The Spinning Top Song Lyrics


Well I made goot time but took some bad advice
I got lost in the salt lakes maybe once or twice
Days went missing, weeks they folded in two
I lost track of them. I don't pine for youYou're either on my arm or under my heel
Hurt me all you can, you don't know how good I feel
Everything I touch turns to purple and gold
I keep on living like this. I know I'll never get oldChorus:
I'm a spinning top, I'm a catherine wheel
I'm a sideshow freak, I'm a ribbon of steel
Listen good buddy to the words of my song
I never fade out cos I'm already gone, yoo-hoo
yeah yeah yeah, yodelay-hee-ho...
I'm an open cut I take too much dirt
I never close up I drink an ocean of hurt
I am a topless bar I make you feel alright
Flashing neon sign says "Open All Night"
(chorus)Well I'm cold and hungry but don't hold me tight
I just shake cos I'm living at the speed of light(chorus)

The band originated in Perth, Western Australia in the late 1970s. They went through various line-up changes until the early 1980s when they moved to Sydney and later Melbourne and released their first LP Treeless Plain. The band toured extensively in Europe and caught the attention of the UK music press, being featured on the cover of NME twice. Four albums followed - Born Sandy Devotional, In The Pines, Calenture and The Black Swan - before the group disbanded in 1989. David McComb and "Evil" Graham Lee joined The Blackeyed Susans while Martyn P Casey joined Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
