Lyrics The Downward Pull Of Human Nature - John Martyn

Consider This consider that
Consider this gotta consider this and that

Did you ever look sideways at your best friend′s wife
Ever consider that sweet married life
Did your mind run riot you know who you were
Ever get the feeling that you moved too far

It's the downward pull of human nature
Coming to take you home
It′s just the downward pull of human nature
Coming to take you by storm

Ever get so drunk that you fell without falling
Did you feel that six foot destiny calling you home
Did you hear that siren roar in the night
Find out you were wrong trying to believe you were right

It's the downward pull of human nature
It's coming to try you on
It′s just the downward pull of human nature
Coming trying to take your soul by storm
Here it comes
Did you ever go crazy and try to hurt the one you love
The very next day you have to beg for forgiveness fro the power
You know your pride will always be your fall
You know one day you will wither like a flower in the dawn

Its′ the downward pull of human nature
It's coming to try you on
It′s just the downward pull of human nature
It's coming to take your heart by storm

While yesterday looking at your best friends wife
You know you never considered the joys of that sweet married life
I saw your mind run riot remember who you are
You know the feeling when you′ve gone a step to far

It's just the downward pull of human nature
It′s coming everyday to take you on
Just that downward pull of human nature
Coming to take you by storm
It's just that downward pull of human nature
Coming to try it on
The downward pull of human nature
Just trying to take you by storm
