Unseen Power of The Picket Fence is a song that appeared on the 1993 AIDS Benefit compilation No Alternative
It chronicles a time-period in the band R.E.M.’s career as well as comparing the band’s career to that of Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman.
Some bands I like to name check
And one of them is R.E.M.,
Classic songs with a long history
Southern boys just like you and me
R.E.M
Flashback to 1983
*Chronic Town* was their first EP
Later on came *Reckoning*
Finster's art and titles to match
"So. Central Rain", "(Don't Go Back to) Rockville"
"Harborcoat", "Pretty Persuasion"
You were born to be a camera
"Time After Time" was my least favorite song
"Time After Time" was my least favorite song
The singer, he had long hair
And the drummer he knew restraint
And the bass man he had all the right moves
And that guitar player was no saint
So let's go way back to the ancient times
When there were no 50 states
And on a hill, there stands Sherman
Sherman and his mates
And they're marching through Georgia
(We're marching through Georgia)
We're marching through Georgia
G-G-G-G-G-G-Georgia
They're marching through Georgia
We're marching through Georgia
Marching through Georgia
G-G-G-G-G-G-Georgia
And there stands R.E.M
(Aye Sir, Aye Sir, Aye Sir they're coming, Aye Sir, move those wagons, Aye
Sir, Artillery's in place Sir, Aye Sir, Aye Sir, hide it, hide it, Aye
Sir, run, run.)
Unseen Power of The Picket Fence was written by Scott Kannberg & Stephen Malkmus.
