Lyrics Home :: R.E.M. :: Stand

------------------------------------------

 

Stand in the place where you live

Now face North

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven’t before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face West

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven’t before

 

If you are confused check with the sun

Carry a compass to help you along

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

 

[repeat 1st verse]

 

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling

Listen to reason

Season is calling

 

[repeat 1st verse]

 

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling

Listen to reason

Reason is calling

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

 

So Stand (stand)

Now face North

Think about direction, wonder why you haven’t before

Now stand (stand)

Now face West

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven’t

 

[repeat 1st verse]

 

Stand in the place where you are (Now face North)

Stand in the place where you are (Now face West)

Your feet are going to be on the ground (Stand in the place where you are)

Your head is there to move you around, so stand.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 12:15 PM)
Id like to nominate some Lenny Kravitz

 

I wish that I could fly

into the sky

so very high

just like a dragonfly

 

 

Do dragonflys ever get more than a few feet off the ground? Seriously.

 

As for REM's "Stand", I do believe that their intent was to write the dumbest song they could. It was a bit of a "thumbing of the nose" at all the people trying to figure out their songs and taking their stuff so serious. So they wrote the most idiotic thing they could. I know for years it killed them that it became such a huge hit, because it was meant to be a joke, and all of a sudden it was HUGE and they couldn't escape it.

Barenaked Ladies has to be in here for this gem

 

Pinch Me

 

It's the perfect time of year

Somewhere far away from here

I feel fine enough I guess

Considering everything's a mess

There's a restaraunt down the street

Where hungry people like to eat

I could walk but I'll just drive

It's colder than it looks outside

 

It's like a dream you try to remember- but it's gone

Then you

Try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn

When you

Try to see the world beyond your front door

Take your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile

When you

Realize that a guy my size's might take a while

Just to

Try to figure out what all this is for.

 

It's the perfect time of day

To throw all your cares away

Put the sprinkler on the lawn

And run through with my gym shorts on

Take a drink right from the hose

And change into some drier clothes

Climb the stairs up to my room

Sleep away the afternoon

 

It's like a dream you try to remember- but it's gone

Then you

Try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn

When you

Try to see the world beyond your front door

Take your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile

When you

Realize that a guy my size's might take a while

Just to

Try to figure out what all this is for.

 

Pinch Me, Pinch Me

'Cause I'm still asleep

Please God, tell me

That I'm still asleep

 

On an evening such as this (yo)

It's hard to tell if I exist (yo, right, if I-)

Pack the car and leave this town

Who'll notice that I'm not around?

I can hide out under there

I just made you say "underwear"

I can leave, but I'll just stay

All my stuff's here anyway

 

It's like a dream you try to remember- but it's gone

Then you

Try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn

When you

Try to see the world beyond your front door

Take your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile

When you

Realize that a guy my size's might take a while

Just to

Try to figure out what all this is for. (Pinch Me)

Try to figure out what all this is for. (Pinch Me)

Try to see the world beyond your front door. (Pinch Me)

Yrt to figure out what all this is for.

You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me

and that’s what made me see where I was going wrong

You put me on a shelf and kept me for yourself

I can only blame myself, you can only blame me

and I could write a song a hundred miles long

Well that’s where I belong and you belong with me

and I could write it down or spread it all around

Get lost and then get found or swallowed in the sea

 

You put me on a line and hung me out to dry

Darling that’s when I decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes

Made me realize what I could not see

 

and I could write a book, the one they'll say that shook the world

and then it took, it took it back from me

and I could write it down and spread it all around

Get lost and then get found and you'll come back to me

Not swallowed in the sea

 

Oohhhhh Ahhhhhh

 

and I could write a song a hundred miles long

Well that’s where I belong and you belong with me

The streets you’re walking on, a thousand houses long

Well that’s where I belong and you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live with nothing left to give

Forget but not forgive, not loving all you see

Oh the streets you’re walking on a thousand houses long

Well that’s where I belong and you belong with me

Not swallowed in the sea

 

You belong with me, not swallowed in the sea

Yeah you belong with me

 

Not swallowed in the sea.

 

 

oh, i thought we were looking for worst lyrics of all time, my bad

Macarthur Park

 

Spring was never waiting for us till

it ran one step ahead

as we followed in the dance.

 

Between the parted pages

we were pressed,

in love's hot, fevered iron

like a striped pair of pants.

 

Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark

all the sweet green icing flowing down

someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'cause it took so long to bake it

and I'll never have that recipe again

Oh, nooo!

