Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth — Martin L. Gore

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
