R.E.M. - Star 69 Lyrics
You don't have to take the bar exam to see
What you've done is ignoramus 103
What've I got to hang my hat on
You don't have a pot to pee in
All this just to be your friend
Extortion and arson, petty larceny.
I know you called-I know you called-I know you called
I know you called-I know you called-I know you hung up my line
Star 69
I know all about the warehouse fire
I know squirrelys didn't chew the wires
3 people have my number
The other 2 were with me
This time you have gone too far with me.
I know you called-I know you called-I know you called
I know you called-I know you called-I know you hung up my line
Star 69
Why'd you put your quarter down on me?
This reads like some dork inside edition hard copy.
I can't be your character witness
I can't be your alibi
Doorbell rings it's the FBI
We learned Spy vs. Spy
You my friend are guilty as can be.
I know you called-I know you called-I know you called
I know you called-I know you called-I know you hung up my line
I know you called-I know you called-I know you called
I know you called-I know you called-I can't be your alibi
Star 69

Wow what a great song
I want more coffee!!
MONSTER es un album que a la distancia me parece fabuloso , R.E.M nunca sono tan sucio como en ese disco , epico !
Así es tremendo disco. Me robaron el CD y lo volví a comprar y hasta ahora lo tengo.
Does it get any better? I think not!
Fact: REM is a rock band
Fact: Star 69 is REM's hardest rocking song
Why does Losing My Religion have more than 62M views. Nonsense. Everywhere. It really bugs the shit out of me when good art gets buried under some over-exposed, more popular, more profitable garbage. Follow buttons should be replaced by little pyramids of dogshit
In 1995 I was 15. So many great memories.
69th comment checking in.
NICE!
When you realise your 25 years older
Damn
What a great track to know that
The first and only grunge album by REM. Definitely inspired by Nirvana.
starlodear ...and not better but different and brilliant and yet
I can’t choose
I’ll have both albums
I hear more pearl jam influences than nirvana but they are both there
Do you think today's gen would "get this"
Happy Birthday today(July 31) to Bill Berry. Cheers!
He doesn't exactly dance like Michael Jackson, does he?
No he doesn't.. But why would you even say that???
He dances like Elvis sometimes.
He actually dances / moves much better
Have y'all noticed that magic Mike mentions speed on every album? Love him so much
I love this song. Not sure it wasn't a bigger hit for REM. It kicks ass.
A Question, Is There some official video of "Wake Up Bomb"?, it remindme of, but i'm not sure about that
so freaking good they were
I was waiting for this song when it came out.
I know you called
The best song off Monster.
They never made a bad song...how many bands can you say that about? Mott the Hoople and Joy Division is about it
When we pretend that we're dead.
When is the REM WEAR line of fashion coming out anyway?
HOLY SHIT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
6 people should never have been born....
Monster was their best album and Star 69 is one of my favorite REM tunes. Why so little attention paid to it?
Just say it's your favorite
What ? Monster was shit
You're right. This my favorite song off of Monster. I can only guess that the reason why this particular asskicking song didn't get the exposure and appreciation that it totally deserved is because the other, more subdued, songs were so solid. They were easier to accept so they overshadowed Star 69. I've really tried to figure it out because I love this song the most but I can't explain it otherwise.
that frekkid kicks butt.
I love Star 69. Allowed me to keep an open mind to Slipknot when they just started a little while after this period in time..
amazing, R.E.M
hell yeah!!
A magical time it was
Classic
U suit crazy great to see u having fun
My go-to song!
ignoramus 103
squirrelies didn't chew the wire!!!!!!!!!
I know!
aiyo hands up if you remember actually dialing *69 to see whose call you missed
Cutting edge technology in '95.
I still use it on landline
Amo!!! R. E.M.
ammo Stipe
THEY ARE THE BEST
Why was "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" the only Monster song ever on a compilation, they should've had all the singles, if not the whole album. Actually, all REM songs should be on their greatest hits.
On Feb 1995, I was over -3 years old. I should've been born a lot earlier!!!
Born late '58---Mott thy Hoople
Queen? Now I’m here. Down in the city, just Hoople and me..
uuff..!
muy muy bien.
Feb 7th 1995 I was 7.5 years old... Man, I should have been born much earlier to enjoy this great music live.
Saw them on this tour! GREAT shows! Front Row in Montreal and Floor in Atlanta! Wow, that was 17 years ago. Love the music of the early 90's. I saw them at the 40 Watt Club (I think) in the early 80's in Athens, GA
Mr. Stipe made it cool to be...........umm .......yerself. i have always applauded him. No one could pin him down. Until it was obvious, Anally Inflicted Death Sentence, Sometimes it hurts.
Whoever is in charge of this spinning asylum wouldn't allow him to catch that fucking virus...that that black woman for me
THANK U THANK U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved Mike's (bassist) dress attire around this period.
@bathroommonkey76 Saw them @ Duke w/10000 Maniacs, late 80s. First saw them in 1985, Reynolds HIGH SCHOOL (can you believe it?) Auditorium, Winston-Salem. Still have the tix stub. Amazing shows!
And the clock is another demon that divides our time in Eden
@Green057 agreed sir !
Peter Buck and that sweet (correct me if I'm wrong) single coil pick-up sound.
I will listen that song on year 2069
SUPER STIPE I PJESMA, SAVRŠENSTVO....
This video was recorded two weeks after I was born... huh...
One of the camera men must have drank too much and passed out next to the stage at a right angle..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:06-1:10 - epic posing. Great song, cool video.
@MultiNickDanger Yea you're right, current decade weak as shit filled with Popstars, X Factors, American fucking Idols. Muck. Still there has always been shit music. And equally there has always been great music, not matter what decade you're in.
@TrackMonkey327
what decade, the 90's? actually i'd say it's the current decade, the one now ending, that's not known for good music, or to be strictly accurate, IS known for shit music - the first half of the 90's, at least, was pretty strong
this tour was REM doing southern punk rock. real punk. its over now, the southern punk scene is over, and REM confirmed it with these tour dates. its not a send off, its a remembrance. thank you REM.
RIP REM...gone too soon
