Pavement › Lyrics › Unseen Power of the Picket Fence

There's some bands I'd 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 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 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-Georgia

They're marching through Georgia
We're marching through Georgia
Marching through Georgia
G-G-Georgia
And there stands R.E.M
