R.E.M.:  New Adventures in Hi-Fi



HOW THE WEST WAS WON AND WHERE IT GOT US

From: david wagner (102017.1777@compuserve.com)


riff:

d--4p2-4

peter plays this riff once or twice during the verses.
in the end, he plays this riff and also plays around in the
same area on the g and a strings.


oil from stone, water from my hand
brought under in placee of time
stored that luck wealth increased over time
that flyer out of the line

chorus:
D                       B     E
don't look backward, totally fine (story of my life, don't look back) (?)
D                       B     E
story of my life and trying times
D                  B      E
just add water, boiling lime
D                                  a
how the west was won and where it got us, ah


the river got trapped

crossed the blessings, alkaline

chorus

piano solo: play a B

i didn't where glasses cause i thought i might rain
now i can't see anything
i made a mistake, chalk it up to design
i cracke, godless and dry
i point my nose to the northern star
watch that the crime for my hate

chorus



Lyrics:

Blood from a stone
Water from wine.
Born under _____ design.

A stroke of bad luck,
wrong place, wrong time.
Let's fly up out of the lime.

The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.

Canary got trapped, the uranium mine.
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died.
a marker to mark where my tears run dry.
Cross it, bless it, alkaline.

The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.

I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain.
Now I can't see anything.
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design.
I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry.
I point my nose to the northern star,
watch the decline from a hazy distance.

The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.

WAKE-UP BOMB

From: Jesse Sage (jsage@fas.harvard.edu)

Main riff:

E-D-A-G

"I look cool... I was in deep"

C-G-C-G-D (with downfill of G-f#-e-d)

[chorus] (last time end with D-C)


the "solo"...

e -12----10---/--9----7--

b ----12-----/-----10----



Lyrics:

I...was...cool
I look good in a glass pack
I look good and mean
I look good in metallic sick wraparounds blackout tease
I scud along the horizon chew some sweet tree
I get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap
I like being seen
I look good with my drink eat no sleep
Take a leap, longevity
I look good in my attitude, latitude, 1973
I'm in deep

My head's on fire and high esteem
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb

Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything

I had to knock a few buildings over
I make an ugly mess
I had to blow a gasket
Drop transmission
I had to decompress
I had to write the great American novel
I had a neutron bomb
I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
I wake up (I wake up)
I wake up (I wake up)
I threw up when I saw what I'd done

Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up

Yeah, atomic, Supersonic
What a joke, I'm dumb
See ya, don't wanna be you
Lunch meat, Pond scum

My head's on fire in high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

From:  David Wagner (102017.1777@CompuServe.COM)

NEW TEST LEPER

the verse goes like this:
A*:540005

D  A  G -A*   D  A  G  (4x, me thinks)

the chorus (im pretty sure about this) goes like this:

G  A  B C D C(3x)  G  A  B  C  D  (that may be wrong - it's from memory)

Bridge:
Bm A D(4x, me thinks)
and end on Em(7?)


Lyrics:

I can't say that I love Jesus
that would be a hollow claim.
He did make some observations
and I'm quoting them today.
"Judge not lest ye be judged."
what a beautiful refrain.
The studio audience disagrees.
Have his lambs all gone astray?

Call me a leper

Call me a leper
Call me a leper

"You are lost and disillusioned!"
what an awful thing to say.
I know this show doesn't matter.
It means nothing to me.
I thought I might help them understand
but what an ugly thing to see.
"I am not an animal"
subtitled under the screen.

Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break.
I sat silent 5 commercuials
I had nothing left to say
The talk show host was index-carded
All organized and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened
What a sad parade.

