Name: World Keeps Whirling
Duration: P00H04M41S
Description: When I wrote this song I had no idea how topical it would be at release. The human spirit is strong - but for whatever reason some people are just not in the same head space as the majority of good, kind-hearted people. Let's see through this and persevere. Each day brings a renewed chance. Stay strong. x

When I wrote this song I had no idea how topical it would be at release. The human spirit is strong - but for whatever reason some people are just not in the same head space as the majority of good, kind-hearted people. Let's see through this and persevere. Each day brings a renewed chance. Stay strong. x

lyrics

It's cold inside and the lights are dim
Thinkers thought about the sinners sin
And still they sat like statuettes
While the world it whirled and the grinners grinned

And the world
Keeps on whirling
Better
Hold on

Well it's ten past two and the verdicts in
Lovers love but do they find wisdom?
And still they lay like marionettes
While the stars they starred in their lonely heads

The singer she sang about the mess we're in
Dance dance in oblivion
And soon they crumple up like serviettes
While the sun it rose and set again
