Richard Thompson - Just The Motion lyrics

When you're rocked on the ocean, rocked up and down, don't worry When you're spinning and turning round and around, don't worry You're just feeling sea-sick, you're just feeling weak Your mind is confused and you can't seem to speak It's just the motion, it's just the motion When the landlord is knocking and your job is losing, don't worry And the baby needs rocking and your friends are confusing, don't worry You're just feeling sea-sick, you're just feeling weak Your mind is confused and you can't seem to speak Oh, it's just the motion, it's just the motion Blown by a hundred winds, knocked down a hundred times Rescued and carried along. Beaten and half-dead and gone And it's only the pain that's keeping you sane And gives you a mind to travel on Oh the motion won't leave you, won't let you remain, don't worry It's a restless wind and a sleepless rain, don't worry Cause under the ocean at the bottom of the sea You can't hear the storm, it's as peaceful as can be It's just the motion, it's just the motion Blown by a hundred winds, knocked down a hundred times Rescued and carried along. Beaten and half-dead and gone And it's only the pain that's keeping you sane And gives you a mind to travel on Oh the motion won't leave you, won't let you remain, don't worry It's a restless wind and a sleepless rain, don't worry Cause under the ocean at the bottom of the sea You can't hear the storm, it's as peaceful as can be It's just the motion, it's just the motion It's just the motion, it's just the motion
