Song lyrics

Earth, sky, sea and rain

Is she coming back again?

Men of straw, snooker hall

Words that build or destroy

Dirt dry, bone, sand and stone

Barbed wire fence cut me down

I'd like to be around in a spiral staircase

To the higher ground


And I, like a firework, explode

Roman candle, lightning, lights up the sky

In cracked streets, trample underfoot

Side-step, sidewalk

I see you stare into space

Have I got closer now, behind the face?


Oh, tell me, sharing a dance with me

Turn me around tonight

Up through the spiral staircase to the higher ground

Slide show, seaside town

Coca-cola, football radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio
