I didn’t realise until listening ti this again that REM were so awake to the illuson that has been peddled about going to the moon.

Automatic For The People

Man On The Moon

Watch the video trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q-58t7gvyg.

Starts as a gentle love song with a little snake in the grass. A big thank you, Ian Collins @ian-211 for the string arrangement, drums, helping producing and the choir singing!

Lyrics
____________________________

I want you to be the first thing I see
When I wake up from dreaming about you
Sweet sleepy head your warmth in my bed
Your yawn when my arm glides around you

I make you some tea and egg toast with cheese
And arrange it solemnly on a sheet
"You smile at me lovingly, you care for me touchingly", you say when I kiss you in Mandrake Suite

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34
I discovered a natural beauty I couldn’t ignore, nevermore

Oh my god I fell back asleep till I heard the door-sweep
While you already showered and look fully dressed
You tell me it’s a crime but we ran out of time
And a client is waiting, I hope he’s the last

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34...

Aah, you’re the first thing
Aah, let me be the last thing

Man On The Moon

R.E.M
