R.E.M Document Digitally Remastered 99 Lyrics
1.Finest Worksong(Digitally Remastered 99)

The time to rise has been engaged
You're better best to rearrange
I'm talking here to me alone
I listen to the finest worksong
Your finest hour, your finest hour

Another chance has been engaged
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
You are following this time
I beg you not, beg to rhyme(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your horn) your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Your better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song) your finest hour

Take your instinct by the reins
Better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused, been confused(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song)
Your finest hour(blow your horn)
Your finest hour(blow your song) your finest hour


2.Welcome To The Occupation(Digitally Remastered 99)

Hang your collar up inside
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the causeway you are

Bad and educated, primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation

Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and dyed and skinned alive
Listen to the Congress fire

Offering the educated primitive and loyal
Welcome to the occupation

Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to the buyer still
Listen to the Congress
Where we propagate confusion

Primitive and wild
Fire on the hemisphere below
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper, steel and cattle
An annotated history the forest for the fire
Where we open up the floodgates
Freedom reigns supreme
Fire on the hemisphere below

Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me Listen to me
Listen to me.


3.Exhuming McCarthy(Digitally Remastered 99)

You're beautiful more beautiful than me
You're honorable more honorable than me
Loyal to the Bank of America

(It's a sign of the times) (It's a sign of the times)

You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.

Vested interest united ties, landed gentry rationalize
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America

(It's a sign of the times) (it's a sign of the times)

You're sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen.
Sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business acumen.

Enemy sighted enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America

(on recording) 'Let us not assassinate this man further
Senator, you've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?'

You're sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumens
sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumens

Enemy sighted enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik
You've seen start and you've seen quit
(I'm addressing the table of content)
I always thought of you as quick

Exhuming McCarthy(Meet me at the book burning)


4.Disturbance At The Heron House(Digitally Remastered 99)

They're going wild, the call came in
At early morning predawn then
The followers of chaos out of control

They're numbering the monkeys
The monkeys and the monkeys
The followers of chaos out of control

The call came in to party central
Meeting of the green and simple
Try to tell us something we don't know

They're meeting at the monument
The call came in the monument
To liberty and honor under the honer roll

They've gathered up the cages
The cages and courageous
The followers of chaos out of control

The call came in to party central
Meeting of the green and simple
Try to tell us something we don't know

Disturbance at the Heron House
A stampede at the monument
To liberty and honor under the honor roll

The gathering of the grunts and greens
Cogs and grunts and hirelings
A meeting of a mean idea to hold

When feeding time has come and gone
They'll lose the heart and head for home
Try to tell us something we don't know
We don't now(everyone allowed)
(Everyone allowed, everyone allowed)


5.Strange(Digitally Remastered 99)

There's something strange going on tonight
There's something going on that's not quite right
Michael's nervous and the lights are bright
There's something going on that's not quite right

There's something going on that wasn't here before
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
There's something strange going on tonight
There's something going on that's not quite right, uh-huh

There's something strange going on tonight
There's something going on that's not quite right
Michael's nervous and the lights are bright
There's something going on that's not quite right

There's something going on that wasn't here before
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
No one's going to say goodnight
There's something going on that's not quite right, uh-huh

There's something going on that wasn't here before
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
No one's going to say goodnight
There's something going on that's not quite right, uh-huh


6.It's The End Of The World As We Know It(And I Feel Fine)(Digitally
Remastered 99)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, don't miserve your own needs
speed it up a notch, speak, grunt, no strength
The ladder start to clatter with fear of height, down height
Wire in a fire representing seven games
And a government for hire at a combat site
Left her wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
Breathing down your neck
Team by team reporters, baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine then
Uh-oh, overflow population, common group
But it'll do to save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat
tell me with a rapture and the reverend and the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

Six o'clock T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return. listen to yourself churn
Lock it in, uniforming, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh
This means no fear cavalier, renegade, steer clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions and offer me alternatives, and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, I fee fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, bug net, right, right

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end....


7.The One I Love(1999 Digital Remaster)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire(she's comin' down on her own, now)


8.Fireplace(Digitally Remastered 99)

Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Shake the rug into the fireplace

Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Sweep the floor into the fireplace

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Throw the chairs into the fireplace

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Throw the walls into the fireplace.


9.Lightnin' Hopkins(Digitally Remastered 99)

When I lay myself to sleep pray that I don't go too deep
Lightnin' won Lightnin' won
Because it's cold down gold down there, crow!

Flat lands low lands on the track
Shows the water pan the track
Lightnin' won lightnin' won
Close up hands to silhouette, crow!

Lightnin' won, lightnin' won
Hound bark on the track
Hound crow hold onto your hat

Lightnin' won lightnin' won
Low lands timberlands bad lands bird lands.


10.King Of Birds(Digitally Remastered 99)

A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point,
Point observation, children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me
cold.
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly

Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on
(Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young,
there's time to teach, point to point,
point observation, children carry reservations).
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away,
away.

I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away

Everybody hit the ground. Everybody hit the ground.


11.Oddfellows Local 151(Digitally Remastered 99)

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof
Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again.

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum.

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach.
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the 151.

Firehouse. Firehouse.
Firehouse. Liarhouse.
