Haig

"Good-morning; good-morning!" the General said

When we met him last week on our way to the line.

Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of ’em dead,

And we’re cursing his staff for incompetent swine.

"He’s a cheery old card," grunted Harry to Jack

As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack.
But he did for them both by his plan of attack.

Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

(Stand, REM, Around The Sun 2004)

Wild Wild Life

- Here on this mountaintop - Woahoho - I got some wild, wild life -

- I got some news to tell ya - Woahoho -

- About some wild, wild life -

- Here comes the doctor in charge - Woahoho -

- She's got some wild, wild life - Ain't that the way you like it? -

- Ho, ha! - Living wild, wild life -