What a sad parade

Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

Cold, alone and tired
Nothing's going to save me, oh I can see

I can't say I'm fearful
I can't say I'm not afraid
But I am not resisting, I can see

I don't need a heaven
I don't need religion
I am in the place where I should be

I am breathing water
I am breathing water
And everybody's got to breathe

I'm drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me
Breathing ourselves
I'm drowning
Breathing ourselves
Me, yeah

Lyrics

Source: From the premiere of the cc-video on MTV (August 14)

1-Look up, what do you see?
  All of you and all of me
  Fluorescent and starry
  Some of them, they surprise

The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
This letter
Fields of poppies, little pearls
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
Each and every one a little scary
I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
This star thing, I don't get it


2-I'll take you over, there
  I'll take you over, there
  Aluminum, tastes like fear
  Adrenaline, it pulls us near

  I'll take you over
  It tastes like fear, there
  I'll take you over

Will you live to 83?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?

Smoke it, drink
Here comes the flood
Anything to thin the blood
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
Phone, eat it, drink
Just another chink
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
Aluminum, the weakest link

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
But is that sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My loss, and here we go again
(repeat 2)

(repeat 1)
I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
Cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear, I got it
(rpt 2, 2...)

Pulls us near
Tastes like fear..

Nearer, nearer
over, over, over, over
Yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
Oh, over
I'll take you there
Over, let me
I'll take you there..
There, there, baby, yeah

LEAVE  (Last updated:  9/13/96)


From: Randy Simmons (s003rws@paladin.wright.edu)


This is obviously an electric guitar song.  So it is really
neat to play if you have an amp with good overdrive.  It
sounds better if you have a guitar with a pickup selector
switch like a Rickenbacker or a Les Paul, but that is just
for more flair and perfection.

Cool trick:
If you have a fairly good CD player, hit the pause button
(which should put the player in standby/play mode) then go
to track 6.  Now you should have an INDEX button on your

remote, hit Index to number 2 (usually it is a smaller number
on the digital display right next to the track number).  The
CD will automatically skip over the 1:01 min interlude/intro
on the acoustic guitar and right to the actual "beginning"
of the song!!!  Pretty cool!!  I assume this was done to
accomodate Radio DJ's who want not such a long song...
Now go check all of your other CDs to see who else did this!!

Amp Setting:
MEDIUM OVERDRIVE, MEDIUM GAIN, MEDIUM REVERB, MEDIUM CHORUS


* CAPO ON 1st FRET TO PLAY WITH THE ALBUM!!!


Guitar Riff:
             (put pickup selector switch in middle position)

s =3D slide to..    h =3D hammer on..     p =3D pick off to..

e ---------------------------------------
B ------------------------ 7 s 9 -- 6 ---
G -- 2 s 3 -- 3 s 5 -- 6 ----------------

G -- 2 s 3 -- 3 s 5 -- 6 -------------------------
D ------------------------------------------------
A ------------------------------------------------
E ------------------------------------------------



Verses:
       (this is a sort of muffled overdrive so put pickup
        selector switch in BASS/RHYTHM pickup pos.)
strum each chord only once and let ring

Am 012200
F  112331       REMEMBER!!  CAPO ON 1st FRET !!!!
G  330023
C  010230
F* 000330

  Am                       F
  Nothing could bring me closer.
  G                    G Am
  Nothing could bring me near.
  Am                    F
  Where is the road I follow
  G        G Am
  Leaving, leave


       Am            F
  It's Under, under, under my feet
      G                    G Am
  The sea spread out there before me.
G Am                   F
  Better I go, and the land touches sea.
  G                  G  Am
  There is _________ in what I believe.



Chorus:
       (this really stands out so put pickup
        selector switch in MIDDLE position)
listen to the album to get the strum pattern down!

C
   That's what keeps me,
Am
   That's what keeps me,
   C                     G
   That's what keeps me down.
      C            Am    G
   To leave it, to leave it,
                  F        F*  F
   Leave it all behind.



The following verses and choruses are played the same
sometimes with the Guitar riff and the chords, sometimes
just chords.  If you have two guitars (and two people)
play both!!


Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from rougher tide.
We're shifting the dream.
It's charging the sea.

I know where I marked the signs.

Suffer dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it.
I know him well, ugly and sweet
A temper madness who believed in extreme.

