So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry) [Live From Rock City, Nottingham / 1984]

Did you never call? I waited for your call These rivers of suggestion are driving me away The trees will bend, the cities wash away The city on the river is a girl without a dream I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down The wise man built his words upon the rocks But I'm not bound to follow suit The trees will bend, the cities wash away The city in the mountains is a boy without a dream I'm sorry, I'm sorry Did you never call? I waited for your call These rivers of suggestion are driving me away The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed Go build yourself another home, this choice wasn't mine I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry "We're R.E.M. We're here from Georgia Which is in the southernmost part of the United States We're not proud of our president, we're sorry Uhm, I meant that The more astute of you may have noticed That there's a truck parked outside This is being taped tonight for one of your bigger, uhm, radio things But, outside of that, uhm, the heel came off off my boot And I was wondering if anybody has a size nine and a half shoe that I could borrow (nine) Does anybody mind if I wear beige shoes instead of black?"
