lyrics

The Spinning Room
Written by Matthew Ryan, Marc Byrd
and Andrew Thomson

Let's draw a curtain on this scene
I'm not judgmental, I'm not mean
But there's a bad vibe in this bar
Outside there's somewhere under the stars
All this neon makes me sick
Know your limits, that's the trick
I should've known when we walked in
First Kesha, then Eminem then...
1 shot
2 shots
3 shots
Boom
4 shots
5 shots
6 shots
The spinning room
I love everybody
I love everyone
I'm not leaving too soon
I'll finish when I'm done
Have you met my new friend Tito?
He's a generous guy
He said the red ones keep you grounded
But it's the blue ones you should try

A transformative album that absolutely captures the essence of hammock, yet is unique all onto itself. The vocals are absolutely wonderful. The lyrics are moving. Another brilliant production, that you can listen to from start to finish without having to skip any tracks. Well done!! Jasen Speed
