I ran away in floods of shame
I'll never tell how close I came
As I cross the Holland road
You went left and I went right
As the moon hung proud and white
You would have loved it here tonight
Spin me round just to pin me down
On the cover of this strange bed
Spin me round just to pin me down
Roll out your questions keep them down
Let the water lead us home
And I was sorry for what I'd done
You were young I was not old
But our story was not told
But torn apart by greedy hands
Spin me round just to pin me down
On the cover of this strange bed
spin me round just to pin me down
Spin me round just to pin me down
I'll be gone by the nights end
Spin me round just to pin me down
But I'll be home in a little while
Lover I'll be home
And I'll be home in a little while
Lover I'll be home
And I'll be home in a little while
Lover I'll be home
And I'll be homw in a little while
Lover I'll be home

"And I knew your pain and the effect of my shame/But you cut me down, you cut me down"
Cut and dried sylvan folk strums lift this ode to a grouchy ladyfriend to its brassy apogee, complete with totally-not-rousing “ah ah ahs” and then some. In other words, the standard Mumford & Sons song structure, regurgitated for our consumption all over again. Aren’t we lucky?
