"Lukin" is a song by Pearl Jam that appears on their 1996 album, No Code. The song is named after former Melvins and Mudhoney bassist Matt Lukin.
[edit] Lyrical meaning
The song is about Matt Lukin's house and how Eddie Vedder found refuge there. Before performing the song at their September 16, 1996 show in Seattle Vedder stated, "I'm okay because in two hours I'll be sitting in somebody's kitchen with a beer, laughing about it all. I can even tell you whose kitchen."[1]
The lyrics "I find my wife, I call the cops, this day's work's never done/The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun" refer to Vedder's fears of a female stalker.[2]
