HAPPY WHEN I'M CRYING 
Scritta da Jack Irons
Registrata e mixata da Matt Bayles

E' per noi un piacere augurarvi insieme 
Ai R.E.M. un buon cetriolo 
[It is a pleasure for us to wish you, together 
with R.E.M., a merry cucumber] 
I need a song to help along 
When it feels wrong it seems so long 
To get to the light 
We live in homes talk on phones 
Hear the tones can you hold 
Moving fast as light TV's on at night 
Does peace come out of fighting 
Can truths come out of lying I'm happy when I'm crying 
If reality is what I see newspapers mag-azines TV 
Tell's what's going on leading us along 
It's not absurd to all get heard 
Put our feelings into words 
You have to reach inside no feelings to hide 
Does peace from out of fighting 
Can truth come out of lying 
I'm happy when I'm crying 
Bring children into the world 
We couldn't have done it by ourselves 
Stop and wonder why 
There's more than meets the eye 
Somewhere inside I did believe 
I can't belong I was wrong 
I have gained insight 
I will see the light 
Truth isn't lying 
Peace isn't fighting 
Love isn't dying 



LIVE FOR TODAY [Eseguita dai R.E.M.] 

We had this bright idea one late summer night 
Candy-coated popcorn strung like a beaded curtain hung over your door 
I guess the heat got to it, dripped and melted all over the floor 
Chocolate-covered cherries in tin foil boats float around the floorboard 
I had to laugh not to cry 
Now all your possessions, all of your things, all of your hopes, 
Schemes, desires, and most of all, your dreams 
All gone away...gone away... 
All gone away...gone away... 
All gone away 
"Live for today", you said, "live for today" 
I had to laugh not to cry 
I had to laugh not to cry, not to cry...
