JUEVES - LYRICS ("Spinning the wheel")

- Spinning the wheel – George Michael

Spinning the wheel. (x4)

Five o'clock in the mornin', you ain't home.
I can't help thinkin' that's strange, yeah, yeah.
Baby, I just want you to know
I won't go through it again, yeah, yeah.
Those clouds are closin' in.

(Baby love)
And I will not accept this as a part of my life.
(Save me love)
I will not live in fear of what may be, ahh.
(Baby love)
And the lessons I have learned.
I would rather be alone than watch you
spinnin' that wheel for me.
You've got a thing about danger,
ain't you gettin' what you want from me?
(Ain't you gettin' what you want from me?)
You've got a thing about strangers
baby that's what we used to be?,
(Baby that's what we used to be?)
You've got a thing about danger, baby.
I guess the hungry just can't see
one of these days you're gonna bring some home to me.

Six o'clock in the mornin', you ain't fun.
I can't help thinkin' that's strange, yeah, yeah.
It seems that everybody takes their chances these days.
Oh yeah, we're standin' in the rain.

(Baby love)
And I will not accept this as a part of my life.
(Save me love)
I will not live in fear of what may be, ahh.
(Baby love)
And the lessons I have learned.
I would rather be alone than watch you
spinnin', spinnin' that wheel for me.
You've got a thing about danger,
ain't you gettin' what you want from me?
(Baby, don't you love that trash)
You've got a thing about strangers,
baby that's what we used to be?
(You know you're always kissin' that ass)
Like it's goin' out of fashion, baby.
I guess the hungry just can't see
(Just can't see)
one of these days you're gonna bring some home to me.

(Baby love)
How can you love me?
when you are playin' with my life?
(Save me love)
You say give me time and I'll do better, I swear.
(Baby love)
Give me time and I'll lead you back to despair.
You've got a thing about danger
Ain't you getting what you want from me?
(And I don't wanna go back there)
You've got a thing about strangers.
Baby that's what we used to be?
(I don't wanna go back there)
You've got a thing about danger baby.
I guess the hungry just can't see.
(Never going back to that, back to that, baby)
One of these days you're gonna bring some home to me.
To me
To me

Spinning the wheel. (x3)

- Notas: “Spinning the wheel” (literalmente “haciendo girar la rueda”) se refiere a la rueda de la fortuna, ya que la canción va dirigida a la pareja del cantante. En la canción le reprocha su promiscuidad sexual (se acuesta con los “strangers”) en un momento en el que el sida era una novedad y se empezaban a ver las mortales consecuencias de la enfermedad. El cantante teme que un día su pareja se contagie (está jugando con la rueda de la fortuna y un día la suerte le fallará) y a su vez le contagie a él (de ahí lo de “bring some home to me”).
- 1. “…mornin'… ain't…” = Es muy típico de las canciones el recurrir al slang y a abreviaturas de uso común. No pronunciar la “g” de las formas verbales acabadas en “-ing” es una de ellas y de ahí lo de “mornin” y cosas similares. El “ain’t” es una forma de pronunciar en una sola sílaba la forma verbal “are not”.
- 2. “…You've got a thing about …” = Las construcciones “to have a thing about” o “to have a thing for” se usan para indicar que una persona tiene una especial atracción, pasión o debilidad por algo, en el caso de la canción es el que le guste el riesgo (“dangers”) o los desconocidos (“strangers”).
