Song Lyrics by Album
Compulsion
author: Steven John Stepien
Charms in limited supply and refusing to stretch
That indefinable nothing somehow keeps pushing you
Finding the right words can be a problem
How many times must it be said theres 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 sometimes
Got to move on sometimes
Got to move on sometimes
Got to move on sometimes
***
Charms in limited supply under threat of extinction
That indefinable nothing somehow motivates you
Finding the right words can be a problem
How many times must it be said theres no plan it had to happen
***
Got to move on sometimes 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 sometimes
In A Manner Of Speaking
author: Winston Tong
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 the may I feel about 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 Semantiks 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 me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
Smile In The Crowd
author: Vini Reilly
You turned me away
Away from your actions
Forced by the violence
That always surrounds you
***
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
***
You burnt 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
***
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
***
Signals of progress
We're growing much older
I'm afraid that I'll leave
And my ache never goes
***
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
Gone
author: Helge Slikker, Ilco Slikker, Reinier Gerardus Rijnsoever Van, Christiaan Niels Rooij De
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
What happened to her, she got lost
Somewhere between there and here
Somewhere between so far so near
***
She got lost
Somewhere between
What happened to her
***
You used to be so young
Used to be so young
It was going to take so long
It had almost gone
***
What is his name
What is his name
What is his name
Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth
author: Ron Mael
When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favors
Never turn your back on mother earth
***
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that look so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth
***
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your 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 your back on mother earth
***
I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now on I'll be more faithful
***
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother earth
Motherless Child
author: Traditional, Eric Patrick Clapton
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
***
A long way from home
A long way from home
True believer
A long way from home
A long way from home
