R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals. R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records.

He's got his work and she comes easy 
They each come around when the other is gone 
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between 
I wouldn't confide in the Prodigal Son 
The die has been cast, the battle is won 
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun 
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun 

They come and they come and they come and they come 
I accepted with a gentle tongue 
No words spoken, no need to speak 

Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell 
Tether that ring and phrase 
Enough with the rifle and talk already 
We all know what it means 
Take this conversation to your great divide 
I can only swallow what I ate 
And I don't hate him 
And I don't hate her 

They come and they come and they come and they come 
I accepted with a gentle tongue 
No heart broken, no need to speak 

(Don't talk to me) 
Don't talk to me about being alone 
(Don't talk to me) 
Don't talk to me about being alone 
(Don't talk to me) 
Don't talk to me about being alone 

Reach for each other before you leave 
Reach peace with a E-A-see 
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease 
Don't threaten me with angry 
Please, please, please 
Don't try to tell me what I am 

(Talk to me) 
Don't talk to me 
(Talk to me) 
Don't talk to me
