Erik Glambek :
The build up
Lasted for days
Lasted for weeks
Lasted too long
Our hero
Withdrew
When there was two
He could not choose one
So there was none
Worn into the vaguely announced
Worn into the vaguely announced
Feist :
The spinning top
Made a sound
Like a train
Across the valley
Fading
Oh so quiet
But constant 'til it passed
Over the ridge
Into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
The spinning top
Made a sound
Like a train
Across the valley
Fading
Oh so quiet
But constant 'til it passed
Over the ridge
Into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
The spinning top
Made a sound
Like a train
Across the valley
Fading
Oh so quiet
But constant 'til it passed
Over the ridge
Into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
When to get off
When to get off
When to get off
