“Living Well’s the Best Revenge” is perhaps the best REM song in 10 years

“You savor your dying breath
I forgive but I don’t forget… we don’t forget
History forgets your blip on the screen

all your sad and false apostles
hum my name and flare their nostrils
choking on the bones you tossed to them
I’m not one to sit and spin but living well’s the best revenge
baby, I am calling, you aren’t there”

    I might agree with that. I’ve been singing this one ever since I saw them in Dublin. Though, I’ve been singing “Baby I am calling you all in,” which now sounds wrong.
