I believe it's an anti-war song about agent orange in vietnam.

It's Orange Crush right off the 'Green' album? Huge fan of R.E.M but a lot of Stipes lyrics don't make much sense....

This sounds about right to me:
Quote:
The key clue is that Agent Orange, which was intended to kill plants in the Vietnam jungle had the very serious side effect of causing birth defects in the children of those who were exposed to it, and the main defect was spina bifida, a deformity of the spine. Someone suffering from that might wear special braces on the limbs, maybe a special collar.
There are far too many matches in the lyrics for this not to be correct. The powder was often dropped by circling helicopters (whirlybirds) in a war where the US troops were agents ("Agent", as in "Agent Orange") of the free because the country had sent its conscience overseas... there's no way this isn't what it's about.

Lyrics:
Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
High on the roof,
thin the blood,
another one on the waves tonight,
comin' in, you're home
We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and
centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
hell any county it's just like heaven here and I was remembering and I
was just in a differnet county and all then this whirlybird that I
headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I knew every back
road and every truck stop
Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
High on the roof,
thin the blood,
another one on the waves tonight,
comin' in, you're home |
