Sophie Coran - Spinning Record Lyrics

I try and I try and I try and I try
Slow to live, quick to die
A bird with its wings will fly
I try and I try and I try and I try

Boredom's turned everything grey
Time stands so still throughout another day
Autopilot, never awake
TV static, a lover who drifts away

And I don't know how you did it
I always try but then I quit it
And I don't want to admit it
A daily struggle just to exist

And the record keeps on spinning,
Another day another minute
Drop the needle in the middle
The spinning record keeps me in it

I try and I try and I try and I try
Slow to live, quick to die
A bird with its wings will fly
I try and I try and I try and I try

Train cars move flawlessly
Faceless faces, I'm running on empty
Stuck in neutral, with nowhere to be
Flung from space, into the silent sea

And I don't know how you did it
I always try but then I quit it
And I don't want to admit it
A daily struggle just to exist

And the record keeps on spinning,
Another day another minute
Drop the needle in the middle
The spinning record keeps me in it

I try and I try and I try and I try
Slow to live, quick to die
A bird with its wings will fly
I try and I try and I try and I try

I try and I try and I try and I try
Slow to live, quick to die
A bird with its wings will fly
I try and I try and I try and I try
