...and REM's 'up' is a great album.

...Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name
But somewhere there
I lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step the narrow path they've laid
They claim to walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Love me or leave me high

Say "Keep within the boundaries if you want to play"
Say "Contradiction only makes it harder"
How can I be
What I want to be?
When all I want to do is strip away these stilled constraints
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up
And walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Love me or leave me high

If I have bag of rocks
To carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high...


Strip away these stilled constraints. Oh, gods, that is a beautiful turn of phrase.
