lyrics

Fly on the table, candle on the wall
You can’t help me, you can’t help at all
Take me for a ride in your big black eyes
But don’t try to help, you can’t help me at all

You can feed me gin and I’ll drink my fill
You can be Jack and I’ll try to be Jill
But at the end of the night, you’d better sleep tight
‘Cos I’m turning around and marching back up that hill

There are people in my life, I know, who will help me to get through
But I want more from life than just to survive

A ‘C’ in the air, a bow on the string
Spin me your web and maybe I’ll sing
Take me dancing in your big black heart
But leave me spinning before I want out

If I can’t move my own two feet and will myself to run
Then I’ll sit solitary, patiently until the day that I can

Fly on the table, candle on the wall
You can’t help me, you can’t help at all
Take me for a ride in your big black eyes
But don’t try to help, you can’t help me at all

You can feed me gin and I’ll drink my fill
You can be Jack and I’ll try to be Jill
But at the end of the night, you’d better sleep tight
‘Cos I’m turning around and marching back up that hill

Mary Webb image

Mary Webb Adelaide, Australia

Captivating vocals, catchy, offbeat guitar picking and a swig of poetry, you can see why Mary Webb has been described as "a shining light" in the Adelaide Folk scene. A strong background in classical music has her in good stead, though her music now suggests Jazz and Folk have been powerful influences. Mary’s songs are thoughtful yet frank, exploring human fragility, self-discovery and connection. ... more
