Lyrics to What Will Become of Me: Spinning Out?

Post by Davy28 »

hola amigos
Does anyone know the exact lyrics to What Will Become of Me?
You know, that cute little song D&T play after Jimi Thing on L@LC.
I love playing it as a transition between Jimi Thing and PNP(PNP and WWBOM have the exact same chords, in case you haven't noticed already) but people always get on my case because they can't understand what I am singing; neither do I, for that matter. I just try my hand at DMB style scatting when can't think of anthing else to sing. I've listened to both the L@LC version and the Lilywhite session version and on both the lyrics are unintelligible. I can't seem to find the lyrics anywhere else, either. Any ideas? thanx. :D :?: :roll:

These are the main lyrics off of DMBalmanac.com

I'm spinning down
I'm spinning up
upon this way
wondering what will become of me
when I'm all far away
----------------------------------
I was falling always
and now I'm falling this way
what will become of me?
when I'm all far away
----------------------------------
I'm spinning down
I'm all away
a greater way
what will become of me

You can go to this link: http://dmbalmanac.com/songstats.asp?sid=94 and look at the alternate lyrics for it of when he changed it up at different live shows.

Interesting, but I disagree.

I think the lyrics are "I'm spilling out," reference to his life ending, and his wondering "what will become of me when I'm all poured out."

That's my interpretation, hope it helps.

I didn't say you didn't. I just gave my interpretation.

But as a Flyers season ticket holder, I couldn't agree more:

Go Flyers! Eat it Ottawa fans! (jk)

So I could listen to WWBOM without having to fast forward through L@LC/Jimi Thing every time, I downloaded a version from kazaa that claimed to be from the lilywhite studio sessions. All the other versions were from remote live takes, circa 94/95, with terrible quality.

It isnt on the lillywhite sessions, and wasnt recorded for it either. Its just another mislabeled deal. Pretty common.

I was listening to this song on my cd from 3/29/03 (I think) and I think he says spinning out and spilling out and all the other things mentioned, just at different parts.
