Tailspin Lyrics - Divine Comedy

Huge tailspin—is the world gonna win? 

Is the nation gonna open up and let us in? 

Hard luck! Your policies suck— 

Your rhetoric will save your face, but not your skin 

This time—it's hard to define 

So watch the leaves turn brown for the last time 

Too late! You've sealed our fate— 

No returns, no emergency debate... but wait! 

I hate unhappy endings—and there doesn't have to be one!

Tailspin—your hair's getting thin 

**** 

**** 

Your rhetoric will save your face, but not your council estates 

Gee—life is cheap! 

The forests pine and the willows weep 

Checkmate! You've sealed our fate— 

The world is way past its sell-by date 

Tailspin—is the world gonna win? 

Tailspin's on the outside looking in 

Tailspin, I repent my sins 

But when I get to heaven will you let me in? 

Tailspin, save our kin, save our skin...

The message we are sending is a very real one 

The world we are defending could be a very green one 

We hate unhappy endings—and 

THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ONE!
