I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Crush

28 May 2008
Ever wondered what the lyric in the mumbled bridge section on R.E.M.'s Orange Crush actually said?

"Hup 2,3,4 / We circle, and we'd circle and we'd circle / To stop and consider / And centred on the pavement / Stacked up, all the trucks jacked up / In slush and orange crush in pocket / And all here in this country / Hell, any country / It's just like heaven here / And I was in a different country / And all then this whirly bird // I had my goggles pulled off / And I knew it all / I knew every back road / And every truck stop.

Orange Crush, was of course from the Green Album.

Here's the full lyric:

Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me

repeat verse

High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one on the waves tonight,
Comin' in, you're home

Bridge

Repeat verse and chorus


Once again the inspiration for this post was from The Complete R.E.M.
