When somethings gone
I wanna fight to get it back again.

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me

If somethings old
I wanna put a bit of shining on it

I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good

I just find both songs to have pretty simple basic lyrics
in one, hes lost something / want it back
the other? hes gone, hopes someones waiting for him to come back

in one he wants to take something old and unwanted and make it good / new / wanted again
the other, he wants to take something thats general bad, and make it good / happy / wanted

I'm trying to think of instances of other artists with significant-sized back catalogs where a single song captures as much of their "essence" as Corduroy does with Pearl Jam. I'm talking sonically, thematically, performance-wise...

I'm thinking I'd add Fight the Power by Public Enemy to that list.

According to the title, it's El "Corduory". Which sounds like somebody in freezing weather trying to pronounce Corduroy.
