Spinning Jenny Songtext
von Skyclad

She came down from the Western Hills when we were not prepared
I turned deaf ears to words of warning now I′m running scared.
Casting caution to the wind now that the cat's away
I say my grace - fill my face (then for forgiveness pray).
Gon knows I was an honest man - the same as any other
Who loved his wife - worked all his life to keep his family
Until the ′beast' that never sleeps beneath my silken covers
Reared its head and bit its thumb at my morality.


(Chorus:)
Her passion for passion - it will devour
Cruel are the thorns of this delicate flower
Her lust for lust - it will consume
A siren song summons all men to their doom.

She whispered of her innocence - (a plea I must contest)
While baptising helpless sinners with a missionary zest
She will exorcise your demons - then exercise your thighs
Await your 'second-coming′ with a hunger in her eyes.

Her sweetmeats are the souls of men - she′ll gorge herself to bursting
And for yours her heart is thirsting - as a spider craves a fly
No mortal man could ever hope to suit her as a suitor
Sh'll rewrite the Kama Sutra if you′d care to watch her try.

(Repeat Chorus)


I reach for heaven - desire drags me down
When fools choose their king I'll be heir to that crown
A strange kind of madness I cannot condone
If you are without sin come cast the first stone.
