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 so dull
As talking, talking 'bout 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

 

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.
