Stone Temple Pilots Lyrics
Somebody told me, I know where to go
Somebody showed me, I was last to know
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what I wanted
What I wanted is what she wanted
Unfriendly feelings, down on wounded knee
Unfriendly reasons, some blind mother's need
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what we wanted
What we wanted is what she wanted
You read the words and it sells you life
They sell their words, but it's all a lie
Somebody told me, I know where to go
Somebody showed me, I was last to know
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what I wanted
What we wanted is what we wanted
What I wanted, is what I wanted
What we wanted is what she wanted
The second album
Twelve precious melodies
Worth listening
Hope you enjoy them
Like if it's sung to me
Listen to twelve great tunes
Playing on your stereo
Dining and dancing too
Entertain on the piano
The second album
Twelve gracious melodies
To listen
Include this number
Keeping you company
Well getting on the record soon
Grooving on an afternoon
That's on my album too
This album cover
Looks similar like Johnny Mathis
For Mathis lovers this album has his style
Beautiful numbers are heard on the car radio
After all records are cut in the recording studio
My second album
One dozen melodies to listen
Include this number
Keeping in company
Well, hoping that this record sells
Singing by our wishing well
That's on my album too

Stone Temple Pilots (often abbreviated as STP) is a Grammy Award winning American rock band from San Diego, California, that originally consisted of Scott Weiland (lead vocals), brothers Dean (guitar) and Robert DeLeo (bass, backing vocals), and Eric Kretz (drums). Since the band's formation in 1989, its line-up remained unchanged until the dismissal of Weiland in 2013, who was replaced by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. In 2015, Bennington left the band to focus solely on Linkin Park.

Since the band's formation in 1989, its line-up remained unchanged until the dismissal of Weiland in 2013, who was replaced by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. In 2015, Bennington left the band to focus solely on Linkin Park. On December 3, 2015, Weiland was found dead on his tour bus prior to a performance with his band The Wildabouts. Bennington committed suicide on July 20, 2017. In November 2017, the band hired former X-Factor contestant Jeff Gutt as their new lead singer.
After forming in 1989 under the name Mighty Joe Young, the band signed with Atlantic Records and changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots. The band found immediate success in 1993 upon releasing their debut album, Core (1992), and went on to become one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1990s.[7] The band released four more studio albums: Purple (1994), Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (1996), No. 4 (1999) and Shangri-La Dee Da (2001), before separating in 2002, after which the band members partook in various projects (most notably Velvet Revolver and Army of Anyone). The band eventually reconvened in 2008 for a reunion tour, released a new self-titled album in 2010, and have been actively touring since, even after Weiland was fired from the band. The band's only material with Bennington was the EP High Rise in 2013.[8]
While initially displaying a sound typically identified as grunge early on in its career, further releases from the band expressed a variety of influences, including psychedelic rock, bossa nova and classic rock. The band's evolution throughout the 1990s and early 2000s involved several tumultuous periods of commercial highs and lows, brought about in part by Weiland's well-publicized struggles with drug addiction.
The band's five studio albums have sold over 17 million copies in the United States alone. The band has had fifteen top ten singles on the Billboard rock charts, including six number ones, and one number one album on the pop charts (1994's Purple). In 1993, the band won a Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance" for their song "Plush". Stone Temple Pilots were also ranked at number 40 on VH1's The 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. In 2003, the band released the greatest hits compilation Thank You. Around this time, band members began going their separate ways. After the band's break-up in 2003 , original lead singer Scott Weiland became the frontman of Velvet Revolver with former members of Guns N' Roses. The DeLeo brothers formed the band Army of Anyone with Richard Patrick of the band Filter. Kretz founded Bomb Shelter Studios in Los Angeles.
The band reunited in 2008 after Weiland split from Velvet Revolver, kicking off the tour at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. The band released their self titled sixth album in 2010.

Lyrics
Somebody told me, I know where to go
Somebody showed me, I was last to know
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what I wanted
What I wanted is what she wanted
Unfriendly feelings, down on wounded knee
Unfriendly reasons, some blind mother's need
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what we wanted
What we wanted is what she wanted
You read the words and it sells you life
They sell their words, but it's all a lie
Somebody told me, I know where to go
Somebody showed me, I was last to know
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
Sell me down the river
What I wanted, is what I wanted
What we wanted is what we wanted
What I wanted, is what I wanted
What we wanted is what she wanted

I met Scotty in a Japanese restaurant in Soho back in the early 90s. It was just after they'd left the Mighty Joe moniker, so their fame wasn't so astronomical that he was inaccessible, but I'd already heard a Core sample, early on, so I was like, "OMG." Totally, embarrassingly fangirl. He invited me to join him, Robert, & Dean. We sat there, eating sushi and drinking saki for hours, talking the music industry, where the band was headed, love, life. It's one of the top 10 experiences in my life.
The next time I saw him, was backstage at an event in 2003. He was so high, I had to help him to the Green Room. There was never any judgement from me, but I was super worried about. The thing about Scotty, though, was after like 6 hours of talk on a random day in the 90s, he still recognized me and knew my name so high he could barely function. He was full of hugs and "What has your life been like?" and everything. That's just the kind of man he was. Strong, beyond. Wonderful, smart, sweet, funny. Addicted. I stayed with him until I was sure someone was there to really take care of him, but by that time, everyone seemed so tired and annoyed, no one seemed to care much, anymore.
I have to say that I loved that man all his life. I think I'm still mourning the loss. That said, I wanted to tell people what a random nobody from the middle of Illinois' experience was with him. He was amazing. Every minute. Cold sober or high as a kite, he was always a wonderful person! Rest in peace, love.

That's a nice fucking letter.

Good story and believable to a cynical person. An honest question though:
Why does almost every 90's alternative icon have some sort of inner turmoil that leads to drugs and death? Could there have not been 1 or 2 who were both talented and based? Why would Scott destroy himself, as he was becoming famous and wealthy? Did you talk about that?
Logic and morality rule the universe. Why did so little of each reach our most talented, Cornell gone, Cobain gone, Weiland gone. Billy Corgan and Eddie Vedder are all that's left. Billy was too smart for everyone from the start, Eddie I think survived by being more of a wino than a druggie.

One of the most overlooked/underrated tunes. First tune I referred to. RIP Scott.
Austen Lund
5 years later and this was the first deep cut that popped in my mind remembering Scott. RIP
Jake Pederson
I agree
kate jones
Agreed. Problem was whole album was loaded, they put it as last song, and a very weird title.
