Saying it all in less than three minutes

Here are five of the best songs whose lyrics, in my opinion, say all they need to say in less than three minutes:

• Depending On Gravity-Pierce Pettis (This is possibly the best set of love-as-a-tightrope lyrics I've heard, as they're brave, concise, and honest.  i.e. "I could fall for you, depending on gravity.")
• She Had To Fly-The Family Tree (Despite her leaving, the singer hopes for his beloved's return, inviting her to "come on home."  From the easy, sunny groove established, you get the feeling that she'll probably return.)
• She May Call You Up Tonight-The Left Banke (The Left Banke is best known for its strong hit single, "Walk Away Renee," but deserves just as much acclaim for this great blend of piano and vocal harmonies.)
• That's The Way It Goes-The Manhattan Transfer (Four stellar voices in top form; seek out the group's concert performance of it with The Boston Pops, conducted by John Williams.  That version is even more captivating than the studio version, which is saying a lot.)
• Where Is The Love-Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway (If you don't pay attention to the lyrics, the song's breezy arrangement might make you think this is one of the happiest tales ever told; it isn't, by any means, and that makes the dichotomy of the song's arrangement and its lyrics interesting.)
