   I Won't Try
   Better Than Before
   Wish
   Counting Days
 
 
 
I Won't Try
by Paul Thomson, Copyright Control
 
She lies silent in my eyes
Catch a scent, she tries to hide
Coiling smoothly through herself
She is fear to someone else
And I would go a long, long way
If she should ever try to get away
 
Patterns like distortion,
I twist in worm contortion
 
And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, I won't try
etc.
 
She lies shaking with no sound
Checking through the sensurround
Throws a sudden smile at me
Smiles as far as I can see
And I would go a long long way
Just to see her smile
To make her stay.
 
 
 
Better Than Before
by Paul Thomson, Copyright Control
 
Waited for her to call
Waited for her to end it all this way
Waited for the sound
Then there'd be no sense in running round
And I don't care about it
I don't cry about it
I just die<
 
You can't take this too much more
But find its better than before
 
Better than before
 
Thought I'd seen it all
Thought I'd seen it always done that way
Which is what I found
Then there'd be no sense in running around
And I don't care about it
I don't cry about it
I just die
 
CHORUS
 
We used to say
Everything would be OK
Now it seems
You take a hammer to my dreams
 
 
 
Wish
by Paul Thomson, Copyright Control
 
I will sacrifice my day
For the day she goes away
She lies deeper inside me
Than I could ever be
I was always in the wrong
I was crying all along
Now I can't see what to say
Can't see how to make you stay
 
And I don't know what to say
Say it all a different way
And I don't know how to say
I wish you'd never gone away
 
I will teach myself to smile
I won't think just for a while
She lies deeper inside me
Than I could ever be
I was always looking down
While it was happening all around
Now I can't see what to say
See no cause for me to stay
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
Counting Days
by Paul Thomson, Copyright Control
 
Go ahead and let it die
We can't see it till you try
We can throw it all away
Maybe then we'd feel OK
 
Cos we've been down on a
Real good time and I
Think its time we all
Settled down and
 
Try to get it back
 
You say you never had the time
So its all gone and that's just fine
We could stop but its too late
Its easier to deteriorate
 
Cos....
 
Chorus
 
We're just sitting
Sitting counting days
We can't even pay the price
To find a better way
