Compression (Rutherford)
Released as B-side of "Waiting In Line" single, 1980.
And it really doesn't matter what you say or what you do After many years of being oh-so close, it's over I know you know, I know Now that I'm out in the cold with the lonely people Darling, darling, darling, darling, darling I never thought that I could feel so all alone Cos I will be whatever I should be, for you I know you know, I know Now that I'm out in the cold with the lonely people Darling, darling, darling, darling, darling You know it hurts me so, to be so all alone And though it's dark around us, I can see love in your eyes I've covered all the angles, nothing will be a surprise Cos I know that you know, I know you know That everything is better in the morning You've got to say that I, say that I I'm really out of place Oh, I know I'm a lucky boy Now that I'm out in the cold with the lonely people Darling, darling, oh darling, darling, darling It leaves me cold to think, it's after all these years You hear they tell me something, I can see that in your eyes And though I've covered all the angles, will it still be a surprise?

(Lyrics not available)
Featured on the soundtrack of "Against All Odds", 1984.
Did you ever wonder Just who's in control Underneath the surface Feel a different world I feel the knife in my shoulder But it doesn't hurt at all I'll still be the loser Whichever way I fall It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake(repeat)
I don't think you care Just what's goin' on They get some information for you Don't stay too long I can do what I want to And I could say what's in my mind I've gotta make some decisions I'm running out of time It's just a dream that I had and I'm making a big mistake(repeat)

I Think I've Got The Message (Rutherford/Neil)
Released as B-side of "Stop Baby" CD single, 1991.
I didn't get it, not at all When to run or when to crawl Consistency, that's not my game A whisper, then a shout My youthfulness, I sense today Forever may have fell away Reluctantly, I have to say It's time we talked things out Cos I think I've got the message I can hear you loud and clear You don't have to spell it out for me, my dear You don't have to paint a picture Or whisper in my ear Cos I think I've got the message, loud and clear I don't know what gets into me Makes me act so foolishly The steady hand, once in control Been missing, here of late I know it's been a bumpy ride So up and down, from side to side I'll get my head out of the clouds And try to see things straight Cos I think I've got the message I can hear you loud and clear You don't have to spell it out for me, my dear You don't have to paint a picture Or whisper in my ear Cos I think I've got the message, loud and clear You don't have to paint no picture Or whisper in my ear I think I've got the message loud and clear Yes, I think I've got the message Loud and clear
