REM - Academy Fight Song - lyrics

Mission of Burma)
Walk into my room
Ask me jerky questions
Don't mean what you say
Immaculate Conception
Play by the rules
So close to the chest, chest
Show that all's not lost
This is not a test.
Stay just as far from me as me from you.
Make sure that you are sure of everything I do.
'Cause I'm not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not
Your academy
The halls are like piss
The rooms are underlit
Still it must be nice
Such a perfect fit, fit
What's that I hear?
The sound of marching feet
It has a strange alure,
Has a strange alure
Stay just as far from me as me from you.
Make sure that you are sure of everything I do.
'Cause I'm not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not
Your academy
Your academy
Maybe you're right,
I shouldn't judge
What's wrong or right,
It's all too much
I'm not judging you,
I'm judging me.
My academy.
Your academy
My academy.
Your academy

REM - 11 - lyrics

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
This world is big and so-awake
I stayed up late to hear your voice
This light is here to keep you warm
This song is here to keep you strong
I made a list of things to say
But all I really want to say
All I really want to say is
Hold her and keep him strong
While Im away from here
Hold her and keep her strong
While Im away from here
Hold her and keep him strong
While Im away from here
Ive seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her
Ive seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold him
Hold her and keep her strong
While Im away from here
Hold him and keep him strong
While Im away from here

REM - 7 Chinese Brothers - lyrics

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
(chorus 1)
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a seat
Take in one symphony now, weve just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited hold it to you in the colored come another
(chorus 2)
Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return, she will return
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2)
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a chair
Take in one symphony now, I guess we lost that battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas swimming colored come
Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years the communi did reign
She will return, she will return

REM - A Month Of Saturdays - lyrics

Five o'clock Friday
All my work is done
I can hardly wait
Let's take the server
Let's sling it around
Let's make it taste so sweet
I wanna take all the Saturdays
I wanna stay up late
I wanna stomp my feet on the ground
I wanna celebrate
A month of Saturdays, Saturdays
A month of Saturday, Saturdays, ah
I'm tired of waiting for the weekend to begin (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday)
I'm tired of punching in (Wednesday, Thursday)
Give me a holiday that never ends (Friday, Saturday)
Give me a weekend, weekend, weekend
Give me a weekend, weekend
A month of Saturdays, Saturdays
I'm talkin' Saturday, Saturdays, ah
Shout
Give me a weekend, weekend, weekend

REM - After Hours (live) - lyrics

The Velvet Underground)
If you close the door
the night could last forever.
Say goodbye to now
and say hello to never.
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
You know it can happen to me.
But if we close the door
I'll never have to see the world again

REM - 1,000,000 - lyrics

Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
All along the tomb, all along the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
I could live a million, I could live a million, I could live a million,
I could live a million years.
(repeat 1st verse and chorus)
All along all along all along the tomb
Secret in secret in secret in the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too

REM - 9-9 - lyrics

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord, hesitate.
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back
Give me a couple,
Dont give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back
Give me a couple,
Dont give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear
What is my mind?
What is my mind?
Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back
Give me a couple,
Dont give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Conversation fear. conversation fear. conversation fear.

REM - (Don't Go Back To) Rockville (edit) - lyrics

Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place thats far, so far away and if thats not enough
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I dont care if youre not here with me
Cause its so much easier to handle
All my problems if Im too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or its gonna be too late to bring you back
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Its not as though I really need you
If you were here Id only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
Thats not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
