diminished

up gibi kusursuz bir albümden çıkan kusursuz rem şarkısı. sözleri ve müziğiyle sessiz ve derinden adamın ağzına sıçan bir şarkıdır bu. girişini bir başka severim lakin, michael stipe "sing along" derken alır götürür sizi bir yerlere.

i watched you fall.
i think i pushed.
maybe i'm crazy
maybe diminished
maybe i'm innocent
maybe i'm finished
maybe i blacked out.
how do i play this?

i will give my best today
i will give myself away
i have never hurt anything
is the jury wavering?
do they know i sing?

maybe i'm crazy
maybe diminished
how do i,
how do i play this?

jealous lover, self defence
protective brother, chemical dependence
i'll consult the i-ching
i'll consult the tv
ouija, oblique strategies.
i'll consult the law books for precedents.
can i charm the jury?

i will give my best today
i will give myself away
i have never hurt anything
is the justice wavering?
do they know i sing that song? sing along
sing along
sing along
(i will never hurt anything)

i watched you fall.
maybe they'll see me,
maybe they'll say,
"i can see the truth in his statement.
smallpox blanket. no way."
can i charm the jury, my defense? maybe i'm crazy
maybe diminished
maybe i love you
baby i loved you
baby i loved you
baby i loved you
baby i'm finished.

i will give my best today
i will give myself away
i have never hurt anything
is the justice wavering?
do they know i sing that song? sing along
sing along
sing along
(i will never hurt anything)
i have given myself away
i will give my best today
i have never hurt anything
is the justice wavering?
does she know i loved you?
does she know i loved you?
does she know i sing?

i feel great.
i lied to save your feelings.
truth convened, my head smashed through the ceiling.
i lost an arm, no one harmed, you diplomatically alarmed.
i sulked away to lick my thin skin.
i'm not over you.
i'm not over you.
i'm not over you.
