Cartwheels Lyrics
I'm doing cartwheels. I'm doing cartwheels. I'm doing cartwheels.
My wounds are nicely slated dear
I never got to thank you right
I was finished way before I could see
Quite what you had in mind for me
I'm doing Cartwheels
Now the pessimism in me yawns
As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns
A voice calls out behind my back
And I take off into the grounds
I'm doing Cartwheels
It'll all tie me up into knots
I didn’t mean to speak out of turn.
Now you can sit and watch me squirm
Now the party's really in full swing
I wish I had a friend I could ring
I'm doing Cartwheels
You're really loving this, aren't you dear?
Now you've got me on the ropes out here
With nowhere else to run to now
Just stay and face the music
It'll all tie me up into knots
I never got to thank you right
I was finished way before I could see
Quite what you had in mind for me
As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns
A voice calls out behind my back
And I take off into the grounds
Now you can sit and watch me squirm
Now the party's really in full swing
I wish I had a friend I could ring
Now you've got me on the ropes out here
With nowhere else to run to now
Just stay and face the music

The lead singer reminds me of someone else but I can't remember! This song is pretty good. I like the violin near the end. I think this song is talking about breaking rules and going against conformity.
I think jenazabab is talking about the lead singer in Snow Patrol, he reminds me of him to
I was thinking the same thing when I heard this song, but there is a reason for that: it IS Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol.
It reminded me of Nada Surf. They sang "If You Leave" on The OC mix 2. It feels good to know who it was. It was bugging me for a while!
that makes sense sammehtosh..but since when was he in reindeer sesction??
its his side project.
yes its gary lightbody's side project. all the members are made up of people from many of scotlands most successful bands including belle and sebastian, idlewild, mogwai, arab strap, teenage fanclub and mull historical society. theres about 30 of them all together!
but what is it about?
lead singer almost sounds like beck
Basically Gary was a bit drunk during a gig and had went around asking all of these artists if they would like to do a supergroup project. Of course they all said yes and the next day while sobbering up he went home and wrote the first album
