Soundgarden was a seminal seattlerock band who helped to define the sound that came to be called grunge. Despite starting years earlier, and having a sound that sooner resembled Black Sabbath or Deep Purple than their contemporaries, they are usually considered one of the 'big four' of the '90s Seattle grunge bands, along with Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. The band was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell(vocals, and originally on drums) and (bass), to be joined later by Kim Thayil(guitar) and Matt Cameron(drums). Thayil joined the band after moving to Seattle from illinoiswith Yamamoto and Bruce Pavitt, who would later start sub pop records. Yamamoto was replaced by Ben Shepherdon bass after the release of 1989's Louder Than Love.

Fluttergirl Lyrics
Soundgarden
And drinking dust
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
So hide your face
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when I speak
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free
My hands are rough
My fingers cold
Your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that I might let you believe...
I'll melt your smile
I'll tear your wings
I'll color everything you see
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
And you don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
(Long solo...)
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I've lived
Flutter girl
