about

We are only a few wrong turns away from being lost.

lyrics

A boy of seventeen and he got locked up for laughing
Cos his mother never told him he could be a sailor
So he got blown away by the winds of misfortune
And he landed in deep water with an arm full of sewage

And the crime of unfeelin’ struck again
Well it’s told and told and told how God loves a poor man
Listen to the broken hearts and say that we understand
But have you listened to the jabberings and abuse of the vagrants
Who stumble to be understood in a world that’s forgot them

And the crime of unfeelin’, the crime of not understanding struck again
And if we just dig an inch from the surface
If we just dig an inch from anyone
We’ll all feel bare

Pretty girl I knew once and she once had a family
She took on board a problem and her family well they lost her
Cos’ they didn’t know the difference between loving and duty
And while other people soiled her they washed their hands

And the crime of unfeelin’, the crime of not understanding struck again
And if we just dig an inch from the surface
If we just dig an inch from anyone
We’ll all feel bare

I could sit and talk to you like this for hours
And to you it might not make much sense
But usually the words unsaid are usually the most intense
So come on take a tip from a caged up bird
Compensate your prison by singing a verse

And maybe this crime of unfeeling
Yeah maybe this crime of not understanding
Yeah this crime of not sharing
Will go unfed, it will go unfed, go unfed, it will go unfed
And if we just dig an inch from the surface
If we just dig an inch from anyone
We’ll all feel bare
Dig an inch (repeat)
