You stop the crowd
I cried out to break the spell
You wake and smile
I just snapped and lost control

Distracted by irrelevance
The stress and the tension
The stress and the tension
I'm in a lull

There's nothing more dull
Then talking about yourself
But what I meant to say
I'm sorry that I lost control

Distracted by irrelevance
The stress and the tension
Crawling through the keyhole
I'm in a lull

    General Comment:Too short. It's so sweet and honest, and about two minuts in it ends. Its like "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix. So goood.... my favorite B(orA)side.

    General Comment:It seems to be about the time when you feel absolutely useless and can't control anything, can't do anything. Just lifeless, maybe, purposeless, in a funk, waiting to get out.

    General Comment:from Greenplastic.com:

    A very simple song featuring Jonny on the xylophone, "Lull" is personal in nature. It sees the singer inexplicably losing control, for which he is apologetic. The band have not yet officially played it live, but did soundcheck with it on some of their US August 97 dates.
