01-EVERYBODY HURTS – Re M
R.E.M.
When the day is long and the night,
the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go,
everybody cries
and everybody hurts
sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong,
now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
When you think you've had too much
of this life, well hang on
Everybody hurts,
Everybody hurts,
Don't throw your hand,
oh no, don't throw your hand
when you feel like you're alone,
no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own
in this life, the days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much,
of this life, to hang on
Well everybody hurts,
sometimes
Everybody cries,
everybody hurts,
sometimes
But everybody hurts
sometimes
so hold on, hold on, hold on,
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
Everybody hurts
You are not alone
02-LOSING MY RELIGION – La m
R.E.M.
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no I've said too much, I set it up
Consider this, Consider this
The hint of the century Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream…
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

NEAR WILD HEAVEN - La M
R.E.M.
Whenever we hold each other
We hold each other
There's a feeling that's going
Something has gone wrong
And I don't know
how much longer I can take it
House made of heart, break it
Take my head in your hands and shake it
In this, near wild heaven
Not near enough
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
Whatever it takes, I'm giving
It's just a gift I'm given
Try to live inside
Trying to move inside
And I always thought that it would make me smarter
But it's only made me harder
My heart thrown open wide
This near wild heaven
Not near enough
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
I'm holding my hands together
I'm holding my feet together
I'm holding myself together
In this near wild heaven
Not near enough
Near wild heaven
Near wild heaven
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven)
Living inside, living inside,
living inside (near wild heaven
OH MY HEART - La m
R.E.M.
The kids have a new take,
a new take on faith
Pick up the pieces,
get carried away
I came home to a city
half-erased
I came home to face
what we faced
This place needs me here to start
This place is the beat of my heart
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
The storm didn't kill me,
the government changed
Hear the answer and call,
hear this song, rearranged
Hear the trees,
the ghosts and the buildings, sing
With the wisdom
to reconcile this thing
It's sweet, and it's sad, and it's true
How it doesn't look bitter on you
.....
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
[ACCORDION BREAK]
Mother and father,
I stand beside you
The good of this world might help
see me through
This place needs me here
to start
This place is the beat
of my heart
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
(Oh, my heart)
