I'm doing cartwheels
I'm doing cartwheels
I'm doing cartwheels

My wounds are nice and salty, dear
I never got to thank you right
Was finished way before I could see
Quite what you had in mind for me

I'm doing cartwheels
I'm doing cartwheels
I'm doing cartwheels

Now the pessimism in me yawns
As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns
A voice calls out behind my back
And I take off into the grounds

I'm doing cartwheels
I'm doing cartwheels
I'm doing cartwheels

It'll all tie me up into knots
It'll all tie me up into knots

I didn't mean to speak out of turn
Now you can sit and watch me squirm
The party's really in full swing
I wish I had a friend I could ring

I'm doing cartwheels
I'm doing cartwheels
I'm doing cartwheels

You're really loving this, aren't you, dear?
Now you've got me on the ropes out here
With nowhere else to run to now
Just stay and face the music

It'll all tie me up into knots
It'll all tie me up into knots
It'll all tie me up into knots
It'll all tie me up into knots

Wow, hit the song comments and was shocked to see a comment from physicsgenius right at the top. I was wondering if he had made it back, but then I looked at the date. I guess this one was out of rotation for awhile. Interestingly, I agree with his comment. It's OKay, but doesn't really go anywhere.

Goes nowhere.

Along with all the other "sounds-like" comments, lead vocals sounds like Joseph Arthur!?

Backing vocals are very reminiscent of Mazzy Star...

Why does this sound so much like Snow Patrol? oh, because it is Snow Patrol. Go figure.
Despite this, I really like it.

Who gives a flying f*ck at a rolling doughnut if you're doing cartwheels? Seriously.

If you like it, check out the Trashcan Sinatras.

Sounds like Folk Implosion / Lou Barlow to me.

Listening... listening... listening... mmmmmm.... the first few seconds kinda bugged me... then it started to get better, but we keep going back to doing Cartwheels and I'm starting to feel the unpleasant nauseousness of it all. #-o "Run" caught my ear before but this just doesn't do it for me.

This isn't a side project of Snow Patrol is it? Vocals sound just like it. Good just the same though