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say they aren't gonna like me
I say they don't know thier plane
Never left the ground.

(Chorus) x 1

Lift me, lift me,
I'll attain my dream.
I lost myself, I lost the,
Heartache calling me.

I lost myself in sorrow.
I lost myself in pain.
I lost myself in gravity.
Memory, leave, leave, leave.

(Chorus) x 2

In my hands my eyes are still
I walk into the sea
Shoot myself in a different place
And leave it.

Wait for this to take me,
It longed for my release.
Waited for the calling,
To leave, leave

Leave, leave, leave, leave
Leavin', Leavin'

Lyrics:

Just arrived Singapore, San Sebastian, Spain, 26-hour trip.
Salt Lake City, come in spring.
Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me.
Salt Lake City, come in spring.
Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me.

Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes, back, back.

Departure, godspeed, bless his heart, good boy.
What a f*ck-up, what a fighter.
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider,
Hung on the vine like a poison spider.
Win a eulogy with William Greider,
car crash, ptomaine, explosion-provider,
bus plunge, avalanche, poison spider.
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider.

Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes, back, back.

Go, go, go, yeah.

Everybody is young forever.
There's so much to tell you, so little time.
I've come a long way since the whatever,
shit, I still see a word, think of you.
There's so much that I can't do, yeah.
You will be young forever.
There's so much that I can't do.
There isn't so much that I can't do.

Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
Here it comes, back, back.

I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites

(w/riff1)
"You're so bitter," your complaint
I can't give you anything.
I don't know who you're livin for
I don't know you at all anymore.

Am-        C-
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
G-      F-
Than be trapped in this cell
Am-         C-              G-            F-
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me

Am / C /  G  /  riff2
I can't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

Move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
Move across the room
with heart full of glue I'm stronger than you think

Oh my peer,
your venier is wearing thin and cracking.
the surface and forms underneath,
underneath is lacking.

I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

You move across, innocence lost,
all static and desire,
you're blue in the face from a makeup case,
you set yourself on fire.

you strip down, lay yourself out
I know you can't fake it,

but are you tired and naked?
Are you tired and naked?  Well,

I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for.
I don't know what I want anymore.

This is horror movie stuff.
the muffin is peach, you're 'makin' love'.
You mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated.

Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.
she's a girl and she's loving me
but distance is my tendency.
I am defeated

If I'm your oyster, where's the war?
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn.
I know you can't find a fork.
I am just a little acorn.

Well, acorns grow to mighty trees.
You've got sauce, but you don't have knees.
Now look who's asking pretty please.
I lay defeated.

Call your bathroom friends around.
I will fake a little frown.
I will be your little clown,
easily defeated.

Yeah, shut the door and open wide.
seconal and astroglide.
fuck with me and traumatize.
don't you see I love your hide?

All the beauty that's trapped inside.
Can't you see I love your hide.
Can't you see I love your hide.
Can't you see it?

Have you lost your place?
I wore my doormat face.

Lyrics:
Movin' through rough waters motorboy,
swimming in your stream.
How could I be so blind
________ see there's something _________

Anyone could scratch your surface
now it's all amphetamine
you're blasting yourself into the grass
and ____ so fast ________________________

You say that you hate it
you want to re-create it
I've been around, I've been your lover.
______________Kill Devil Hill (?)
You're coming on with something so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.

_____________________________
_____________________________
_____________________________
Boy your blood is running cold.
Listen, This is now, this is here, this is me,
this is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, __________, that is gone, this is past
you cast yourself __________ gone down fast.

You say that you hate it.
You want to recreate it.
I've ___________, I've played your lover.
I've played it out to the hilt.
You're comin' on with something so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.

You love it. You hate it.
You want to re-create it.
Now, this is here, this is me.
This is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, ______, that is gone.
That is what I wanted you to feel.

You love it. You hate it.
You spit it out, the bitter pill.
I've been around, I've been your lover
______________________________________

I've ________, I've played your lover.
I've played it out to the hilt.
