Waiting
On a Sunday afternoon
For what I read between the lines
Your lies
Feelin'
Like a hand in rusted shame
So do you laugh or does it cry
Reply
Leavin'
On a southern train
Only yesterday
You lied
Promises
Of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time
Go by
All of these things you said to me
Breathing
Is the hardest thing to do
With all I've said
And all that's dead for you
You lied
Goodbye
Leavin'
On a southern train

Great guitar tone, melodic bass playing, drums right in the pocket. Weiland ain't so bad either (RIP). One of the best songs of the '90s, and that's saying a lot. Perfect 10.
Chinese surveillance balloon on album cover! GREAT TUNE!
Opinions about this band may vary, but they really managed to knock out one for the ages here.
Only "Plush" is interesting song.

I miss Scott.
Goddamn Bill! Trying to get some work done and the last few tracks have completely stopped me in my tracks. How the hell do you do it? Been listening for 12 years, the world gets shittier but you just keep getting better!
Released 27 years ago!
Glad to see STP live. Note to younger self - go to more concerts…never say no.
Sang this on Karaoke Night mid-summer up at Ned's in Nederland; scored a pint of tasty local IPA for it, too! -- and many new friends...
it grows on you....creeps up on you...love it
I mean, really now; this is one of the most finely crafted tunes from that era. Sounds better with each listening since.
GREAT TUNE!
Question: Were the grunge singers naturally grungy-sounding, or was it a popular affectation of the 90s?
A characteristic of a very good song for me. If I've heard it hundreds of times and each subsequent time I hear it, it still sounds as good (and fresh) to me as the first time I originally heard it. No question that I've heard this song hundreds of times. This is a very good song for me.
Great sound, and was picked up by the grunge bands in the northwest, fortunately…
Solid 10✌️
Fantastic bass guitar!

Somehow, "like a hand in rusted shame" always sounds like "a ham and mustard shake" to me. Guess it would go with the beer shake from "Cannery Row."

I underestimated the Pilots. Master blaster. 7 > 8
Many happy memories from the time in my life I was listening to this. 
Don't know what it is about this song, but I just love it. I've also heard an acoustic version that is pretty good too.

Purple was recorded in Atlanta, thus the "southern train" reference.
Upbeat enough, not to be called depressing, although the lyrics are.
Now that I read the lyrics, I see that it's "leaving on a southern train," and not a "soul train," like I thought.
I like mine better.

And I'm at a 6 on this one...almost a 7....I think I'd like the acoustic version better too. Long Live RP!!
Loved Napster... And at ISU, a lot of students had open file shares which could be seen on the network. Took the admins a while to plug that hole (while the were using it to). I'd like to think I first heard this on WXRT on my way home from Chicago while OJ was heading back to his home from Chicago!

**EDIT** +1 today...almost to the average now with it at a 7....maybe cuz they're not one of the Seattle bands that I wasn't into back in the day....LLRP!!
There's a pretty decent acoustic version of this track out there somewhere. For some reason, that's the one I remember better, I think I ended up with it in the good ol' Napster days. Sure is a lot of nostalgia for me with this one.

Yikes, they were never in the same league as Pearl Jam but I have to give it to them that this song has aged well.
They weren't "so much better" than Pearl Jam NOR were they not "in the same league" with Pearl Jam. During both band's heydays, in the 90's, their albums were equally well received.
The difference is/was that Eddie Vedder was not as self-destructive as Scott Weiland. This was a limiting factor for STP as the 90's came to and end and beyond. Honestly, though, PJ hasn't blown up the charts much since the mid/late-90's themselves.

For all you 50 plus folks out there, this band reminds me of Bad Company. Not an Aerosmith or a Led Zeppelin, but as dedicated, they produced a great number of hits and really did know how to rock and roll. The same can be said of STP. Simple formula, simple songs, great message, and a great funk!

I'd give it 11 like the volume I turn it to if I could. Great song from an awesome album.

