Pavement
"Unseen Power Of The Picket Fence"


some bands i like to name check
and one of them is R.E.M.
classic songs with a long history
southern boys just like you and me

R.E.M!

flashback - it's nineteen eighty threee
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 favorite song
Time After Time was my least favorite song

the singer, he had long hair
and the drummer, he knew restraint
and the bassman, 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 fifty states
and on a hill, there stands sherman
sherman and his mates

they're marchin thru georgia
marchin thru georgia
they're marchin thru georgia
g g g g georgia
they're marchin thru georgia
we're marchin thru georgia
marchin thru georgia
g g g g georgia

and there stands R.E.M.
