Spinning On An Axis Lyrics

World spinning round
To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up again

I watch the sun go down
With some sorrow
And now I know it's gonna come back tomorrow
Ain't no reason
It has to do that
It's the season of the culture bat

Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Staring in the face
Of time and space
Spinning on an axis

World spinning round
To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up again

Hear me rising
Rise up and sing, rise up, rise up

Although I'm curious
It isn't a crime
I want to know if I'll
Find out in time
A lot of people busy doing their thing
Gonna wake up and sing

Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
We ask the question
And the answer's yes
Spinning on an axis

I watch the sun go down
With some sorrow
And now I know it's gonna come back tomorrow
Ain't no reason why
It has to do that
It's the season of the culture bat

I watch the sun go down
Wonder if it's gonna come back
Certainly there's no guarantee
But I got a feeling it will be
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis
Spinning on, Spinning on an axis
Spinning on an axis

World spinning round
To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up again

World spinning round
To the next revolution
Sun going down
Gonna rise up again
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up

Cover art for Spinning On An Axis lyrics by Paul McCartney

Mediocre! Lazy Paul dropping an idea into the studio and pretty much going with the first thing out of his mouth.

'It's the season of the culture bat' ??!! C'mon, man! It might be insulting to his fans that he expects us to pay for this.

I might be too harsh (but I don't think so). Unless anyone else can force meaning into this I have to assume it is yet another of Paul's stream of conscious utterances. This is a common complaint throughout Paul's solo career in that he kind of wastes an idea. Afterwards you wish he hadn't have done it and, perhaps, you hadn't have heard it. The tune is catchy but the lyrics are ultimately not worthwhile.