 

I recall the yellow cotton dress

foaming like a wave

on the ground beneath your knees

birds like tender babies in your hands

and the old men playing

Chinese checkers

by the trees

 

Mac Arthur Park's is melting in the dark

all the sweet green icing flowing down

someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'cause it took so long to bake it

and I'll never have that recipe again

Oh, nooo!

 

There'll be another song for me

and I will sing it

there'll be another dream for me

someone will bring it

I will drink the wine while it is warn

and never let you catch me

looking at the sun, oh yeah

and after all the loves of my life

after all loves in my life

you'll be the one

 

I will take my life into my hands

and I will use it

I will win the worship in their eyes

and I will lose it

I will have the things that I desire

and my passion flow

like rivers through the sky

oh and after all the loves in my life

after all the loves in my life

you'll still be the one

and I'll ask myself why.

 

Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark

all the sweet green icing flowing down

someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'cause it took so long to bake it

and I'll never have that recipe again

Oh, nooo!

To keep this on the political track – the Captain and Tennille actually sang this mess at the White House, at a state dinner for Queen Elizabeth II.

 

Muskrat Love

 

by Captain & Tennille

 

Words and Music: Willis Alan Ramsay

 

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight

Doin’ the town and doin’ it right

In the evenin’

It’s pretty pleasin’

 

Muskrat susie, muskrat sam

Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land

And they shimmy

And sammy’s so skinny

 

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed

Singin’ and jingin’ the jango

Floatin’ like the heavens above

It looks like muskrat love

 

Nibbling on bacon, chewin’ on cheese

Sammy says to susie honey, would you please be my missus?

And she say yes

With her kisses

 

And now he’s ticklin’ her fancy

Rubbin’ her toes

Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes

As they wriggle, and sue starts to giggle

 

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed

Singin’ and jingin’ the jango

Floatin’ like the heavens above

It looks like muskrat love

Isn't there some song about abercrombie and fitch or something???

 

oh and this one...by Alkaline Trio

 

Shaking like a dog s***tin' razorblades,

Waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me

I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved

While you're taking your time with apologies,

I'm making my plans for revenge.

Red eyes on orange horizons

If columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge.

I'd drive straight off the edge.

 

Taking your own life with boredom,

I'm taking my own life with wine -

It helps you to rule out the sorrow,

It helps me to empty my mind.

Making the most of a bad time

I'm smoking the brains from my head

Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red

This kettle is seeing red.

 

I've got a big fat f***in' bone to pick with you my darling.

In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying.

I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,

Plugged in and ready to fall.

 

Shaking like a dog s***tin' razorblades,

Waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me

I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved

While you're taking your time with apologies,

I'm planning out my revenge.

Red eyes on orange horizons

If columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge.

I'm seeing red.

 

I've got a big fat f***in' bone to pick with you my darling.

In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying.

I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,

Plugged in and ready to fall.

 

Plugged in and ready to fall.

Plugged in and ready to fall.

 

Plugged in and ready to fall.

You think of LFO - Summer Girls?

 

 

 

 

 

(center text)

 

Yeah...I like it when the girls stop by.. In the summer

Do you remember, Do you remember?

...when we met..That summer??

 

[Chorus]

 

New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits

Chinese food makes me sick.

And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer

I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,

I'd take her if I had one wish,

But she's been gone since that summer..

Since that summer

 

[Verse 1]

 

Hip Hop Marmalade s*** And span,

Met you one summer and it all began

Your the best girl that I ever did see,

The great Larry Bird Jersey 33

When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet

Billy Shakespere wrote a whole bunch of sonnets

Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby

Sumthin in your eyes went and drove me crazy

Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad,

Left one day and never came back

Stayed all summer then went back home,

Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone

Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speakin

Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton

When I met you I said my name was Rich

You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

 

[Chorus]

 

New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits

Chinese food makes me sick.

And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer

I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,

I'd take her if I had one wish,

But she's been gone since that summer..

