The best way to do this is to move (once), kill
everything, move again (once), and yank everything.

So use the kill *ring*.

When you yank, if it isn't what you like, do
(immediately after the yank) `M-y' for `yank-pop'.

You might also like:

    (defun yank-pop-back (&optional arg)
      (interactive "*p")
      (yank-pop (if arg (* arg -1) -1)) )

If you rely on it, bind it to some equally close and
fast key.
