Turning Round Lyrics


Flying, I thought I'd never learn that flying,
I thought I'd spend my whole life trying,
For flying is that ancient art of keeping one foot on the ground...
Lying, I thought I'd never keep from lying,
I thought I'd lose it all by sighing,
For lying is that ancient art of hiding words that will never be found.
Crying, I thought I'd never stop that crying,
I thought I'd always dream of dying,
For crying is that ancient art of weeping rivers into the ground.
Oh dying, I thought I'd never see that dying,
I thought I'd spend my whole life flying,
For dying is that ancient art of keeping one world turning round.
Sighing, I thought I'd never keep from sighing,
I thought I'd always be there crying,

For sighing is that ancient art of breathing sadness all around.
And trying, I thought I'd spend my seasons trying,
I thought I could stop myself from lying,
For trying is that ancient art of proving that the world is round.
Oh flying, oh oh, lying, oh oh, crying, oh oh, sighing, oh oh,
Trying, oh oh and dying, oh oh,
For dying it that ancient art of growing flowers in the ground, yes it is

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Press: John Peel Session BBC1 London, 2003 "Turning Round" is my favorite pure rock'n'roll track of the past few years. Think "Honky Tonk Woman" if it'd been written by the sorely missed Exploding Hearts. And half the fun is the lyrics' intelligibility: "Jack loose that colored glass"? "Pray for rented cracks"? You'll high-kick your groin away.--Pitchfork Five Stars! Seriously good new NY three-piece who sound like The Kings of Leon look- half New York punk energy, half good 'ole boy country twang. Perfect music for joyriding a tractor through the East Village. Maxim U.K.