Since that summer

 

[Verse 2]

 

Cheery Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie

Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,

Always been hip to the B-boY Style

Known to act wild and make girls smile,

Love New Edition and the Candy Girl

Remind me of you because you rock my world

You come from Georgia where the peaches grow

They drink lemonade and speak real slow

You love hip hop and rock n roll

Dad took off when you were 4 years old

There was a good man named Paul Revere

I feel much better baby when you're near

You love fun dip and cherry Coke,

I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke

When I met you I said my name was Rich

You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

Bridge In the summertime girls got it goin on,

Shake and wigle to a hip hop song

Summertime girls are the kind I like,

I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

 

[Verse 3]

 

Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks

My mind takes me back there oh so quick

Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Lipit

Think about that summer and I bug,cause I miss it

Like the color purple,macaroni and cheese,

Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees

Call you up but whats the use

I like Kevin Bacon,but I hate Footloose

Came in the door said it before,I think I'm over you

but I'm really not sure

When I met you I said my name was Rich

You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

repeat Chorus

 

[bridge]

 

In the summer girls come and summer girls go

Some are worth while and some are so so,

Summer girls come and summer girls go

Some are worth while and some are so so,

Summertime girls got it goin on

Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song

Summertime girls are the kind I like

I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

 

[Repeat Chorus]

Since I'm a DMB fan, I'm gonna poke fun at my own kind of music....

 

Dreamgirl-

 

I would dig a hole all the way to China

Unless, of course, I was there

Then I’d dig my way home

If by digging I could steal

The wind from the sails of the greedy men who will rule the world

 

Still, you’re my best friend

And after a good, good drunk

You and me wake up and make love

After a deep sleep

Where I was dreaming, I was dreaming you were

 

A dream girl

A dream girl

Dream girl

Dream girl

 

 

 

Angel-

 

I call you up

You pick up

You call my bluff

On the cards of love

You hold to close

Your hands to your chest

I can’t read your eyes

But I confess

It’s lonely far from you

Even when you’re right by me

It’s only why I wait for you

Take my hand yeah

 

Why do I beg like a child

For your candy

Why do I come after you

Like I do

I love you

Whatever you are I swear

You’ll be my angel

You

 

 

Most of the songs on Everyday are bad, the new CD has some songs with s***ty lyrics as well....

How about a little Chicago flavor from Paperlace

 

The Night Chicago Died Lyrics

 

Daddy was a cop

On the East Side of Chicago

Back in the USA

Back in the bad old days

 

In the heat of a summer night

In the land of the dollar bill

When the town of Chicago died

And they talk about it still

 

When a man named Al Capone

Tried to make that town his own

And he called his gang to war

Against the forces of the law

 

I heard my momma cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother, what a night it really was

Brother, what a fight it really was

Glory be

 

I heard my momma cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother, what a night the people saw

Brother, what a fight the people saw

Yes, indeed

 

And the sound of the battle rang

Through the streets of the old East Side

'Til the last of the hoodlum gang

Had surrendered up or died

 

There was shouting in the street

And the sound of running feet

And I asked someone who said

'Bout a hundred cops are dead

 

I heard my momma cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother, what a night it really was

Brother, what a fight it really was

Glory be

 

I heard my momma cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother, what a night the people saw

Brother, what a fight the people saw

Yes, indeed

 

Then there was no sound at all

But the clock up on the wall

Then the door burst open wide

And my daddy stepped inside

And he kissed my momma's face

Then brushed her tears away

 

I heard my momma cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother, what a night it really was

Brother, what a fight it really was

Glory be

 

I heard my momma cry

I heard her pray the night Chicago died

Brother, what a night the people saw

Brother, what a fight the people saw

Yes, indeed

 

The night Chicago died

The night Chicago died

Brother, what a night it really was

Brother, what a fight it really was

Glory be

 

The night Chicago died

The night Chicago died

This brings back memories of the yahoo messenger argument we had about the lyrics - I ended up PM'ing him the lyrics I downloaded. To this day we cannot hear that song with ending up in fits of laughter.

"Peaches" - Presidents Of The United States of America

 

Moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches

I'm Moving to the country, I'm gonna eat me a lot of peaches

I'm Moving to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches

Moving to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches

Peaches come from a can

They were put there by a man

In a factory downtown

And if I head my little way

I'd eat peaches everyday

Sun-soaked bulges in the shade

Moving to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches

Moving to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches

I'm Moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches

Moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches

I took a little nap where the roots all twist

Squished your rotten peach in my fist

And dreamed about you, woman

I poked my finger down inside

Make a little room for an ant to hide

Nature's candy in my hand or can or pie

Millions of peaches, peaches for me

Millions of peaches, peaches for free

Millions of peaches, peaches for me

Millions of peaches, peaches for free... Look out!

Millions of peaches peaches for me

Millions of peaches peaches for free

Millions of peaches peaches for me

Millions of peaches, peaches for free... Look out!
