Bazouki Song (Demo)R.E.M.

Producer: Scott Litt R.E.M.

[Verse 1]
Monty this seems strange to me
I know my head, I know my feet
But mischief knocked me in the knees
Said, just let go, just let go
I saw the ocean meet the man
I saw you buried in the sand
Your friend was there to hold your hand
Said, walk on by
So, I went walking through the street
I saw you tied up in a tree
A woman knelt there said to me
Said, hold your tongue, hold your tongue

[Chorus]
You don't owe us anything
You don't want you sympathy
Don't you waste your breath
Monty, this is strange

[Verse 2]
You try to guess what all this mean
You're sure you might guess many things
But nothing isn't anything
So, don't waste time
Now, here's a rhyme that you can steal
Put this on your reel to reel
Mischief threw a raw deal
Monty's laying low
Take your breath
Use your mind
Don't waste time

[Chorus]
You don't owe us anything
You don't want your sympathy
Don't you waste your breath
Monty, this seems strange to me
Monty, this seems strange

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
