Calling all R.E.M. fans....

A while back, a band member left and a song was written about him with the line: "you wish you were an astronaut", or something like that, amongst other things.

What is the name of the song?

1/2, I'm an R.E.M. fan and tried to name that tune, but have given up for tonight. Here's the website I was using. On the left side of the page, click on Lyrics. It helps if you can narrow it down to which album it was on. Up was the next release after the member left the group, but I didn't find any lyrics like what you posted. Here's the link:
R.E.M.

Now it's bugging me, lol, so I'd be interested to know the answer when you find it.

Mak - Thanks for the link!

Now, let me explain that I'm doing this for Unit. With the help of your link, I believe (and so does Unit) that the song he was thinking about is "Hope" from the Up album.

I think "spaceship" confused him with "astronaut", rotfl....

Unit says that despite the goofy lyrics, it's a beautiful song. I'm just not so sure that it's about Bill Berry...??

Thanks again Mak!!!

Lol, 1/2 and Unit! You're very welcome. I'm glad the mystery is solved.

I had fun reading through some of the lyrics of songs that I always thought I knew the lyrics to. I was astonished to see the F word in one of their ballads. How did they slip that by me? lol

Hi everyone...On Monday, my DS has a Spanish test on the human body parts. Can someone help us figure out what body part are the 'cochetes'?

Thanks!

Lucy, I tried a translator program and found no recognition of the word "cochetes." I checked for "cachetes" and found that those are cheeks. I hope that helps.

Mware, Thank you so much!! I had a feeling that my DS may have spelled it wrong. Now he should certainly get an A on his test!!

Does anyone know if there is a website that provides questions you should ask when finding a real estate agent? I looked a bit but haven't found a thing. My mother just ended a contract with an absolute horrible agency. (BTW - she is selling not buying) We are trying to not let that happen again. I am going with her on any and all appointments when she goes real estate agency shopping. I like being prepared. :)

Thanks!

Hi Tagurit! I will do what I can to help you out here. My Aunt got elected as the president of the board of realators here in CA. I will send her off an email right now and see what I can find out-where are you from BTW?

Why do people say six on one hand half a dozen on the other... cause everytime I count I got five on one hand half of ten on the other? :o)

Jed, you are counting all wrong.

Holding all fingers up, start with the pinky. Count them 10, 9, 8, 7, and the thumb is 6. See, 6 on one hand!

Jed245

Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 6:55 pm   Edit Post Move Post Delete Post View Post    
Yeah, but, wouldn't that make the statement 6 on one hand and one on the other?

Cause then ya gotta go 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. :o)

I dunno?

It's like the other saying why do people say dumb as a box of rocks.... are rocks indivudally smart, but, as a group confused and stupid?

I've always heard it said, "six of one, half a dozen of the other".


I've never heard it with the hand reference.

Essentially it means, it is the same either way - doesn't matter. Six and a half dozen are just two ways to say the same thing.

Well,that makes more sense. I've never heard it said at all. Guess it must be an older saying. Thanks Spy,my useless info of the day .....:)

No, Jed, rocks are not individually smart. Rocks have no intelligences whatsoever, so a box of rocks is especially unintelligent.

ahh ok :o) well uhh what about when people say.... "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched"... well before they're hatched they are eggs, not chickens. Chickens don't hatch, eggs hatch.

Jed. :o)
