    I don't know why you're mean to me

    when I call on the telephone.

    and I don't know what you mean to me

    but I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on



    These words, "You will be mine."

    These words, "You will be mine." all the time.



    the fool might be my middle name

    But I'd be foolish not to say

    I'm going to make whatever it takes,

    ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love,

    make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine.



    These words, "You will be mine."

    These words, "You will be mine." all the time. oh



    I tripped and fell. did I fall.

    What I want to feel, I want to feel it now



    You know with love come strange currencies

    and here is my appeal:



    I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,

    a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath

    just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real



    These words, "You will be mine"

    These words, "You will be mine." all the time. oh



    These words, "You will be mine."

    These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray,

    say, love's confined, oh.








    This song rules, easily one of the best Rem tunes of all time .. a personal fave

    One of my favorite R.E.M. songs too. From one of their most underrated albums. It's actually easy to forget this song is even on Monster. But so good.

    i think Moster probably is their best...

    raw Rem is best ... "I took your name" & "Bang And Blame " are other honorable mentions :D

    Whenever I say "Be Mine" is my favorite REM song, people always think I mean this song.

    Strange Currencies is still a great song though.

    I truly love both songs.

    I just rediscovered MONSTER and I like it more then I did when I first bought it in 1994.

    Definitely one of R.E.M's best albums.

    One of my favourites. I never understood anyone's beef with Monster, I think it's a great record.

    I think they were expecting something a little softer....maybe something more similar to Automatic for the People (and really, how can you follow up that album?) and were let down.

    Personally, Monster was the album that got me listening to REM.
