  • Carrying my own in the afternoon
    Hiding a spoon she will be soon
    Waiting fork brings a knife
    Spends me her joke, she slips me alive

    Carrying my own in the afternoon
    Hiding a spoon she will be soon
    Waiting fork brings a knife
    Spends me her joke, she slips me alive

    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Carrying my own in the afternoon
    Hiding a spoon she will be soon
    Waiting fork brings a knife

    Spends me her joke, she slips me alive
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care
    Oh, sitting on my chair where nobody want to care Writer/s: Holger Schuering, Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Kenji Suzuki, Michael Karoli

  • Valentine Adonee from Strawberry Fields ForeverIt's usually considered a highlight of the album, as opposed to its 'neighbour' which is "I'm So Green", similar in length and overall groove. Though I love the latter much more, "Spoon" is great, absolutely gorgeous. Yet this applies to the whole album.
