Titolo: Pavement

Recentemente ho comprato la ristampa di Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
(LA's desert orgins), un album dei Pavemente gruppo lo-fi anni '90.
E ascoltando la canzone "unseen power of the picket fence" ho sentito
alcune parole, come dire, "familiari"...e mi sono andato a cercare il
testo:
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 - it's nineteen eighty threee
chronic town was their first EP
later on came Reckoning
Finster's art, and titles to match
South Central Rain
Don't Go Back to Rockville, Harbourcoat
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 bassman, he had all the right moves
and the guitar player was no saint
so lets go way back
to the ancient times
when there were no fifty states
and on a hill, there stands sherman
sherman and his mates
they're marchin thru georgia
marchin thru georgia
they're marchin thru georgia
g g g g georgia
they're marchin thru georgia
we're marchin thru georgia
marchin thru georgia
g g g g georgia
and there stands R.E.M.
...ne sapevate qualcosa??

nel frattempo ho trovato questo 
http://www.leisuresuit.net/Webzine/articles/pavement_interview.shtml
"Pavement has mentioned other bands, artists and songs before, one of
the most famous is the R.E.M. resumé recital on "Unseen Power of the
Picket Fence" from the Red Hot Charity collection "No Alternative."
Video director Lance Bangs introduced Pavement to the Georgia pop
giants when they came through Lexington, Kentucky. In their hotel
suite, after Michael Stipe entered naked from a shower (it is unclear
whether he thought the room empty), everyone had a chuckle over the
song, and later that night, before tens of thousands of screaming
fans, Stipe dedicated a set of songs to Pavement."
E poi nello stesso album è presente anche una cover di Camera, però
con un testo che a me sembra evidentemente diverso, solo che non
riesco a trovarlo...

riesco a trovarlo...
mi era sfuggito, grazie! 
anche perchè la cover è presente sono nella riedizione del classico
dei Pavement (quella di 2 cd)
il testo dovrebbe essere :
In the corporate layers 
In the offices of double digit floors 
Verse  Eyes had a way with moves 
It's a shame he never played 
Never learned the way to remind you 
I've gotta remember 
Do you remember my trust Laws 
Acsending(Descending from a crowd 
And all the city streets are loud 
You were born to be a camera                 Course 
And all (Hazy) 
A Pocket of memories 
An installation set upon the bedroom floor 
Makes you sing about the photographs before 
Before you end up the lazy (hazy) store 
(More) Bag their ass for more 
Ascending from a crowd 
The city streets are too loud (Too Loud) 
(You were) You were born (Born) To be a camera 
AND ALL THE FLUTTERS SHUT
