Does anyone know who sings the song that goes "I'm going hungry, I'm going
hungry..."? It also has some lyrics about a "cup overflowing."

Thanks in advance,

Dave

"Hungerstrike" - sung by Chris of Soundgarden, and Eddie of Pearl Jam. These
bands merged into a band called Temple Of The Dog - as a tribute to Andrew who
died of an overdose. The whole project is one-off, just a project to help some
members of these bands to overcome the grief of losing their mutual friend,
Andrew (formerly of Mother Love Bone)
For what it is worth, here is the lyrics of HUNGERSTRIKE:

<Chris's part>
I don't mind stealing the bread
from the mouths of decadence
but I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's overfilled
but it is on the table
The fire is cooking
And the slaves are working
the blood is on the table
And their mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry

Hungerstrke
I'm going hungry

<Eddie's part>
(same as the opening verse)

Hungerstrike
I'm going hungry
Hungerstrike
I'm going hungry

Cheers, Catty.

This sounds like "Hunger Strike" by Temple of the Dog. The
band no longer exists per se; the album was apparently a one-off
tribute to the late Andrew Wood of Green River by his former
bandmates (who became Pearl Jam) and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden.
It's easy to tell that the lyric duties on "Hunger Strike" are
being shared between Cornell and Eddie Vedder.

Carlo....@dm-visinescu.nl said at the 20.10.96 about "Re: "I'm going hungry...""
in the newsgroup /ALT/MUSIC/LYRICS:

Yeah, exactly. Here it goes:

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouth of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And their farming babies
While the slaves are working
The blood is on the table

And their mouths are choking

But I'm growing hungry..

And, yes, it's all the lyrics to the songs sung by Eddie Vedder and Chris
Cornell... It's a great album (written about the death of Mother Love
Bone..)
