Lyrics[]
Spiral, torn from the tone arm
Waking up the track
Dormant in the black valley of the vinyl
Spiral, dug by the diamond
Running it around, turn it into sound
Entering my spinal
Got to play all my favourite 45's
Stacked way up high
Well everyday I spin away my 45's
Help me to fly
Spiral
Spiral, ripped from the record
Roll into the room, dissipate the gloom
Happiness eternal
Spiral, pulled from the plastic
Angel choirboys, devilish the noise
Heavenly infernal
Got to play all my favourite 45's
Ten thousand times
Every day I spin away my 45's
Help me to climb up
Spiral
Spiral, torn from the tone arm
Waking up the track
Dormant in the black, valley of the vinyl
Spiral, dug by the diamond
Running it around, turn it into sound
Entering my spinal
Got to play all my favourite 45's
Oh how they give
Every day I spin away my 45's
How else do I live?
