lyrics

NERVOUS INDIVIDUAL

An emotional reaction
By a nervous individual
Stopped the clocks of reason
And left me standing here
They said it was freezing
When you're by yourself
No one's pumping the heart
And there's no one left to tell

That you're a nervous individual ticking away
That you're a nervous individual and a crowd all by yourself

Self concerned with preservation
You scare them off
With ease like
You are playing for keeps
Never in their dreams
have they seen a human being
With such intensity
You oughtta see 'em run

chorus

And the earth keeps moving under your feet
You're a nervous individual and a crowd all by yourself

You take a slap in the face too personally
I would never had said a word had I known
Too scared to talk much you hold things in
Till it get unbearable then you explode unexpectedly

about

Jeff Smith Virginia

Inspired and influenced by early country, blues, rock and pop
Jeff Smith writes songs and tells elongated and elliptical stories about them. Jeff's Appalachian drawl slides in and around his guitar playing and Smith says “on a good night the stories and songs swing on top of a funky kind of country blues pop stomp”. Now residing in the swamps of Virginia, Smith performs club gigs and
concerts.
