst and most lazy single edit I've ever heard.

  68. T.... F....

    Fuck you vevo get your damn videos straight then maybe we'd like you.

  69. d.... ....

    fuck everything.......nothing like the grunge!!!!!!!

  70. R.... D....

    VEVO. Sony. Get a non-skipping version of this thx. Im sure you can if you actually try...
    One way to ruin a great song.

  71. d.... ....

    agree skipping sucks :(

  72. w.... ....

    This video is brutal... You'd think that VEVO would be broadcasting the best quality video... what the fuck is this garbage?

  73. M.... ....

    STFU about VEVO
    You're watching Screaming Trees for free (and some free inconvenience)
    just enjoy the music ffs.
    Because this song is very very awesome!

  74. N.... S....

    Hey fix this video it skipping piece of junk people who made this

  75. L.... F....

    VEVO and YOUTUBE SPAMS... SUCKS MY DICK

  76. j.... ....

    VEVO can go to hell,as far as i'm concerned.

  77. e.... ....

    I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FECKIN VEVO RUINED THIS.

  78. l.... ....

    well denying that this song is at least 'inspired' by "rape me" is just ignorance.

    l.... ....

    Lauri Israel Sure. Same chords. Different tempo and style. I actually didn't notice till you said something. I think just about anyone with a guitar played the exact same riff at one point and didn't know why or how.

  79. B.... V....

    Vevo reqlo tienen el video terrible de cortado

  80. C.... ....

    @grovest26 kids..... :facepalm:

  81. l.... ....

    riff is from nirvana - rape me just with different chords

  82. ;.... ....

    YOU CANT CONTROL THE AVAILABILITY OF ART you fucking hitlerist corporation.

  83. c.... ....

    How did the Very angry cat get on the page? Oh and Mark should be knighted

  84. T.... ....

    Fuck you Vevo...

  85. k.... ....

    fuck you vevo i just watch the other 50 videos from that song that are on youtube

  86. N.... S....

    y does it skip

  87. J.... B....

    Screw you vevo. Sincereley.

  88. D.... ....

    prefiero que quiten el video si no lo pondran como es. que verguenza les deberia dar

  89. C.... ....

    What the FUCK is this skipping shit?

  90. T.... S....

    What is this skipping shit? Makes me want to steer away from VEVO at any chance.

  91. I.... N....

    video is BADASS!

  92. W.... C....

    VEVO ARE SHIT

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

    fuck you vevo shits!

  94. K.... N....

    ....
    I agree with BlackGoldPenguin, way to shoot yourself in the ass.

  95. J.... B....
