The song Tailspin is performed by Divine Comedy .
Huge tailspinâis the world gonna win?
Is the nation gonna open up and let us in?
Hard luck! Your policies s*ckâ
Your rhetoric will save your face, but not your skin
This timeâit's hard to define
So watch the leaves turn brown for the last time
Too late! You've sealed our fateâ
No returns, no emergency debate... but wait!
I hate unhappy endingsâand there doesn't have to be one!
Tailspinâyour hair's getting thin
****
****
Your rhetoric will save your face, but not your council estates
Geeâlife is cheap!
The forests pine and the willows weep
Checkmate! You've sealed our fateâ
The world is way past its sell-by date
Tailspinâis 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 endingsâand
THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ONE!
