In the REM performance video Tourfilm, right before they perform "These Days" Michael Stipe recties a poem that goes something like:
Hey Man, I'm making moves
And I am so much stronger than you.
I am so much stronger.
I am so much stronger than you.
Everybody thinks the way that we thought.
We thought ahead and look what we got...etc.
I always wondered where that was from. Now we know:
I vaguely remember Syd Straw and her solo album that came out around 1989. I think it was called "Surprise" or something like that. I guess she and Stipe had done some work together with Golden Palominos, and it's him singing back-up on this song.
Alert the presses, I know, but the lyrics ring a bell, don't they?
