Marling, Laura - Devil's Spoke Lyrics






That I might be a part of this
Ripple on water from a lonesome drip
A fallen tree that witnessed me
Him alone, him and me

And that life itself could not aspire
To have someone be so admired
I threw creation to my kin
With a silence broken by a whispered wind

All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

Root to root and tip to tip
I look at him my country drip
Leathered up by all his fears
But someone brought you close to tears

Many trains and many miles
Brought you to me on this sunny isle
And what of which you wish to speak
Have you come here to rescue me?

All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

But the love of your life lives, but lies no more
Than where she lay your flowers grows
The arms that fed and the babes that wed
The backs that bled keeping her in tow

But I am your keeper
And I hold your face away from light
I am yours 'till they come
I am yours 'till they come

Eye to eye, nose to nose
Ripping off each others clothes in a most peculiar way
Eye to eye, nose to nose
Ripping off each others clothes in a most peculiar way

    This sounds very english folk and yet very southern USA, which of course makes a lot of sense because of the huge english influence in the south, but its funny because I think shes here also influenced by uniquely American music of its own, so it really goes both ways

    When I was younger my mum had an iPod, I use to plug into a speaker and dance to the songs, trust me I am no dancer it would of looks awful but loved the music and loved to dance, anyway 14 now big fan of peaky blinders, looking at the soundtrack for Peaky blinders. She sings what he wrote in Peakys I was on Apple Music saw her album cover, I was like hang on I remember that, clicked on it and found this song! Literally just listening to it brought back so many memories, me swilling around to the quick tempo in the kitchen, when I was about 5. 14 now and so happy to of finally found it after many years wondering what it was. Just thought id shared 😂

  31. E.... G....

    Damnation brought me here.

  32. j.... ....

    Splendide !

  33. A.... D....

    I might be a part of this
    Ripple on water from a lonesome drip
    A fallen tree that witness me
    I'm alone, him and me

    And then life itself can not aspire
    To have someone be so admired
    I threw creation to my king
    With the silence broken by a whispered wind

    All of this can be broken
    All of this can be broken
    Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

    And root to root and tip to tip
    I look at him my country gip
    Let it up I own his fears
    But someone brought you close to tears

    Many trains and many miles
    Like you to me on this sunny isle
    And what of which you wish to speak
    Have you come here to rescue me?

    All of this can be broken
    All of this can be broken
    Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground

    But the love of your life
    Lives but lies no more
    And where she lay a flower grows

    The arms are fed and the babes have wed
    And the backs have bled, keeping her in tow

    But I am your keeper
    And I hold your face away from light
    I am yours till they come
    I am yours till they come

    Eye to eye
    Nose to nose
    Ripping off each other's clothes
    In a most peculiar way

    Eye to eye
    Nose to nose
    Ripping off each other's clothes
    In a most peculiar way

    A.... D....

    Thank you for the lyrics, I think there's a couple incorrect? "Many trains and many miles (brought) you to me on this sunny isle". Also I think it's "Room to room" not root to root... Just my opinion, I could be wrong

  34. D.... ....

    Hey Will :)))

  35. d.... ....

    Tea Party, hell yeah.

  36. N.... ....

  66. L.... o....

    Very Mumford

  67. A.... B....

    she did... Karen O & The Million Dollar Bashers - Highway 61 Revisited

  68. k.... m....

    She sounds like someone who should play at the Small World Festival in Uk

  69. J.... B....

    A great talent and compelling song. An ambiguous tone tending to darker shades.
    If you like this I can highly recommend Never Desert A Dying Horse by Karl Culley.

  70. R.... ....

    truthfully we all have a devil of our own either that either that or we are our devil

  71. P.... L....

    yeah, listen to the second voice

  72. O.... ....

    MARCUS MUMFORD AT 1: 16 ??? hehehe , Do you also hear the voice of WINSTON's banjo ? LOVE IT

  73. S.... C....

    i have an urge to burn the local witch on the heath at the next full moon ....naked

  74. B.... ....

    shut the fuck up and enjoy the music

  75. B.... ....

    102 likes vs 0 like=???you just need to shut the fuck up and enjoy the music t-.-

  76. L.... v....

    this music makes me want to dance barefoot in front of a bonfire on a moonless night

  77. B.... ....

    ?????seriously,what do you want?0.0

  78. Q.... ....

    i am more amazed that she is so young !

    hope i'll have a chance to see her live.

  79. D.... ....

    I'm enchanted so much by this girl. She can be my pied piper, someone who can create this art is incredibly special. I wish I was educated enough to have the vocabulary for words for her, as right now I feel breathless after hearing this song. Perfection in this universe, was supposed to be impossible but it's been proven wrong by Laura Marling. Just.. Wow.

    D.... ....

    DaveDragon1985 listen to florence and the machine - what kind of man

  80. B.... ....

    and who give a fuck?

  81. d.... ....

    that's why fullscreen exists

  82. c.... ....

    She brought them to fame so why would they need the credit

  83. j.... a....

    probably is beacause people like you keep giving importance to shit like rihanna instead paying attention to great music like this.

  84. s.... ....

    Marcus Mumford at 1:16? :D

    instead: lovely song ^^

  85. J.... J....
