|
Some bands I like to name check, |
|
And one of them is REM, |
|
Classic songs with a long history |
|
Southern boys just like you and me. |
|
R - E - M |
|
Flashback to 1983, |
|
Chronic Town was their first EP |
|
Later on came Reckoning |
|
Finster's art, and titles to match: |
|
South Central Rain, Don't Go Back To Rockville, |
|
Harbourcoat, Pretty Persuasion, |
|
You were born to be a camera, |
|
Time After Time was my least favourite song, |
|
Time After Time was my least favourite song. |
|
The singer, he had long hair |
|
And the drummer he knew restrait. |
|
And the bass man he had all the right moves |
|
And the guitar player was no saint. |
|
So lets go way back to the ancient times |
|
When there were no 50 states, |
|
|
|
And on a hill there stands Sherman |
|
Sherman and his mates. |
|
And they're marching through Georgia, |
|
we're marching through Georgia, |
|
we're marching through Georgia |
|
G-G-G-G-Georgia |
|
They're marching through Georgia, |
|
we're marching through Georgia, |
|
marching through Georgia |
|
G-G-G-G-Georgia |
|
and there stands REM |
|
|
|
(Aye Sir, Aye Sir, Aye Sir they're coming, Aye Sir, move those wagons, Aye |
|
Sir, Artillery's in place Sir, Aye Sir, Aye Sir, hide it, hide it, Aye |
|
Sir, run, run.) |
