Good Advices

by R.E.M.

on Fables Of The Reconstruction (1985)

[Verse 1]
When you greet a stranger
Look at his shoes
Keep your money in your shoes
Put your trouble behind
When you greet a stranger
Look at her hands
Keep your money in your hands
Put your travel behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Who are you going to call for?
What do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away

[Chorus 1]
At the end of the day, I'll forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave
And see you from a long way away

[Verse 2]
When you greet a stranger
Look at his shoes
Keep your memories in your shoes
Put your travel behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Who are you going to call for?
What do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away

[Chorus 2]
At the end of the day
When there are no friends
When there are no lovers
Who are you going to call for?
What do you have to change?
A familiar face, a foreign place
I'll forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave
And see you from a long way away

[Outro]
Who are you going to call for?
What do you have to say?
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away
