Collapse Into Now - R.E.M.



Released in 2011 (2 days ago) and the first album I have purchased that has been released this year :) This is R.E.M.'s 15th studio album and I think they have come up with the goods once again - great album. I've listened to it 3 times now but not ready to say what my favorite songs are yet :p

But I do like the lyrics of this one - Alligator_Aviator_Autopilot_Antimatter:

I feel like an alligator
Climbing up the escalator
Climbing up the escalator
I feel strong

I feel like an aviator pilot
Thinks you wouldn't buy it
I'm feeling violent
Beat your bleeding eye in
Turn up the flyer

Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

I feel like an autopilot
I'm the world's strongest island
I feel like a rage coming under my hood
I feel good and calm like a robot would

I feel like an antimatter
I feel like an antimatter
I am not a hater, hater, hater, hater, hater

Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

I feel like a contradiction
I'm a walking science-fiction
I don't know which way to turn
I've got a lot to burn
I've got a lot of lot to burn

If I didn't like the way you stared at me
If I didn't like the way you stared at me
I could knock the sideways, I could knock you blind
I could show you found to the lost and find

I am not an agitator
I feel like an alligator
Climbing up the escalator...
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

You've so much to learn
You've got a lot to learn
