![]() Wishville (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
Recent years were unsung
I light 'em up
Burning my horoscope
Recent fears I've undone
I give 'em up
Sick of my bogus ghost
Rising up it reached my highest line
C'mon Daisy don't drown me this time
I'm living in fits can't get myself ripped
Don't make me no criminal
I'm easily moved, it don't leave me no room
Don't make me no criminal
Rising up it reached my highest line
I had bad ideas and ballast on my mind
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
Recent fears about love
I string 'em up
These are my robust ropes
There'll be no more tears I'm unplugged
Let's live it up
Easy come easy go
Falling down gave me my highest line
So c'mon Daisy don't drown me this time
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
Falling down I reached my highest line
I've got a good idea what breaks you makes you shine
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Turning on the boosters
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
(so c'mon Daisy don't drown me this time)

| Bad_Art (Outa' Space -- EVE Online) | Posted: Sep 01, 2010 - 17:15 Has just a bit of energy ya' think? |
| Synth80s (*Beautiful* Southern California (cough, choke, honk)) | Posted: May 29, 2010 - 00:18 Look, I'm a HUGE Catherine Wheel and Rob Dickinson fan, but this is not one of their better songs or albums. I saw them twice on this, their swan song tour and they still had the goods live. Anything on 'Adam & Eve' beats this by a mile. Still, I can't remember the last time I heard Catherine Wheel on the radio, so... |
| Byronape (Purgatory) | Posted: Apr 27, 2010 - 07:35 This is another "good pair of headphones required" songs. |

They both took the name from a medieval torture device, also known as a "breaking wheel". There is also a firework with the same name, from which "sparks do fly" when lit. |

Not really that overlooked. This song rocks, but the rest of the album not so much. |
