Songtexte Unseen Power of the Picket Fence - Pavement

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 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 favorite song
Time After Time was my least favorite song

The singer, he had long hair
And the drummer, he knew restraint
And the bass man, he had all the right moves
And the guitar player was no saint

So let's 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, move those wagons, move those wagons, Aye Sir they're coming, Aye)
(Sir, Artillery's in place Sir, Aye Sir, Aye Sir, hide it, hide it, Aye)
(Sir, run, run)
