This is a rare Pavement song from the "No Alternative" album.

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.

R - 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.)

You got Mills and Buck mixed up when Malkmus is talking about the "bass man" and "guitar player".

Hey people, why are you so dense!? (That's a stupid question, granted.). He called Time After Time his FAVORITE song, he just modified it with 'least." If he didn't like the song, he wouldn't have called it his "favorite." This is just a way of saying you LOVE every song on the record, but some more than others.

I get the impression Stephen Malkmus is one of those people who think R.E.M. sold out with Lifes Rich Pageant ...

When I saw the title "Unseen Power of the Picket Fence," I knew immediately the song would be about R.E.M;)
