Martin Gore - Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth Lyrics

When she's on her best behaviour Don't be tempted by her favours 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
When she's on her best behaviour
Don't be tempted by her favours
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
