Spinning Plates (YULT Sub Remix)

My early morning dreams don't matter and seem jocular

Shattered as the letter box clatters

Like the outside world just spat at me

See I'm popular with credit card companies

Final warning me I can't afford to live comfortably

There's bills for gas, tax and electric

Can't expect my clothes to wash themselves

Responsibilities kicked in

Scabbers on the shelves

Pots pile up in the kitchen

I don't want to just survive on a 9 to 5

There's something missing

I thought I'd paint a masterpiece

I thought I'd swim the English Channel

Thought I'd firework my way through life

Or be a human cannonball

But I'm too busy spinning plates

Getting dizzy but can't stop in case one breaks

Too busy spinning plates

But can't stop in case one breaks

My 9 to 5's an 8 to 6

And by the time I've made the trip to work and back

Sat in traffic I'm exhausted

Fuming at the thought

Of a life led hand to mouth

Just consuming's not enough

I know there's more to it

I need to do the things I love

That make me buzz to my core

I need more free time

But I can't afford it

I thought I'd be an Olympian

Thought I'd write the next great novel

Thought I'd stride across continents

And laugh at any obstacle

But no, cos I'm too busy spinning plates

Getting dizzy but can't stop in case one breaks

No, I'm much too busy spinning plates

Getting dizzy but can't stop

Just in case one breaks

Too busy spinning plates

But can't stop in case one breaks

Too busy spinning plates

But can't stop in case one breaks

I'm spinning plates

I'm losing patience

It's a mundane whip

This same rotation

Stuck in a loop

But I'm not stopping case I break one

Too busy spinning plates

But can't stop in case one breaks

Too busy spinning plates

But can't stop in case one breaks
