Spike Island

Something stopped me dead in my tracks

I was heading for disaster and then I turned back

I was wrestling with a coat hanger, can you guess who won?

The universe shrugged, shrugged then moved on

It's a gift, no idea

It's a feeling

Not a voice in my head

Just a feeling

And by the way

Spike island, come alive

And by the way

This time I'll get it right, oh

Not a shaman, or a showman, ashamed I was selling the rights

I took a breather and decided not to ruin my life

I was conforming to a cosmic design, I was playing to type

Until I walked back to the garden of earthly delight

I was born to perform

It's a calling

I exist to do this

Shouting and pointing

And by the way

Spike island, come alive

And by the way

This time I'll get it right, oh

No one can ever understand it

And no one will ever have the last word

Because it's not something you could ever say

So swivel

Ahh, it's a gift, no idea

It's a feeling

Not a voice in my head

Just a feeling

And by the way

Spike island, come alive

And by the way

This time I'll get it right, oh

And by the way

Spike island, come alive

And by the way

This time I'll get it right, oh
