R.E.M Murmur - The I.R.S. Years Vintage 1983 Lyrics
1.Radio Free Europe

besides yourself if radio's gonna stay
reason it could polish up the grey
put that put that put that up the wall
that this isnt country at all

raving stations, besides yourself

keep me out of country in the world
deal the porch is leading us absurd
push that, push that, push to the hull
that this isnt nothing at all

straight of the boat, where to go?
calling on in transit, calling on in transit
radio free europe, radio

besides defying media too fast
instead of pushing palaces to fall
put that, put that, put that before all
that this isn't fortunate at all

raving stations, besides yourself
calling on in transit, calling on in transit
radio free europe, radio

decide yourself, calling all of the medias too fast

keep me out of country in the world
disappoint is into us absurd

straight off the boat, where to go?
calling on in transit, calling on in transit
radio free europe


2.Pilgrimage

Take a turn, take a turn.
Take our fortune, take our fortune.
They called the clip a two-headed cow.
Your hate clipped and distant
Your luck, pilgrimage.
Rest assured this will not last,
Take a turn for the worst.
Your hate clipped and distant,
You luck, a two headed cow.

The pilgrimage has gained momentum.
Take a turn, take a turn.
Take our fortune, take our fortune.

Speakin' in tongues, it's worth a broken lip.
Your hate clipped and distant
Your luck, pilgrimage.
Rest assured this will not last,
Take a turn for the worst.
Your hate clipped and distant,
Your luck, a two headed cow.

The pilgrimage has gained momentum
Take a turn, take a turn.
Take a turn, take a turn.
Take our fortune, take a turn.
Take our fortune. Pilgrimage.

Speakin' in tongues, it's worth a broken lip.
Your hate clipped and distant,
Your luck.
Rest assured this will not last,
Take a turn for the worst.
Your hate clipped and distant,
Your luck, two headed.

The pilgrimage has gained momentum.
Take a turn, take a turn.
Take a turn, take a turn.
Take our fortune, take a turn.
Take our fortune. Pilgrimage. Pilgrimage.

The pilgrimage has gained momentum
Take a turn, take a turn.
Take a turn, take a turn.

Take our fortune, take a turn.
Take our fortune, take a turn.

Take a turn, take a turn.
Take a turn, take a turn.

Take our fortune, take a turn.
Take our fortune, take a turn.
Take our fortune.


3.Laughing

Laocoon and her two sons
Pressured storm, tried to move.
No other more emotion bound
Martyred, misconstrued.
Lighted in a room, lanky room

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune.
Lighted, lighted, laughing.

Laocoon and her two sons
Run the gamut, sated view
Know them more, emotion bound.
Martyred, misconstrued
Lighted in a room, lanky room

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune.
Lighted, lighted, laughing in a room.

Lock the door, latch the room.
Lighted, lighted, laughing
Laocoon and her two sons
Ran the gamut, settled new,
Find a place fit to laugh.
Lock the doors, latch the room.
Lighted in a room, lanky room.

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune.
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune.

Lighted, lighted, laughing in tunes.
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tunes.


4.Talk About The Passion

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction.
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion.
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world.
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world.

Talk about the passion.
Talk about the passion.

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction.
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion.
Combien, combien, combien du temps?

Talk about the passion.
Talk about the passion.

Not everyone can carry the weight of the world.
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world.
Combien, combien, combien du temps?

Talk about the passion.
Talk about the passion.

Talk about the passion.
Talk about the passion.

Talk about the passion.

5.Moral Kiosk

Scratch the scandals in the twilight.
Trying to shock, but instead
Idle hands all orient to her.
Pass a magic pillow under head.

It's so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk.
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight.
Scratch the scandals in the twilight.
She was laughing like a Horae.
Put that knee into our landslide.
Take the steps to dash a roving eye.

It's so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk.
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight.
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight.
Scratch the scandals in the twilight.
Trying to shock but instead
Idle hands all orient to her.
Pass a magic pillow under head.

It's so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk.
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight.
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight.
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight.
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight.


