I posted these lyrics in the 'Lyrics of the moment' thread a while back. They're from 'Blue', the final track on their final album, a great way to finish...
I am made by my times
I am a creation of now
Shaken with the cracks and crevices
I'm not giving up easy
I will not fold
I don't have much
But what I have is gold
This is my time and I am thrilled to be alive.
“Do not postpone happiness”
(Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)
I was in the curry house when I heard REM had split up & fainted at the news.
That's me in the korma.
That kind of deserves a groan Byrnzie
From reading the lists in this thread it looks like Nightswimming is one of the favourite REM songs amongst PJ fans. I wouldn't have predicted this actually - although this is one of my favourite songs from any band. A perfect sentiment, perfectly captured :thumbup:

"Hello Oregonians. Hello Washingtonians. Hello Portland..where the fuck are we? We're in Ridgefield!"
This here is the place I will be staying.
There isn’t a number. You can call the pay phone.
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time.
If I don’t pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more.
If I don’t pick up, pick up... The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up,
But this machine can only swallow money.
You can’t lay a patch by computer design.
It’s just a lot of stupid, stupid signs.
Tell her,
Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding.
That way she’ll know that it’s really, really, really, really me.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Baby, instant soup doesn’t really grab me.
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial.
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice,
A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of Doctor Seuss;
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend.
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream.
The sidewinder sleeps on his back.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.

I will figure out my favorite song later. Since they broke up, now is the time for me to get into all their albums I never listened to before.
Been listening to Lifes Rich Pageant (yea, just now - WTF?), New Adventures in HiFi (I'm such an idiot for not getting this at the time), Accelerate & Collapse Into Now (I LOVE Uberlin).
All that said, Man on the Moon is an absolutely perfect song, even though it's massively overplayed and all that.
