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.

Limo Wreck Lyrics
Soundgarden
Tears of the feeble
Hands of the slaves
Skin of the mothers
Mouths of the babes
Building the towers
Belongs to the sky
When the whole thing
Comes crashing down
Dont ask me why
Under the shelf
The shelf of the sky
Two eyes, two suns
Too heavenly blinds
Swallowing rivers
Belongs to the sea
When the whole thing washes away
Dont run to me
Ill be going down
For the rest of the slide
While the rest of you
Harvest the gold
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break
And the fall
Im the wreck of you
Im the death of you all
Im the wreck of you
Im the break and the fall
Under the red
Break of the lights
Heroes in stretches
Inch to the site
Blowing the pieces
Belong to the wind
When the whole thing
Blows away
I wont pretend
Ill be going down
For the rest of the slide
While the rest of you
Harvest the souls
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break
And the fall
Im the wreck of you
Im the death of you all
Im the wreck of you
Im the break and the fall
Behind the blood red break of the lights
Lies the wreck of you for the rest of your life
And the wreck of you
Is the death of you all
And the wreck of you
Is the break
And the fall
Im the wreck of you
Im the death of you all
Im the wreck of you
Im the break and the fall
