“All the best” is a sign-off, a complimentary closing, a goodbye. This whole song is Stipe saying he’s over it all, especially the part about him playing rock star, “So over me.” I like how he compares himself to Quasimodo endlessly ringing the church bell until no one can stand it anymore. He want...
[Verse 1]
So over me
So pie in my face
So talk to me
Tell me where to place this
In my Quasimodo heart
That's where I slipped and fell
I rang the church bell 'til my ears bled
Red blood cells
[Chorus]
I think I'll sing and rhyme
I'll give it one more time
I'll show the kids how to do it
Fine, fine, fine
[Verse 2]
I hold the mirror up
You tell me what is what
You tell me which part of my story, baby, stuck stuck stuck
I'm in a part of your dreams
That you don't even understand
It's just like me to overstay my welcome, man
[Chorus]
Let's sing and rhyme
Let's give it one more time
Let's show the kids how to do it
Fine, fine, fine
Fine
[Verse 3]
I just had to get that off my chest
Now it's time to get on with the best
All the best, all the best
All the best, all the best, best, best
It's just like me to overstay my welcome, bless
[Chorus]
Let's sing and rhyme
Let's give it one more time
Let's show the kids how to do it
Fine, fine, fine
Let's sing and rhyme
Let's give it one more time
Let's show the kids how to do it
Fine, fine, fine
Fine
