R.E.M. - Diminished Lyrics






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?
Does she know I sing
That song?
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)

I watched you fall.
I think I pushed.
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 defence?
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe diminished
Maybe I loved 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?
Does she know I sing
That song?
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)
Sing along (I will never hurt anything)

I have given myself away
I have given 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?

R.E.M. Diminished Comments
  1. J.... R....

    this song is simply perfection.

  2. A.... T....

    This song reminds of a day I spent in Napier.

  3. s.... m....

    All songs are great

  4. B.... M....

    Subtle sirens

  5. C.... G....

    stunning and haunting

  6. S.... E....

    It took guts for R.E.M. to continue after Bill Berry left the band; it took real commitment to still make great music during that period. They pulled it off. They still sound like R.E.M.

  7. S.... E....

    Beautiful.

  8. e.... 2....

    MAN is UP brilliant. SO underrated.

  9. d.... ....

    Love Stipe/Mills voice blend!

  10. S.... A....

    In some American states they don't care about diminished. There are very ill people in super max prisons

  11. M.... S....

    That slide guitar literally moves my mind in circle

  12. m.... b....

    Me encanta ! 2017 y aun suena en casa ...

  13. T.... S....

    Maybe i'm crazy, maybe it diminished..

  14. G.... B....

    This is R.E.M.'s best song. Shame it has so few views.

  15. A.... K....

    Great song but I extremely love the part of....SING ALONG!!!

    A.... K....

    sounds so weird that "sing along" is the best part of the song but it is!

    A.... K....

    Not weird at all ... This is R.E.M. we 're talking about :) "Weird", insofar as Michael Stipe is concerned, is a completely different concept, not the "normally" perceived one ! In this light, it does actually make a lot of sense ;)

    A.... K....

    right, sing alooooooong

  16. �.... �....

    Greatness sounds like that.

  17. t.... ....

    Up my favorites album

  18. S.... A....

    I have loved this since the 1990s, REM you are timeless.
