Lyrics:

This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop
These clothes
These clothes don't fit us right
I'm to blame
It's all the same
It's all the same

You come to me with the phone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses
Decked out in a robe
You wear me out
You wear me out

We've been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain,
EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this
A paper weight, junk garage
Winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged
A hotline, a wanted add
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
etc. etc.

I was at this show like 22 out of 25 years at Bridge This song playing made look into REM a little deeper. This was special for everyone to see. The Bridge shows are full of things like this. Neil brings so much to the table every year and brings out the best in everyone. I wish we could get more of those shows.

Unfortunately these concerts are taking place a bit too far away from where I live (Holland)... I have ordered the complete package of this 25th anniversary concert in the US 4 months ago, but unfortunately I still haven't received it... I wonder if it will ever come... :-(( Thanks for your comment ! :-))

This is just beautiful, Neil Young is a hero and REM are in my opinion one of the greatest bands that have ever graced this planet.

[DanaFritzy]

You have no idea how right you are...! :-))))) Thanks very much for your comments !

How do you make one of your greatest songs even better? Easy. Get Neil Young to play guitar on it. Spellbinding!

[Ryan Leahy]

Michael sounds absolutely fantastic.

I've only very recently discovered this song, despite being a huge fan of both Neil Young and REM. 'Like a Hurricane', 'In the Sun', and now this are up there with my favourite songs ever. This could even be my number one (if such a concept existed). A mind-blowingly amazing performance.

[MrSizelove44]

Completely blown away!!!!!!! Thanks DanaFritzy and Youtube.

[Kenny Sanders]

just wanted to say thanks a lot for posting this it really makes my soul feel good

Ugh i get the biggest goose bumps when I'm listening to this song. So odd listening to his guitar tell a sad story.i f that makes any sense. I wish mike and kurtdt could have recorded before apr94. I believe they would have done big things in music and maybe other things...womens and homosexual rights. It is crazy...what you had and what you gave to us
