Lyrics - Losing Faith In Words by Hammill Peter

I just can't see why you can't see what
I mean,but
I can't make things any plainer, the words get in the way -is that quite what
I mean?
If not now, then certainly sooner or laterwe've got a problem with communication -look,
I scrabble with my hands
I try to get some head-room from the elevationbut you just don't understand
Most of the things we say mean we most of the timetreat our speech with derision,flap our hands in body-telegram -
I know that gets throughso much better than anything said with precision.
We've got a problem with communicationand it's getting quite absurd...
Well,
I think
I'm going to flip out from the sheer frustration,yes,
I'm losing faith in words.
We've got a problem with communication,only getting through in anagrams -
I try to get some linkage from articulation,
I try to get some head-room from the elevation,
I try to pull back something from my education...
Yes,
I try to, try to, try to but
I just don't understand,
I try,
I just don't understand,
I talk, you just don't understand.
Sometimes
I don't know why
I bother,but
I'm bothered.
