This Quality Won't Come Again, Completely Overwhelmed with nothing... "_________" (is it "Compare The")Quiet To The Pain Just Tell Them Everything is Perfect...
The rest would be helpful.. thats the issue with digital distribution purchase it and no lyrics; I'll buy the CD (OR THE VINYL!!) as well I just wanted it at midnight.

Hey, wind! Welcome! All of the lyrics are actually posted already under the Discography section. Here they are:
"Wind Won't Howl"
This quality won't come again Completely overwhelmed with nothing Compare the quiet to the pain Just tell them everything is perfect
Well the camera get what the camera take And it's all gone, all gone And the wind won't howl if the window break And we're all gone Well the indian want what the camera take But it's all gone And the guard go home when the jailhouse break Cause they're all gone
This quality won't come again Completely overwhelmed with nothing Compare the quiet to the pain Just tell them everything is perfect
We were already down before We were already down on the floor

This is my most listened-to song of OSI, disregarding Bigger Wave which was released 6 years earlier.
I'm intrigued by the way Kevin uses simple and unrelated expressions to write lyrics.
I think this song is about unfulfillable nature of this life.
Every moment is of high quality and we are missing it so it won't come again. Even if we do great things with our time, in the end there's still something missing. We don't always get what we want and if we taste the pain of failure or unfulfilled desires/emotions we'd remain wandering what if we had stayed passive/quiet rather than pursuing something that in the end proved to be nothing (nothing in the sense that it wasn't what we wanted!) And we can simply tell others that everything is perfect even when we know that we are lying but it proves to be more socially acceptable in life.
"We were already down before We were already down on the floor"
I think above lines can be at least interpreted in two ways:
1- admitting to oneself (after being let down or failed) that we were nothing from the beginning. Realizing this wouldn't make someone low in stature but just realizing that our immaterial needs always remain in question even though physically we may be filled.
2- conveying to those who mistreat us or cause our failure (as in relationships or at the hands of politician, bankers and religious leaders) that you cannot harm us because we were already down and never expected anything special from you.
