Coriander Blues

from Ferris Wheel by Shiny and the Spoon

/

lyrics

They stuck me in the back with my stomach in my shoes
And I played like they told me to
Two by two swingin’ softly in the noose
Where they strung up the best in you (best in you, best in you)

Dummy entertainers with nothin’ left to lose
Separate from the wood and glue
They fill an acre with coriander blues
But today this old room’ll do (room’ll do, room’ll do)

It’s better the strings are broken
Than set and bound
Fillin’ up the seats with hope and sound

It’s better the strings are broken
Than set and bound
Fillin’ up the seats with hope and sound (sound, sound)