6.Perfect Circle

Put your hair back, we get to leave
Eleven gallows on your sleeve
Shallow figure, winner's paid
Eleven shadows way out of place

Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room

Pull your dress on and stay real close
Who might leave you where I left off?
A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends
Drink another, coin a phrase

Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room

Try to win and suit your needs
Speak out sometimes but try to win

Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room


7.Catapult

8.Sitting Still

This name I got we all agreed.
See could stop stop it will rid
We could bind it in the cist.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.

I'm the sign and you can read.
I'm the sign and you're not deaf.
We could bind it in the cist.
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
This name I got we all agree.
See could stop stop it will rid.
We could bind it in the cist.
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
You can gather when I talk, talk until you're blue.
You could get away from me.
Get away from me.

Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen size, but not Mae Ann
Setting trap for love, making a waste a time, sitting still.

I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
Can you hear me?


9.9 - 9

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?

Nothing much. Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate.

Got to punch...Right on target.
Twisting tongues gotta stripe down his back all nine yards down
her back.
Give me a couple, don't give me a couple of pointers.
Turn to lies and conversation fear.

What is in my mind?
What is in my mind?

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?

Nothing much. Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.

Got to punch...Right on target.
Twisting tongues gotta stripe down his back all nine yards down
her back.
Give me a couple, don't give me a couple of pointers.
Turn to lies and conversation fear.

Conversation fear. Conversation fear.
Conversation fear.


10.Shaking Through

Could it be that one small voice doesn't count in the world?
Yellow like a geisha doll, denial all the way.
Could this by three be turned?
Honor marches on.
Yellow like a geisha doll, denial all the way.

Shaking through, opportune.
Shaking through, opportune.

Are we grown way too far?
Taking after rain.
Yellow like a geisha doll, denial all the way.

Shaking through, opportune.
Shaking through, opportune.

In my life. Is that a steal?
Children of today on parade.
Yellow like a geisha doll, denial all the way.

Shaking through, opportune.
Shaking through, opportune.
Shaking through, opportune.
Shaking through, opportune.


11.We Walk

Up the stair to the landing, up the stairs into the hall.
Take oasis, Marat's bathing.
We walk through the wood we walk.

Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall.
Take oasis, Marat's bathing.
We walk through the woods we walk.
Take oasis, take oasis, take oasis, take oasis.

Up the stair to the landing, up the stairs into the hall.
Take oasis, Marat's bathing.
We walk through the world we walk.

Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall.
Take oasis, Marat's bathing.

Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall.
Take oasis, Marat's bathing.

Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall.
Into the hall, into the hall, up, up, up...


12.West Of The Fields

Long gone, intuition to assume are gone when we try.

West of the fields. West of the fields.
West of the fields. West of the fields.
Long gone. Long gone.
Long gone. Long gone.
West of the fields.

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try.
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen with your eyes oversimplify.

West of the fields. West of the fields.
West of the fields. West of the fields.
Long gone. Long gone.
Long gone. Long gone.
West of the fields.

The animals, how strange.
Try, try to stick it in.
The animals, how strange.
Try, try to stick it in.
Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try.
Tell now what is dreaming when we try.
Listen to your eyes when we die.

West of the fields. West of the fields.
West of the fields. West of the fields.
Long gone. Long gone.
Long gone. Long gone.

West of the fields. West of the fields.
West of the fields. West of the fields.
West of the fields.

Long gone. Long gone.
Long gone. Long gone.
West of the fields.


13.There She Goes Again(Live)

There she goes again
She's out on the street again
She's down on her knees my friend
Won't have to ask her please again

Look a little closer there's no tears in her eyes
You know she won't make it with just any guy
What can you do
See her walking down the street
With all your friends she's gonna meet
You'd better hit her


14.9 - 9(Live)

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?

Nothing much. Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate.

Got to punch...Right on target.
Twisting tongues gotta stripe down his back all nine yards down

Give me a couple, don't give me a couple of pointers.
Turn to lies and conversation fear.

15.Gardening At Night(Live)

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be
too real.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes.
Somewhere
It must be time for penitence. Gardening at night is never
where.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.
The neighbors go to bed at ten.
Call the prayer line for a change.
The charge is changing every month.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't
grow.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke though that door just didn't seem to be
too real.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.
Your sister said that you're too young.
They should know they've been there twice.
The call was two and fifty-one.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though
all
The feelings that broke through that door just didn't seem to be
too real.
We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't
grow.

Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.
