well I think the song is about a band in a bar on a weeknite. playing to a very small crowd.. mostly kitchedn staff... ahem,, and a one and a rwo...... Up to par in Katies bar Some kitchen staff, but not many in, something something.

waisting time sitting still thank you

Swagbag had it right. Stipe wrote the song about his sister who was a teacher at a school for hearing impaired kids. I read this in an magazine years ago and have never listened to the song the same way. If you read the lyrics, this is one REM song that is actually easier (in my opinion) than others to detemine what Stipe was singing about.

Still the best band ever.
