I'm looking for an interruption,
do you believe?
You looking to dig my dreams
Be prepared for anything
You come into my little scene
Hooray hooray hip hip hooray
There's one thing I can guarantee:
You won't have to dig, dig too deep
Said leave me to lay, but touch me deep,
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need
Are you looking to drive my dreams?
You here to run my screens?
You come, deliver my demons
Hooray hooray hip hip hooray
Are you coming to ease my headache?
Do you give good head?
Am I good in bed?
I don't know, I guess so
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need
I'm looking for an interruption,
can you believe?
Some medicine for my headache
Hooray hooray hip hip hooray
I'm pitching for a new direction
Pinch me when I wake
Don't tell me my dreams are fake
you leave me to lay, you touch me deep,
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need
Leave me to lay, but touch me deep,
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need

My local record store had so many used copies of this CD that they sold em for a buck, and wouldn't buy more. When I inquired about selling mine, the clerk was very nice and said, "We don't really buy those but... ah heck, I'll give you a nickel."
nice. not played or no comments in 15 yrs? that's amazing. thanks for bringing this back william.
this is what i'm talking about. bringing back stuff that isn't played every day.

Visit (click here) and keep clicking the right arrow for an interesting (and admittedly trivial) bit of background info for the cover of Monster.
Does anyone else think that this song could veer into "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" at any moment?
Love REM. Definitely in my top 2-3 alltime list. However, having said that, "Monster" is probably my least favorite REM disc. Still, there are 1-2 songs on there that sort of redeem it for me (to some exten) and this is one of them.
Not REM at their best.
Been there done that . Great theme song for a certain mood. I may settle for a cup of coffee myself, but certainly know what I really need.
really enervating muzak :(
I seem to have lost my copy of Monster.
Huh. Oh well.

Surely not "Rockville" as in Rockville, Maryland? Bill, please play that one!

just my opinion...

I don't know if any of us can claim to know that it's better or worse, or not "classic R.E.M." anymore, we aren't R.E.M. and only they get to decide who they are. Of course you don't have to like where they've gone or what they've become, but I think that their work still exhibits an tremendous amount of musical and artistic integrity. They haven't sold out, and if one group is incapable of doing that, it is them. Yup, I prefer the earliest R.E.M. material, but I find myself entranced at times when I play "UP" or "New Adventures in Hi-Fi", there is some deeply moving stuff on those albums too, but give me "the Reckoning" anytime... My favourite R.E.M. track of all time... "Rockville"
just my opinion...

Very well put Jacques! I don't understand folks who seem to feel "betrayed" by an artist's evolution. Wonder if they're the same people who complain when an artist puts out cookie cutter work ... hmmmm. Originally Posted by zaakster:

Way back when I had the same experience with 'Frampton Comes Alive"
