Recorded at Abbey Road and used in American Beauty, We Haven’t Turned Around is Liquid Skin’s emotional high point, with string arrangement by Wil Malone of Bittersweet Symphony fame. Ben Ottewell states that they ‘must have been really excited to work with strings. Goes on forever.’
We came, we came, we came again
To stem the tide and point the blame
Came back for more
Came back to see what you had in store
Everyone join the line, everyone
Yeah
So you want to spin the world around?
So you want to spin the world around
And anybody else, cut 'em down?
So you want to make catastrophe?
Won't you send it right over to me?
I got some time
Everybody running high
The same, the same, the same again
To steal the time and haunt the graves
Just because it's there
Don't mean you see it anywhere
Maybe it's a trick of the light
Maybe, yeah
So you want to spin the world around?
So you want to spin the world around
And anybody else, cut 'em down?
So you want to make catastrophe?
Don't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody come alive
Yeah
So you want to spin the world around?
So you want to spin the world around
And anybody else, bring 'em down?
So you want to make catastrophe?
Don't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody running high
So you want to spin the world around?
So you want to spin the world around
And anybody else, cut 'em down?
So you say we haven't turned around?
So you say we haven't turned around?
Just everybody else is going wrong
Going wrong