I was never a big fan of STP, and shook my head 15-20 several times when I read about Weiland's drug problems. I read his obituary the other day, ready to snicker, but realized that the guy worked hard while dealing with almost lifelong addiction problems. Apparently he struggled with the notion, like a lot of other artists, that he needed drugs to create music and succeed. Very sad. I'm sorry he's gone.

RIP - A chameleon of a rock singer. One song he sounds like Vedder, another like Plant, another like Rodgers.
RIP, Scott Weiland.
It's too bad Scott Weiland imploded, these guys were a cut above the rest for the time period. Tons of fantastic songs, this being one of them.
7 > 8.
This is one hot smoking grunge angst addled smash up.

Along with some of the other commenters here, I also think Stone Temple Pilots is underrated. If one of the hallmarks of rock music is to propel the listener forward, their songs do this in interesting ways. If I'm remembering right, they don't usually do the upward modulation trick that comes up a lot in 80's music. They have great guitar effects that create a crunchy sound, and then add subtle accentuations to the chords to create variety and a nice push. They've also got those occasional longer tracks on their albums that deviate from the usual pop formula, like Where the River Goes. That song is good, both musically and lyrically. Someone else said here that they produced good straight-ahead rock, and I think that's true. Nothing game changing, but really good high energy grunge rock. By definition, few things are going to be game changing, and while we wait for game changing bands to show up, there are bands that do something already established really well like STP.
If I were ever to do karaoke (Got forbid) this is the song I would choose, I just can't help myself to sing along!
Love the way this thing comes crashing in & thrashes up the place, making me CRANK THE VOLUME, like it's mid-90s all over again!
Great powerful sounds from a vastly underrated band!!
Great album

I always lumped Bad Company together with Foreigner. Couldn't stand either band back in the day, partly because they played such middle-of-the-road AOR, partly because I associated them with completely forgettable yobs in my high school.
STP definitely had a corporate-defined "bad boys" feel. They were as dangerous as the record label thought they should be. Didn't the singer have a heroin problem? That got semi-glamorized in the press and I have no time for that crap.
For once, I agree with rdo: I don't see Aerosmith and Led Zep as going together. LZ was a better band and I say that even though Aerosmith actually played at my high school gym. Aerosmith was much more about getting an FM hit and wasted too much time with drugs. LZ always struck me as being truer to its musical standards and had a wider range of musical influences.

My vote is defo with Purple too guys. Been on a bit of a grunge bender lately and this album has featured heavily.
Still cuts through !
Core was a good record, but it's no PURPLE.

I like STP, but I like going to 3 PJ shows in a week and hearing 2 1/2 hours worth of great tunes each night with only a few repeats.
I also like a band with writing contributions by all five members bringing a wide range of influences. And I like hearing the best lead soloist (McCready), and one of the best drummers (Cameron) of the last twenty years. Plus there are the amazing tunewriters in Gossard and Ament - you can look it up.
Oh yeah the best front man of the last twenty years (Vedder).
In the post 90's era, no American band can touch PJ.
Come to a show someday.

This song was terribly saturated on commerical radio; blind squirrel occasionally finds the nut! 8!!
yeah!
Just saw them on a VH1 Classic in Concert or some such thing ... excellent. Scott looked great, healthy even, sounded awesome. Even my teenagers were impressed.

Another listerner said STP should not be on RP.
That makes no sense to me.

Agreed on all counts. This is in my my top 10 songs of the decade.
And yes - this song certainly belongs on RP. This station plays plenty of 90's grunge rock - Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc.
Now if Bill and Rebecca start playing Daughtry and Three Doors Down, we might have a problem....
STP? Really? Cool!
This song kicks ass. 
One of the best albums of the 90's.

totally disagree. RP is the right format for ANY song... you know, being played in RP is like receiving a knighthood.
Do you want to deny this honour to any good song?
Hmm...I like STP. But not on RP. Wrong format.
