[Will Riley]
The cockerel cries before the sun wakes up
A new day waits to dawn
I’d yawn
But I’m awake
There’s a world out there, you’d swear, with things to do
With unfamiliar sights, and sounds around
Where a something’s always turning, nothing’s inside-out for you
Not a something in so much as never’s ever going to
It’s about halfway towards a might
But never quite assured
An almost day in Spindlewood
As a town goes sure it’s just-
Male villager [spoken]: Morning, Will!
Will: Fine
Male villager: Are you alright?
Not so bad I suppose, and it’s like that all the time
There’s lots of friendly faces, tons of open doors
The problem is they all lead back to yours
Pretty gardens, the countryside’s-
Female villager [spoken]: Morning, Will!
Will: Fine
Female villager: Allright, are you?
Will: Can’t complain just the same, I’m not one to whine
Female villager: Good, good!
There’s nothing wrong with sturdy folk, a solid floor
But its hard if you’re the one who wanted-
[All]
Morning time in spindlewood
It’s a town of woulds and coulds and maybes
Male villager [spoken]: How’s your father?
Female Villager [spoken]: How’s your baby?
Will Riley [Spoken]: Nothing ever changes
All [Sung]: Nothing ever changes-
Will Riley [Spoken]: Ever
All [sung]: There’s no problem here to overcome
Nothing for you to fear
Your life can find a medium as long as you are here
Days turn to weeks into months and then years
In Spindlewood
Safe and secure
Where you’re sure
Complication’s cured
In Spindlewood
[Instrumental]
Constance [sung]: Stepping forward, on the cobblestones
Hear the sound all around
I can try
[Spoken] Hello?
Female villager [spoken]: Mornin’, love, you alright?
You’re everything I ever wanted you to be
I’m wonderful, and thanks for asking me
Female villager [spoken]: Oooookay then
Constance [sung]: Pretty faces the people are-
Male villager [spoken]: How are ya’?
Constance: Fine
Male villager: Ahh, well isn’t that nice?
Constance: How are you?
Male villager [spoken]: Moderate
Constance: Is it like this all the time?
Male villager [spoken]: More often than not
Constance: With every door wide open, people in the street
It’s so welcoming
Will Riley: Another dose of sickly-
All: Sweet and simple Spindlewood
It’s a town of woulds and coulds and maybes
Male villager [spoken]: How’s your man?
Female villager [spoken]: How’s your lady?
Will [spoken]: Really, nothing ever changes
All [sung]: Nothing ever changes
Constance: It’s perfect!
All: It’s a glass half full or half-way empty self reflective scene
And an answer that’s so obviously-
Will [spoken]: Somewhere in-between
All [sung]: Days turns to weeks into months and then years
(Constance: And I can see it all, no window frame or wall)
In Spindlewood
Safe and secure, where you’re sure
(Constance: A picture I’m inside, a story of my own)
Complication’s cured
In Spindlewood
[Instrumental]
[Will and Constance, canon]
Stepping forward
On the cobblestones
There’s a girl
Someone I don’t know
Will: A face that I don’t recognise
Constance: Among the crowd
Both: An unfamiliar feeling
Will: Something not a nothing out and walking
Constance: It’s adventure now outdoors
(Your dress)
She’s beautiful/ So beautiful
Could this be the-
[Overlapping]
(It’s beautiful)
(Oh, I know I made it, I’m amazing)
(The best in town)
Amelia[spoken]: *Gasps* My wedding dress! *sobs*
Female villager [spoken]: I think she’s gonna faint
All: *Gasps*
Male villager [spoken]: Easy there Amelia, I’ve gotcha
All [sung]: Things to do in spindlewood
So it’s back to business gents and ladies
Female villager [spoken]: What happened?
Male villager: Something, maybe!
All(canon) :Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Days turn to weeks into months and then years
In Spindlewood
Safe and secure
Where you’re sure
To find we’re standing still
In Spindlewood!
