Warbles - Spin Me Away Lyrics

Take your time, take your time
Lay me out and thread it through me
My lips have gone cold; you're alright

Here's to chance, here's to choice
To the chaos in the cupboard
As the trains rattle by in the night

Spin me away
Apple seed is pigeon feed
Just spin me away

Wind me up, reel me in
Wrap me tight around the spindle
Hear me whine, watch me twirl, let me go

You return, you retreat
Ceaseless coming, endless going
It's the cheapest sensation I know

Spin me away
Apple seed is pigeon feed
Just spin me away

Momma loves her baby
Don't you know it's true
And daddy loves his baby
Just as much as a man can do

As much as a man can do
You know he'd do it to you

You're measured out in minutes
When the thread is spun
Just keep your head down
And don't look up to no one

Mister am I gonna get paid today
Need a dollar got a daughter on the way

She won't know the worst of it
She'll never know
Daddy's fled from momma's bed
She'll never know

Mister am I gonna get paid today
Need a dollar got a daughter on the way
Mister am I gonna get paid today
Can't work another fourteen hour day

Can't work another fourteen hour day, no way
Need a dollar got a daughter on the way
Mister am I gonna get paid today
Need a dollar got a daughter on the way

Brittle words, crippled birds
Making promises like pigeons
When there's only one vow we can keep

Idly I made one too
Never dreamt I'd have to break it
With the shears to my heart
We were pinned from the start
So I'll spare her and snip her away
