Compulsion

Charms in limited Supply
And Refusing to Stretch
That indefinable nothing
Somehow keeps pushing you

Chorus:
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen
Got to move on sometime
And It's about time
by putting one foot in front of another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn't have put it more plainly
Got to move on sometime

Charms in limited supply
Under threat of extinction
That indefinable nothing
Somehow motivates You
(chorus)

In A Manner of Speaking

In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
by saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But what I feel for you
Is beyond words

Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live
We only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
by saying nothing

Oh, give the words...

Smile in the Crowd

You turned me away
Away from your actions
Forced by the violence
That always surrounds you

(chorus)
I want your special smile
A smile in the crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in the crowd

You burn't Yourself out
In that silence
I have to tell you
I ache for you still

The sound of my words
is always so shocking
They get much louder
Each time I speak

(repete chorus)

Signals of progress
We're growing much older
I'm afraid that I'll leave
And my ache never goes.

(repete chorus)

Gone

So tired, so soon
What happened to you
What happened to you
You got lost
Somewhere between
There and Here
Somewhere between
So far, so near
You got lost
Somewhere between
What happened to you

Someone has been removed
What happened to her (2x)
She got lost somewhere between there and here
Somewhere so far, so near
She got lost somewhere between
Whta happened to her

You used to be so young (2x)

It was going to take so long it had almost gone

What is his name

Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth

When she's on her best behaviour
Don't be tempted by her favours
Never turn you back on mother earth

Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me
Never turn you back on mother earth

Grasp at straws that don't want grasping gaze at clouds
That come down crashing
Never turn you back on mother earth

Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return to my friends, to my friends
Never turn you back on mother earth

I'll admit i was unfaithful but from now on
I'll be more faithful
Never turn you back on mother earth

Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long way from home

True believer
