Spinning Song - Live At The Sydney Opera House
Once there was a song that yearned to be sung
It was the spinning song about the king of rock and roll
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
She tended the castle garden, and in the garden she planted a tree
The garden tree was a stairway 16 branches high
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
And the king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
But the feather spun upward, upward and upward
Spinning all the weather vanes
And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio
And I love you, and I love you
And I love you, and I love you
And I love you, and I love you
And I love you
Peace will come, peace will come, peace will come in time
Time will come, time will come, time will come for us
Peace will come, peace will come, peace will come in time
Time will come, time will come, time will come for us
Fuckin' Sydney
Hello
Balcony people
This is our last show
We've been on tour in Australia and it's, I don't know
What to say about that except that it's been incredibly moving thing for us
To be able to come back here and play
This is the final show and so, I don't know
Go wild
Tear the Sydney Opera House to pieces
Rip up the seats and stuff like that
Warren is going to sing this song
