It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - Live From Pyramid Stage, Glastonbury Festival / 1999 R.E.M.
[Intro]
We're gonna do one more song and then we’re - off into the night
I hope all of you sleep really good tonight
I hope you sleep sweet dreams
I hope each and every one of you grabs somebody and gives them a big-ass, American hug
Or, it can be- okay, if you wanna give them a big-ass- whatever-you're-from hug, then- just fucking do it
Because this is now
And now is here
And here is where you are
And it's all. real. good
Take it, from there
Here we go
[Verse 1]
That’s great!
It starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes and aeroplanes
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane
Listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't misserve your own needs
Speed it up a nock, speed, grunt, no, strength
Then the ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire representing seven games
The government for hire in a combat site
Left of west and coming with 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, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs
Listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the rapture and the reverend in the right, right
You patriotic, patriotic, slam foot neck
Feeling pretty psyched…
We're gonna do one more song and then we’re - off into the night
