Unseen Power of the Picket Fen...

Pavement

Lyrics

Some bands I like to name check,

And one of them is REM

Classic songs with a long history

Southern boys just like you and me

Are - 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 favourite song

Time After Time was my least favourite song

The singer, he had long hair

And the drummer he knew restrait

And the bass man 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 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, Aye Sir they're coming, Aye Sir, move those wagons, Aye

Sir, Artillery's in place Sir, Aye Sir, Aye Sir, hide it, hide it, Aye

Sir, run, run
