Featuring Kenna singing the main chorus and the Sugababes working their harmonies, William Orbit’s newest album features the stunning track ‘Spiral’. A melee of sounds, the mix of Orbit’s dreamy synthetic sound and the Sugababes’ lush, low voices sooth the melody to allow Kenna’s chorus to slot in perfectly. His most recent solo work since the classical interpretations of Pieces in a Modern Style, William Orbit’s newest album doesn’t disappoint. It’s ambient and electronic without becoming background music. With sounds that could be from a faulty phoneline on ‘Firebrand’ to doo-wah like performance on ‘Who Owns the Octopus?’, it’s a fantastic chillout album that entertains without constantly shouting for attention.
Anyway, I like to sing along to songs as I get obsessed with them, so I wrote out/worked out/muddled out the lyrics to Spiral and here they are:
We bust a red light
And I’ve got no fight
Moving in a mad rush
No limit, I can’t stop
We’re into overdriveHopelessly into you
‘cause you know how to
Unwrap my feelings ‘til I’ve
Opened up from inside
No reason to be shy
Every reason to be mineNothing’s really sane but everything’s amazing
Slowly taking over me
Baby have you noticed, the sky is rearranging
I feel it move in meOh, the ground beneath us crumbles and we fall
So I wonder, will we fall?
‘cause I don’t want to be alone
Caught up in a spiralAdrenaline rush
The moment we touch
Breaking out a hot sweat’s
As good as it gets
I can’t get enough
Fall into a head space
Deep into a new place
Spinning out of control
You should know
I don’t want to be safe
Every reason to be mineNothing’s really sane but everything’s amazing
Slowly taking over me
Baby have you noticed, the sky is rearranging
I feel it move in meOh, the ground beneath us crumbles and we fall
So I wonder, will we fall?
‘cause I don’t want to be alone
Caught up in a spiral
Yeah, yeah
It feels like I’m shaking up
Took all cool to fight it up
All I am is mesmerized
Can’t believe what’s happening,
PolarisedNothing’s really sane but everything’s amazing
Slowly taking over me
Baby have you noticed, the sky is rearranging
I feel it move in me (Yeah yeah)Oh, the ground beneath us crumbles and we fall (fall)
So I wonder, will we fall?
‘cause I don’t want to be alone
Caught up in a spiralDa da da, da da da, da da da ,da
Spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da
I’m caught up in a spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da
I’m caught up in a spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da
Spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da, da
Caught up in a spiral
Da da da, da da da, da da da ,da

Thank you for the lyrics
Hard to find
No problem! It’s just that I puzzled over them, trying to work them out, so thought that someone else might be doing the same thing, so decided to save everyone some time.
I’m glad it worked out as I hoped!
Thanks for taking the trouble for getting the lyrics. I have been recently introduced to this song thru Sirius “Chill” 35 Station. I have managed to incorporate the text into my WMP10 with lyric synchronization.
Oh yeah? Sounds nifty to me… is that where the lyrics come up -karaoke style- as the words are sung?
Thank you so much for the lyric post
Thanks for lyrics. I can’t believe but I was 21 when I heard Orbit’s old album. I was in college and I remember loving it just as much as I love this new one.
It’s really no problem, I just like the fact that we can all share stuff like this without having to work it out ourselves (as in the old days of taping off the radio and so forth!)
i love this song – like Denzil, i wouldnt have heard it if not for Sirius… anyone have suggestions of where to find new music like this? anyone have any other favorite artists? suggestions?
thanks all
Nice work. One correction though – “I tremble and rush” is actually “Adrenaline rush”.
That’s so right KT. Thanks a lot. I guess sometimes your brain just thinks it’s one thing when in fact it’s not. Thanks for the correction!
wow this music makes people roll hard off of XTC WOW HOORAY FOR THIS ARTIST MAKING DRUG MUSIC !!!
Thank you very much for the lyrics. I love this song and now I can sing along
Correction: The ground beneath us crumbles (not trembles)
YEEEAAAHHHHH!!!!! My cousin’s song with Sugababes is popular. William Orbit is my cousin (His real name is William Wainright)

I’m thinking its about an accident,strange theme for such a delicate song…
I thought … “nothing’s really sacred; everything’s amazing” … brilliant song anyway!
Does anyone know any song as sexy as this? Love it!
And so i return a year after and the song is still brilliant. Comparing a car accident with a bad relationship…equating feeling and reality,body and soul…brilliant
