Crowded House - Catherine Wheels Lyrics
No night to stay in
Bad moon is rising again
Dice rolls
And you burn
Come down I fear
I know what I know
Sad Claude's been sleeping around
To stroke the right nerve
Whose needs do I serve
As Catherine's wheel turns
She was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
To his blind apparition
His face creases up
With age gone grey
He'll back here one day
She was always the first to say gone
she's got her catherine wheels on
Always the first to say gone
She's got her catherine wheels on
Wheels on
Catherine wheels
She's gone
Vanished in the night
Broke off the logic of light
He woke
Tore the covers back
Found he was empty inside
So they were told
When the moon would rise
The best time to leave with your soul
She's gone
But towards the light
Watching her whole life unfold
Bruises come out dark
So strong was his hold on her
Regarded by some as his slave
He spoke as in a stranger's tongue
Despair us and drive you away
Bruises come out dark

Crowded House Catherine Wheels Comments
This is a perfect song , Paul McCartney.
Why this wasn't a single I'll never understand.
The most underrated band in the Universe.
I was dating Catherine when this song came out and I loved it..she hated it but like the song, she was gone....Farewell Cathy, I hope life has treated you well and your future is secure....
Very special album for me.
fel in love with this band when house was comming up verry verry good
great song great band greetings from croatia
great article about Together Alone https://thepopculturallists.com/2018/03/09/out-of-the-box-early-90s-cds/
This song, for me, is a tribute to a girl I once knew who left her life in the depth of despair, a woman who could take no more and I pray she has found peace. All she needed was love. I adore this band and their depth of feeling in songs such as this one, She Goes On and Fingers Of Love. Beautiful in the knowledge of pain.
One of the best songs ever.
Thank you for uploading this!!
Stunning song, the whole album is genius.
LOVE THIS SONG OMG
DO YOU THINK CATHERINE WHEEL TOOK THEIR NAME FROM THIS SONG?
Or perhaps the took it from an actual Catherine Wheel?
Oh my God! I am one of those that are constantly searching for hidden treasures. This is too good!!! Thank you.
Marcia Leite Iv loved Crowded House since the 90's and they will not fail to move you...xxx
Yes, the 90's! and yet feels so refreshing. :) Thanks Darren.
Together alone and wood face are both brilliant albums well worth a listen to but be warned it'll hook you big time.
They still are!!! If you want bitter - sweet there don't come much better than Crowded House...
Vi ascolterò per tutta la vita
thats why i dont really want to listen to others anymore
So i guess they hired ppl to check if ppl are smart or insane. But brainstorming the use of a mirror is a step to far for them :P
Just another one of Neil Finn's hidden gems...
And Nick!!!
top song- very underrated,the Finns must be two of the best writers and musicians last 20 years
he is.... brilliant song writer/ singer
This is a great song!!
I still think they are the best song writers since the Beatles, the construction and harmony and melody are fantastic. Bold statement i know, but as song writers of pop music they are hard to fault..
Take me to another place and time
For me, until I heard Neil Finn, The Beatles were the best songwriters/performers. Finn shifted immediately into first place, and McCartney, Lennon, Harrison and Starr moved into second! Finn's music is utter brilliance.
Neil was able to stand on The Beatles' shoulders though. Cheers
I'm in total absolute agreement with you. Neil Finn's music is sublime. Have you heard his latest solo album (I think it's three years old now)? I've been falling in love with for about six months now. Some of his very finest writing EVER. More subtle and less direct than CH, but very rewarding.
Don't think it's a bold statement. Many a time I've played their music and it's been mistaken for beatles tunes.
Don't know why but whenever I hear this song, I get the image of people sitting around a campfire singing this song. Weird.
I can understand that. It often makes me think of Halloween (although a Catherine wheel is a firework so it should really be bonfire night)
I think that about all Crowded House songs. Neil is the kind of guy you want to take camping to get the singing going around the camp fire.
This STILL sounds so great so many years after the fact.
...i też się nie oprę...
Haunting...right up there with the Beatles and the Beach Boys....just awesome harmonies!
Along with Fingers of Love and Private Universe, they make the most magnificent trio of haunting beautifully written songs ever to grace a single album :-)
Whispers and moans too
my dad played us crowded house since we were babies on 10hour car journeys across france on camping holidays. something about CH and the open road...
dice rolls,and you burn.......just something about those chosen words!
Haha, actually I have a similar memory linked to this song /album, summer 1994, I was working in Cornwall and my student gf lived in Perthshire, driving up the motorway in the sunshine, all the windows down, wonderful summer, beautiful carefree days!
0 dislikes-so it should be!
One of the most beautiful voices!
naw Catherine Wheels,in other words the 'wheels'she wheels from sad claud's violence..
hmm Catherine Wheels were a inquisition era torture device. Don't tell your girlfriend you think of her when this song comes on.
Beautiful song. I wish it didn't have my name in, because I would like it so much more.
CH was always great driving to see your girlfriend music - stereo loud and a passenger seat of nibbles..
Just amazing
how do you say what's needed?
THANKS :)
I could listen to this gorgeous song forever.
Krista Johnson Hey, I could too....so so beautiful, romantic, haunting....Crowded house were so awesome! Beautiful summer music...xxx
