Coda

I woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed I thought of youAnd where you’d goneLet the world spin madly on

And everything that I’d said I’d do Like make the world brand newAnd take the time for youJust got lost And stepped right through the dawn And the world spins madly on.

The World Spins Madly On

And I let the day go round And I always say good byeI watch the stars from my windowsillThe whole world is moving and I’m standing still

I woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed The night is hereAnd the day is gone And the world spins madly on Thought of you And where you’d gone And the world spins madly on

Lyric Analysis

• Basic relationship song

• Feeling helpless

• Deep thoughts while lying in bed

• Nobody else cares about me (the world spins madly on)
